Hulu has officially greenlit a pilot for Ryan Kugler's reboot of the classic sci-fi series The X-Files. The project has been developing since 2023, with Station 11 star Daniel Deadwiler stepping in as the new lead. Jillian Anderson, who played Dana Scully in the original show, recently shared her enthusiasm after chatting with Kugler. He called him talented and praised the pilot script as strong and fresh. The original X-Files, created by Chris Carter, debuted on Fox in 1993. It followed FBI agent Scully, a skeptic played by Anderson and Fox Molder, a believer played by David DeCovny as they probed paranormal cases. The series ran for nine seasons, plus two revival seasons in 2016 and 2018, and two movies. Kugler has expressed hope for Anderson's involvement, keeping his fingers crossed.
