Ryan Coogler’s Next Project? A “Really Scary” Reboot of ‘The X-Files’

Originally reported a couple years back, Sinners director Ryan Coogler has confirmed in a new interview this week that his next project will bring “The X-Files” back to the screen!

Coogler tells Last Podcast on the Left, “I’ve been excited about that for a long time and I’m fired up to get back to it. Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really fucking scary.”

“We’re going to try to make something really great, and make something for the real X-Files fans and maybe find some new ones,” Coogler added during the same conversation.

No word yet on whether or not David Duchovny or Gillian Anderson will return for the new series, but Coogler says that he has spoken to Anderson. “Fingers crossed there,” he notes.

“The X-Files” is “immediately next” on Coogler’s schedule. Stay tuned for more.

“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons from September 1993 to May 2002, with tenth and eleventh seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. In total, 218 episodes were made.

Additionally, the universe of “The X-Files” was expanded upon with two feature films: The X-Files: Fight the Future in 1998 and later The X-Files: I Want to Believe in 2008.
