Hulu has given a full series order to Ryan Coogler’s new version of *The X-Files* after greenlighting its pilot in February. Variety reports that Coogler wrote and directed the pilot and will remain an executive producer, while Jennifer Yale will serve as showrunner.
The series stars Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel as two new FBI agents rather than original protagonists Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. Their characters are described as “two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents” who develop an unlikely bond after being assigned to a long-closed division handling cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Plot details have not been announced. Coogler has described the project as a “new chapter” that seeks to honor the original series while finding a new approach to its world. A premiere date and episode count were not disclosed.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needs narrower attribution and removal of an unsupported inference about franchise continuity. - "Hulu has given a full series order to Ryan Coogler’s new version of *The X-Files* after greenlighting its pilot in February, Engadget reported.": Engadget says Variety reported the details about Coogler writing and directing the pilot and serving as executive producer; attributing the full set of reporting generally to Engadget could mislead on sourcing. - "suggesting it may continue the franchise’s continuity rather than completely restart it": This states the writer's inference from Coogler's comments as reporting; the source says only that Coogler's comments suggest a sequel series of some kind and not a total reboot.
