‘X-Files’: Ryan Coogler’s Reboot Sets Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster & More In Guest Roles
- On Monday, filmmaker Ryan Coogler announced eight guest stars for his The X-Files reboot, which is in active development as a pilot at Hulu.
- Ordered to pilot after a three-year journey, the reboot brings original The X-Files creator Chris Carter back into the fold, with Coogler writing and directing for Onyx Collective Studio and 20th Television.
- The newly revealed guest cast features Academy Award winner Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, and Ben Foster, alongside Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, and Sofia Grace Clifton.
- Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel headline the series, portraying two highly decorated yet markedly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond investigating a long-shuttered division devoted to unexplained phenomena.
- Since debuting on Fox in 1993, the franchise became a cultural phenomenon across nine seasons and two theatrical films; Coogler's new take aims to revive the property following the original series and a 2016 revival.
