If you’ve ever wondered whether or not you could be paid to couch surf and watch The X-Files, well…you may be in luck. This week, PlutoTV announced a new promotion regarding the beloved sci-fi thriller. Now that all seasons of The X-Files are streaming on the free service, it’s hosting a contest in which one lucky winner and a guest will get an all-expense trip to a special alien-themed installation where they’ll be able to binge the series for nine straight day.
To enter, viewers musts make sure they meet eligibility requirements, and then submit a video explaining what makes them the best X-Files fan. The winner the platform chooses to win will receive travel vouches for two people to the vacation destination, select meals and entertainment, and a ten-night stay in an “off-grid” facility themed after that shady government organizations that make up the show.
“At a moment when conspiracy culture has moved from fringe forums to mainstream discourse, The X-Files lands differently today,” Will Gurman, SVP, Content Partnerships & Programming for Pluto TV, offered in a release. “This cult classic pioneered binge-worthy, supernatural storytelling and built one of TV’s most passionate fan communities. With the entire series always available and totally free, it’s a show you can disappear into for days. This is exactly the kind of deep library comfort viewing Pluto TV was built for.”
The contest is open now through March 20th. Full rules can be read here.
The promotion follows news of a potential X-Files reboot surfacing. Black Panther helmer Ryan Coogler has long been attached to a project looking to build off the massive fandom of the David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson-starring series. As of February, Coogler’s take on the show had received a pilot order from Hulu.
