David Duchovny new series 2025 dives into the shadows of government secrecy with Secrets Declassified with David Duchovny, a 10-part documentary series premiering Friday, April 4 on the History Channel. Each episode uncovers newly unsealed information about the U.S. government’s most covert and astonishing operations.
“I’m drawn to the real, stranger-than-fiction stories,” says Duchovny, 64. “It’s an endless treasure trove of actions taken—or hidden—by the government.”
He emphasizes that secrecy isn’t always sinister. “Governments need to keep things under wraps sometimes,” he explains. “But often, even with noble intentions, the execution can be anywhere from absurd to terrifying.”
David Duchovny New Series 2025 Starts with Area 51
The first episode takes a deep dive into Area 51, the infamous and heavily secured military site in Nevada. Long speculated to be linked to extraterrestrial activity, some believe alien spacecraft and even bodies are hidden on the premises.
Duchovny, known for portraying conspiracy theorist Fox Mulder in The X-Files, is no stranger to wild theories. But he admits, “I don’t really buy into the big conspiracy narratives. It’s hard enough for two people to keep a secret—let alone a global cover-up involving millions.”
He adds, “Believing in conspiracies often simplifies the complexity of real-world events. It’s not that there’s always a master plan—sometimes it’s just bad actors with poor execution.”

While fans often approach Duchovny with elaborate theories, he usually sidesteps those conversations. “I remember years ago at a convention, people kept asking me about lizards. I didn’t realize they were referencing the lizard people conspiracy—I just thought they liked reptiles,” he laughs.
He calls The X-Files “one of those rare shows that hits a nerve,” even though he can’t fully explain its enduring appeal.
Outside of acting, Duchovny is constantly creating. He has a new album and a poetry book on the way this year. “I’m not good at downtime,” he jokes. “That’s the real conspiracy—I don’t think downtime exists.”
Though he avoids social media, Duchovny admits to enjoying deep dives into music documentaries. He recently watched Sly Lives!, a documentary by Questlove, which rekindled his passion for music history.
Still, he’s eager to see what else may surface in future seasons. “This feels like an endless well of stories,” he says. “People often prefer a wild tale over a boring truth—that’s why conspiracies will always be around.”
