“The X-Files” Reportedly Plotting a Return from Producer Ryan Coogler
It’s been five years since “The X-Files” wrapped up its two revival seasons, with a planned animated series scrapped earlier this year. So what’s next from the world of “The X-Files”?
According to a new report from Bloomberg this week, Ryan Coogler (Black Panther) is still attached to produce a brand new version of “The X-Files,” which franchise creator Chris Carter had first teased earlier this year. The site reports, “Disney is developing a new version of The X-Files that would be produced by Ryan Coogler, the director of Black Panther and Creed.”
Carter had previously teased the new series would feature “a diverse cast.”
Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons from September 1993 to May 2002, with tenth and eleventh seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. In total, 218 episodes were made.
Additionally, the universe of “The X-Files” was expanded upon with two feature films: The X-Files: Fight the Future in 1998 and later The X-Files: I Want to Believe in 2008.
The planned animated spinoff series that was officially axed earlier this year was titled “The X-Files: Albuquerque,” which was said to be a comedy centered on new characters.
Despite her character, Mia, dying in season one of “Dexter: Resurrection“, Deadline reports that Krysten Ritter will return for season two.
No word at this time on who Ritter will play in the upcoming season, including whether or not this means the series may resurrect her serial killer character also known as Lady Vengeance.
It is a series that has brought characters back from the dead before, after all. And that’s if Mia died at all; even Ritter has teased not to count her character out yet.
Ritter joins the previously announced Uma Thurman, who reprises her character Charley in season two.
The new season finds Dexter Morgan caught between two killers — one notorious and the other terrorizing New York in ways no one ever anticipated — all while battling his greatest enemy yet: a mid-life crisis. Harrison continues his own pursuit of justice as father and son face their darkest chapter.
Michael C. Hall will be back as Dexter Morgan in the upcoming “Dexter: Resurrection” Season 2, starring alongside Uma Thurman, Jack Alcott, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, Kadia Sarif, Dominic Fumusa, Desmond Harrington, and James Remar.
They’ll be joined by series newcomers Dan Stevens as The Five Borough Killer, Bokeem Woodbine as NYPD Homicide Captain Mixon, Nona Parker Johnson as Harrison Morgan’s new love interest Fiona Mixon, and Brian Cox as The New York Ripper.
You can stream the first season on Paramount+ now. Daniel Kurland wrote here on Bloody Disgusting last year, “Somehow, against all odds, Dexter: Resurrection is good. Really good.” He continued, “With any luck, Dexter: Resurrection’s second season will maintain this momentum and consistency, rather than going off the rails like in the past.”
