“We’re looking forward to continuing this journey as executive producers and especially excited to work closely with Jennifer Yale, Simone Harris and the entire cast and crew as we bring this new chapter of The X-Files to life,” Proximity Media founder Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Ryan Coogler said in a statement. “It was also incredibly special to have our fellow Proximity co-founder Ludwig Göransson contribute the score for the pilot, making this a true collaboration across the Proximity family.” [Source: Deadline]

I'd been wondering about whether he'd get his bestie to do this, and ugh, I'm so happy he did. I really hope he stays on for the whole show because his Mandalorian score seriously elevated it for me. And I kinda like his Book of Boba Fett theme more than the actual show. 😅

Every time he says something about bringing them back my brain does an immediate wince. I really believe that when a reboot is greenlit, it's time to let the new blood take the spotlight and see how they do. I love Mulder and Scully, but I'd prefer to see them as cool cameos at this point. Thoughts?

Hey everyone! I'm u/pikkopots, founding moderator of r/XFilesHulu. Some of you may know me from r/fringe, r/SiloSeries, or r/TheMentalist. I'm an active moderator and an unapologetic fangirl. I podcast, I knit and crochet, I edit fiction for a living, and I dedicate a lot of my free time to cultivating fun and engaging fan spaces.

This is our new home for all things related to the X-Files reboot, which was recently given a full series order by Hulu. I'm excited to have you join us!

What to Post
Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions about the upcoming show, but please be mindful of the fact that this is a fan community. It will not be a place to rant about how the X-FIles property doesn't need a reboot. There are plenty of other places on the internet to do that.

Many of the guest stars in the pilot have already been announced, but additional cast member announcements will be forthcoming, for guests and recurring cast. Later, casting calls will probably go out for background opportunities (otherwise known as extras), so keep an eye out for those and keep your fellow X-Philes in the loop!

Community Vibe
I'm all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable discussing, speculating, and connecting.

Still calling it a reboot even though it seems to be a sequel, but what are you hoping to see in the new XF, especially taking into consideration how dark crime shows are formatted nowadays?

I looked at other Hulu originals, and it seems like we can maybe expect a full season to be anywhere from 8-12 episodes, though it sounds like the pilot is long, so maybe that's a two-parter? (though Fringe has a 1 hr 20 min pilot)

It'll be interesting to see if they try to incorporate any MOTW, or if they'll just stick to a single case storyline. I think I lean more toward a single case per season for now, though again, I think of Fringe, which started as MOTW but moved into all mytharc. Might be too hard to do that with shorter seasons, though.

ALL EXCEPT THE SECOND ONE OK
