US Edition‘X-Files’: Ryan Coogler Pilot Casts Himesh Patel Opposite Danielle Deadwyler
The reboot features two new FBI agents investigating unexplained phenomena, produced by Ryan Coogler and Onyx Collective, tapping into growing interest in aliens and UFOs.
- Himesh Patel has joined Danielle Deadwyler as co-lead in Ryan Coogler's The X-Files reboot pilot at Hulu, which hails from Onyx Collective and 20th Television.
- News of Coogler's take on the sci-fi procedural emerged in 2023, when original The X-Files creator Chris Carter revealed Coogler proposed a reboot with a diverse cast.
- Deadwyler and Patel will play original characters rather than recasting Agent Fox Mulder and Agent Dana Scully, with Jennifer Yale serving as showrunner and Proximity Media's Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler producing.
- Reuniting after appearing in the HBO Max miniseries Station Eleven, Patel brings experience from Yesterday and Tenet, while Deadwyler adds acclaim from her work in Sinners.
- Interest in UFOs and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, which have received congressional attention, frames the production's return, alongside Steven Spielberg's upcoming film Disclosure Day which mirrors the show's themes.
