The X-Files reboot on Hulu has announced that Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, and Ben Foster have signed on for guest starring roles on the new show. They join previously announced guest stars like Devery Jacobs (Reservation Dogs), Lochlyn Munro (Totally Killer), Tantoo Cardinal (Dances with Wolves), Joel D. Montgrand (True Detective), and Sofia Grace Clifton (The Keys to Life).

Madigan is fresh off her Academy Award winning performance as Aunt Gladys in Weapons, Buscemi is celebrated for his work in Fargo and Boardwalk Empire, and Foster has had memorable performances in Days of Night and Hell or High Water.

The series will star Himesh Patel (Tenet) and Danielle Deadwyler (The Woman in the Yard) as successful FBI agents who are reassigned to work in the long-closed X-Files division. Despite their obvious differences, the two agents bond while investigating unexplained phenomena in strange cases.

Ryan Coogler, who just won an Oscar for the Sinners screenplay, is writing and directing The X-Files. Jennifer Yale, an executive producer on See and showrunner of The Copenhagen Test, is the showrunner on the new series. Coogler and Yale are executive producers alongside The X-Files creator Chris Carter.

The original X-Files debuted in September 1993, putting otherworldly and supernatural concepts into a police procedural format. The science fiction drama starred David Duchovny as FBI Agent Fox Mulder, who believed in any and all fantastical possibilities, and Gillian Anderson as FBI Agent Dana Scully, the skeptic who looked for the logical answers in strange situations. Their will-they-won’t-they chemistry and the show’s method of taking a realistic approach to science fiction concepts made The X-Files a huge hit.

The original series ran for nine seasons through 2002, also starring Mitch Pileggi, Robert Patrick, Annabeth Gish, and William B. Davis. Duchovny and Anderson returned for a two-season reboot that aired in 2016 and 2018.

The X-Files branched out into a novel series based on the show and comic book series and specials. The first comic title, The X-Files Comics Digest, arrived in 1995 from Topps Comics, followed by their 45-issue ongoing series. IDW picked up the license in 2013, with an ongoing series that ran for 25 issues, in addition to multiple one-shots and limited series.
