Hulu wants to believe in Ryan Coogler's X-Files reboot for a whole season
Hulu believes the truth is out there and is giving Ryan Coogler's X-Files reboot a season to see what it can find.
Hulu has decided to give Ryan Coogler a full season to develop his reboot of the popular X-Files television series. The streamer has cast Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel as two FBI agents who will investigate unexplained phenomena in a new division of the bureau. While the actors will not be playing the iconic roles of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, they will work with Coogler on their new characters.
The series aims to capture the paranormal mystery and intrigue of the original show, but with a fresh perspective. Coogler, known for his success with Marvel's Black Panther, has proven his ability to create mainstream horror that appeals to both critics and audiences. His work on Chloé Zhao's Buffy The Vampire Slayer reboot was met with critical acclaim, but Hulu opted against it.
Coogler's X-Files project has also garnered attention, and a pilot was ordered in February. However, a premiere date for the series has not been set.
