The truth is still out there, and Hulu is going to help in the hunt for it. The streaming service has ordered a pilot for a Ryan Coogler reboot of The X-Files.
According to Deadline, Danielle Deadwyler will star in the series as one of a pair of FBI agents tasked with reopening the long-shuttered division to investigate unexplained phenomena.
Coogler has been working on the reboot for the last three years. He said the following about the project last year:
“I’ve been excited about that for a long time, and I’m fired up to get back to it. Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really f*cking scary. We’re gonna try to make something really great and really be something for the real X-Files fans, and maybe find some new ones.”
The original series premiered in 1993 and aired for nine seasons on FOX. There were also two films and a revival series, which aired for two seasons starting in 2016.
Additional details for The X-Files reboot will be revealed later.
