Himesh Patel & Danielle Deadwyler to Star in Ryan Coogler's X-FILES Reboot

Himesh Patel ("The Odyssey", "Yesterday") and Danielle Deadwyler ("Till", "The Woman in the Yard") have signed on to star as the leads in Hulu's upcoming reboot of the iconic TV series "The X-Files". The new show has received a pilot greenlight at the streamer and is being developed by Onyx Collective and 20th Television. Jennifer Yale will serve as showrunner.

Deadwyler and Patel will be playing new original characters in the series. The pilot will be written and directed by Oscar-winning "Sinners" filmmaker Ryan Coogler. The plot will revolve around two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents, played by Deadwyler and Patel, who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.

Original "X-Files" creator Chris Carter will executive produce alongside Yale, Coogler, Sev Ohanian, Simone Harris and Zinzi Coogler. The pilot is being cast by "Sinners" casting director Francine Maisler. Proximity Media's director of development Dezi Gallegos will oversee the pilot.

Patel can next be seen in Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated epic "The Odyssey", which opens in theaters on July 17, 2026. He will also reprise his role as Dr. Watson in "Enola Holmes 3" opposite Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter, and Louis Partridge. He also stars in the comedy series "Bait" alongside Riz Ahmed.
