Hulu has given a full series order to Ryan Coogler's X-Files reboot, according to Screen Rant. Coogler wrote and directed the pilot for the project, which the streamer describes as a reimagining of The X-Files.
Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel star as two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents assigned to a long-shuttered division.
The series traces back to early 2023, when original X-Files creator Chris Carter revealed that Coogler was developing a new take on the franchise. Hulu joined the project with a pilot order in early 2026, and production on the pilot ran from May to June 2026.
Coogler serves as creator, writer, director and executive producer. Jennifer Yale is showrunner and executive producer. Chris Carter, Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Dezi Gallegos also executive produce, and Amy Madigan is among the cast.
