The details are firming up for Hulu’s upcoming X-Files reboot. With Ryan Coogler in place as an executive producer and director, and his successors to Fox Mulder and Dana Scully officially cast, the time has come to find the ensemble that will play against them across the show’s first season.
Per Deadline, eight actors have joined the new X-Files in guest roles. Genre gem Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster, Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, Sofia Grace Clifton, and Oscar-winner Amy Madigan are joining the series. That a handful of these actors are indigenous might speak somewhat to the focus or setting of the season — but it’s also interesting to see Madigan’s name on the list. It’s only been a few months since the actress took home the Oscar for her chilling role in Weapons, but her long and prosperous road to the Academy Awards quickly cemented her as a new horror icon.
