X-Files Reboot: Star Himesh Patel Hopes for Greenlight
7 Jul
Summary
- Himesh Patel expressed optimism for Ryan Coogler's X-Files reboot.
- The pilot episode for the reimagined X-Files series has been completed.
- A decision on whether the series will be picked up is still pending.
Hulu's potential X-Files reboot, spearheaded by Ryan Coogler and featuring Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler, awaits a network decision. Patel, who was not a childhood fan of the original series due to his 1990 birthdate but whose mother was a devoted viewer, described the completed pilot as "very, very special." He indicated that the team, including Coogler, aimed for "depth" and "meaningful context," believing in an intelligent audience. Patel shared his personal inclination towards being a believer rather than a skeptic but remained tight-lipped about his character's stance. The fate of Coogler's X-Files series hangs in the balance as the decision looms.
