Ryan Coogler ‘X Files’ reboot to star Danielle Deadwyler

  • Recently, Hulu ordered a pilot for Ryan Coogler's reboot of The X-Files, with Coogler writing, directing, and executive producing under his Proximity Media banner.
  • The pilot order follows a three-year development journey tied to Coogler's TV overall deal with Disney, which pushed the project forward recently.
  • Casting and producing details show Danielle Deadwyler is set as one of the two co-leads, with Jennifer Yale as showrunner and producers including Chris Carter, Sev Ohanian, Zinzi Coogler, Onyx Collective, 20th Television, and Francine Maisler casting.
  • The pilot is billed as the first official reboot of The X-Files and arrives amid renewed mainstream and congressional interest in UAPs and UFOs.
  • Looking toward a potential series, the new logline departs from the original Mulder‑Scully dynamic, and Ryan Coogler and production partners could reshape the franchise's TV future if realized.
