Ryan Coogler’s The X-Files reboot has officially been greenlit, with The Harder They Fall actor Danielle Deadwyler stepping into Gillian Anderson’s shoes as the show’s leading FBI agent.
The filmmaker behind the Oscar-nominated vampire horror Sinners and Marvel’s Black Panther has been teasing a possible revival since 2023, citing his love for the hit paranormal drama series that originally starred Anderson alongside David Duchovny as FBI agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder investigating unsolved cases.
