[Next On] Images from the First Four Episodes of AMC’s “NOS4A2”
Set to premiere June 2nd, AMC has shared with Bloody images and details for the first four episodes of their new supernatural horror series “NOS4A2,“ based on the novel by author Joe Hill. Potential spoiler warning.
Read our review of the pilot episode out of SXSW.
Set in blue-collar New England, “NOS4A2” follows the coming of age of Vic McQueen (Ashleigh Cummings), who discovers she has the power to find lost things. Her gift sets her on a collision course with Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto), a supernatural villain who abducts children in his mysterious Rolls Royce Wraith.
EW recently explained that Manx periodically rejuvenates by feeding on the lifeforces of children and transports them to a fantasy world he has created called Christmasland.
“In the journey, they become these ghoulish creatures, and Charlie Manx is fed with vitality and youth,” Quinto told the site.

Once again, potential spoiler warning.
EPISODE 101 / “The Shorter Way”: Vic McQueen, a young, blue-collar, New Englander discovers her supernatural abilities, as the immortal Charlie Manx uses his own to lure a child into his mysterious 1938 Rolls Royce Wraith.
EPISODE 102 / “The Graveyard of What Might Be”: Vic meets Maggie, a medium with more questions than answers. Charlie Manx visits Haverhill to seek The Shorter Way and finds Vic’s school Janitor, Bing, is more than eager to help.
EPISODE 103 / “The Gas Mask Man”: Vic strives to live a normal life despite Maggie’s warning. Charlie Manx puts Bing Partridge to work.
EPISODE 104 / “The House of Sleep”: Vic seeks the Wraith and learns she must trust her gift. A body surfaces in Haverhill.
Himesh Patel (Tenet, Don’t Look Up) will star opposite Danielle Deadwyler (The Woman in the Yard) in Ryan Coogler’s reboot of “The X-Files“, which has wrapped filming on the pilot.
Patel confirmed the news in a chat with The Direct, while reiterating that he and Deadwyler play new characters.
“I don’t want to say anything that’s going to get me disappeared. Needless to say, myself and Danielle Deadwyler are playing completely new characters, and we just wrapped on the pilot. If we get to do more… we’ll see where we go from there,” Patel said.
That last sentence is noteworthy, as Patel is reminding that Hulu has only ordered the pilot so far. A full series order has yet to be greenlit.
It’s a good reminder, considering that Hulu also ordered a pilot for the “Buffy: New Sunnydale” reboot that was filmed and delivered earlier this year, only for the streamer to send shockwaves when it opted not to move forward with the series.
As for “The X-Files” pilot, Sinners filmmaker Ryan Coogler writes and directs the pilot. Jennifer Yale (“The Copenhagen Test”) serves as showrunner.
Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler play two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Patel and Deadwyler previously co-starred together on “Station Eleven.”
Other actors who have signed on for guest roles include Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster, Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, and Sofia Grace Clifton.
“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, with two additional seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. 218 episodes were produced in total, along with two feature films: 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future and 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
