Earlier this year, it was reported Black Panther franchising director Ryan Coogler was going to develop a reboot of The X-Files. That initial information was shared by the series creator Chris Carterwho said at the time: “I just talked to a young man… Ryan Coogler… who’s going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast. So he’s got his work cut out for him, because we’ve covered so much territory.”
Bloomberg has now confirmed that Coogler is indeed working on an X-Files reboot for Disney’s 20th Century Studios. There are no details to share yet, but the project is in active development.
As a longtime fan of The X-FilesI think continuing the series without Agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) will be difficult for many fans. So, Coogler and his creative team really have to pull out all the stops when it comes to the stories the series tells. If they can tell great, fun stories with interesting, likable characters, then they have a chance of doing that. But the original series set the bar really high…so, good luck to them!
As of 2020, an animated spin-off comedy series titled The X-Files: Albuquerque, which Carter was supposed to produce for Fox. That series would have revolved around an “office full of misfit agents investigating X-Files cases too outlandish, ridiculous, or downright stupid for Mulder and Scully to bother with.” It is explained that these agents are basically the B-team of The X-Files. That project ended up being scrapped.
The X-Files originally aired from 1993 to 2002, the show follows FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as they investigate unsolved and often paranormal cases known as the X-Files. Mulder believes in the existence of extraterrestrial life and government conspiracies, while Scully is a skeptical scientist tasked with debunking her theories. Together, they uncover a complex web of government cover-ups, supernatural phenomena, and mysterious creatures as they face their personal and professional challenges. She has left an indelible mark on popular culture and has a devoted fan base that continues to embrace her wild stories.
Do you think Ryan Coogler has what it takes to develop a big thing? X files series?
