While the ’90s produced many television shows now considered pivotal, few were as influential or as enduring as The X-Files . Created by Chris Carter , the series starred David Duchovny as FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder and Gillian Anderson as Dr. Dana Scully, a skeptic assigned to debunk his work on the bureau’s so-called “X-Files,” cases involving unexplained and often paranormal phenomena. The series helped redefine genre television, proving that ambitious serialized storytelling could thrive on primetime. And now, under the watchful eye of filmmaker Ryan Coogler , the series was finally ordered to pilot after a three-year journey to get the reboot to the small screen. As the pilot revs up, casting for the project moves forward with Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler set for the reboot.
