Hulu Orders Ryan Coogler's 'X-Files' Reboot as a Full Series
On October 13, 2026, Hulu announced that it has greenlit Ryan Coogler’s reboot of The X-Files for full production. This marks the first time in over two decades since the original series ended its run on Fox. While the show will feature new characters played by Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel rather than reimagining Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, it aims to capture the essence of the classic sci-fi mystery franchise. The reboot is expected to bring a fresh perspective while maintaining the core themes that made The X-Files popular. Ryan Coogler’s involvement has generated significant interest among fans and industry observers alike due to his acclaimed work on films like 'Black Panther' and 'Creed II.' This development reflects Hulu's ongoing strategy of investing in high-profile reboots and original content to compete with other streaming platforms.
