Fresh off the historic awards run for his film Sinners, Coogler has been tapped to write and direct the pilot for a reboot of The X-Files at Hulu. According to Deadline, the long-rumored revival has received a pilot greenlight, signaling that this paranormal universe is officially back in development.

For the uninitiated, the original series premiered in 1993 and became one of the most defining science fiction shows of the 1990s. Created by Chris Carter, the show followed FBI agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder — played by Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny — who investigated government conspiracies, extraterrestrials, and straight-up nightmare fuel. The franchise ran for nine seasons, spawned two films, and even had a short revival in 2016.
