• Hulu has ordered the reboot to series, signaling a major return for the paranormal drama.
• Coogler, the filmmaker behind Black Panther and Creed, is attached to develop and produce the project.
• The new series will revisit the franchise’s core blend of government conspiracies, unexplained phenomena and investigations into the unknown.
• Details about the cast, storyline and premiere date have not yet been announced.
• The original X Files, created by Chris Carter, ran for nine seasons from 1993 to 2002 before returning for two additional seasons in 2016 and 2018.
The Hulu project is expected to introduce the property to a new generation while retaining the investigative tension and supernatural mystery that defined the original. Coogler’s involvement adds considerable momentum, given his record of combining ambitious genre storytelling with socially resonant themes. The reboot joins Hulu’s expanding slate of high-profile television projects and could become a central title in the platform’s push for event programming.
