After almost ten years, the future of The X-Files remains a mystery, but Gillian Anderson—best known for her role as the pragmatic FBI agent Dana Scully over nine seasons and two recent revivals—offers a hopeful outlook. She’s read the script for the upcoming reboot, directed by Ryan Coogler, and believes the series is in capable hands, giving fans a reason to be optimistic.
Gillian Anderson details what she thinks of Ryan Coogler’s script for X-Files reboot
I’m a huge fan, and I was so excited to hear Gillian Anderson talk about the new script! She recently read it and said she was really impressed. She even addressed our concerns – you know how protective we all are of the original! She was at a convention in Washington and told everyone she’d read it and thought it was fantastic, urging us not to be too quick to judge. She described it as both very different and very similar to what we already love, and she said it’s truly special. It’s such a relief to hear her say that!
She felt confident in the upcoming X-Files reboot largely because director Ryan Coogler, known for films like Black Panther and The Sinners, is very familiar with the original series. Chris Carter, who created the original X-Files, is also involved as an executive producer.
Anderson praised the filmmaker as exceptionally talented and uniquely capable of handling the project well, noting his deep passion for the source material. He expressed excitement about Chris’s decision to involve him, calling it a fantastic opportunity and predicting fans will be very pleased with the direction he takes the franchise.
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are both potentially returning for the new X-Files series, though nothing is confirmed yet. Hulu has ordered a pilot episode, and the reboot will star Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel as FBI agents investigating reopened paranormal cases.
The series does not yet have a release date.
