Season 4 of '''''The X-Files''''' premiered on October 4, 1996. Like all previous seasons of the show, the fourth season was filmed in and around Vancouver, British Columbia.

| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Season 4 of The X-Files premiered on October 4, 1996. Like all previous seasons of the show, the fourth season was filmed in and around Vancouver, British Columbia. Season 4 would bring several new elements, both off-screen and on, to the series. Several older characters would make brief returns in S4, including 'Deep Throat' (Jerry Hardin), while new characters and actors were introduced, including Laurie Holden, who would play Mulder's new informant Marita Covarrubias, and Chris Owens, who would play the younger version of 'The Cigarette-Smoking Man'. Both of these actors would make additional appearances throughout the rest of the show. In addition, the background alien conspiracy mythology was expanded considerably with several new elements, including the revelation of the use of altered Africanized Honey Bees (an aspect that would be a paramount plot point for the 1998 feature film), while several 'Monster of the Week' episodes would continue touching on dark and light tones alike, and would feature several noted guest actors, including Tom Noonan and Paul McCrane.
Off-screen, writing duo Glen Morgan and James Wong, following the cancellation of their own series Space: Above and Beyond, returned to write episodes for the X-Files' fourth season; several actors from their show would also be featured in S4. Many episodes in Season 4 would prove to be considerably remarkable - Among these would be "Home", the first episode in the season written by Morgan and Wong, which would be the first episode in the show to be given an explicit 'viewer discretion advisory' for content; "Unruhe", which marked the change in the show's previous airtime slot from Friday evening to Sunday evening (where the show would continue to air for the remainder of it's original run on FOX); and "Leonard Betts", chosen as the lead-out for Super Bowl XXXI, and, as a result, would subsequently be the highest-rated episode in the entire show's run. The series' previous Friday evening timeslot would subsequently be taken by showrunner Chris Carter's next series, Millennium, which would also debut in October 1996.
The fourth season of The X-Files would conclude in May 1997 with 24 episodes. Notable in regard to the season's conclusion would be the upcoming feature film; Specifically that main production and filming for the upcoming feature film would begin immediately afterward, during the hiatus between the fourth and fifth seasons.
