Ryan Coogler Says His X-Files Reboot Will Blend Monster-of-the-Week With Mythology

Coogler frames the project as a personal homage that preserves the series’ case-of-the-week structure alongside its overarching conspiracy.

Overview

  • In a Happy Sad Confused interview, Coogler confirmed the new run will feature both standalone monster cases and the larger conspiracy arc.
  • He called the show a personal project rooted in watching it with his mother and said some episodes should be genuinely scary if the team does its job.
  • The project remains in development with no casting finalized, as Gillian Anderson has spoken with Coogler and indicated she is open to participating.
  • A rumor linking Danielle Deadwyler to a lead role remains unconfirmed, with Coogler saying he can neither confirm nor deny the report when asked.
  • Original creator Chris Carter is not involved in the revival, according to recent coverage.
