A revival of the beloved sci-fi series The X-Files is in the works.

The X-Files hasn’t aired a new episode since its 11th season in 2018, but according to creator Chris Carter, there may be an ongoing project from Black Panther and Creed director Ryan Coogler.

From 1993 to 2002, The X-Files wowed viewers with thrilling investigations into the paranormal. A few years ago the series had a brief resurgence and returned for the 10th and 11th seasons, and good news for sci-fi fans, other stories in the X-Files universe are said to be in the works.

Indeed, during a recent interview with CBC’s On The Coast, Chris Carter, the creator of the iconic sci-fi series, hinted that Coogler was looking to “up” the series well- beloved with a more diverse cast. For those who don’t know Ryan Cooglerit’s about director behind the Creed and Black Panther film franchises.

Black Panther director wants to create a new X-Files series

The new version of the series, which Carter calls a “remount,” is a clear departure from The X-Files: Albuquerque project, an animated comedy that Carter was to produce in 2020. This series was to revolve around a ” office full of misfit agents investigating X-Files cases too wacky, ridiculous, or downright stupid for Mulder and Scully to care “. It is explained that these agents are something of a B-Team for the X-Files. This project is being developed by Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko, as writers and executive producers.

The new series worn by Ryan Coogler promises to be completely different. Carter also explains that he thinks the series should be changed considerably to better meet the expectations of current audiences.

This news would therefore perhaps be an opportunity to dive back into the series, or to watch it for the first time for those who missed it.

For those who want to watch other programs, we remind you that Disney+ has already unveiled the list of new films and series to come in April 2023, including Spider-Man Far From Home.
