From Deadline
The hunt for the truth out there is back on. Ryan Coogler‘s long-gestating The X-Files reboot has received a pilot greenlight at Hulu. Danielle Deadwyler (The Piano Lesson) is set as the co-lead in the project, from Onyx Collective and 20th Television. Jennifer Yale (The Copenhagen Test) has come on board as showrunner, Deadline can reveal exclusively.
Sinners filmmaker Coogler is writing and directing the pilot for the new X-Files. In it, two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents — one played by Deadwyler — form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Yale executive produces alongside The X-Files creator Chris Carter as well as Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler of Proximity Media. The company’s Simone Harris is a co-executive producer. The pilot is being cast by Sinners casting director Francine Maisler.

I used to love the "X Files", I will be watching
Danielle is the GOAT. Station 11 was incredible because of her. I was excited before but now? This is going to be the best television in a decade at least.
I think I'll watch too.
There are so many talented Black American writers and producers in HW. So why aren't they allowed to create new movies/tv series. This plugging new characters into old shows is annoying and yet another example how little they think of us.
