Hulu greenlights The X-Files series from Ryan Coogler

Hulu has officially greenlit a new series based on The X-Files. The project, produced by 20th Television in association with Proximity Media and Onyx Collective, will be available on Disney+ in various international markets.

Ryan Coogler wrote, directed, and executive produced the pilot episode. The series is described as a reinterpretation of the classic sci-fi drama, following two highly decorated but very different FBI agents assigned to a division handling inexplicable phenomena. The cast includes Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel.

Original series creator Chris Carter is involved as an executive producer. Coogler expressed his intention to honor the elements that made the original series resonate with audiences while establishing a new direction for the franchise.
