And so the recycling machine continues on its path. Disney is taking advantage of Ten/Thirteen day to announce that the Coogler/Yale The X-Files project will be more than just the pilot: it is going to series!

Ludwig Göransson confirmed as the composer for the pilot, which is good news!

No other details announced (number of episodes, when it would air). The episodes actually have to be made before any of that comes, unless Disney/Hulu wants to just release the pilot ahead of time first. 2027 would be a good guess.

As reported previously, the two-hour pilot finished shooting in June. Coogler liked it so much he was considering pushing for a feature film release. It was also announced that Coogler was moving to developing series for Netflix, so apparently he would not be further involved with the TXF series; indeed, Coogler’s five-year development deal with Disney started in 2021. Jennifer Yale will be the TXF series showrunner.

Happy 70th birthday for Chris Carter and happy 65th birthday for Fox Mulder…

Edit: this could just be a rumor, but World of Reel, that also said that Coogler’s pilot was a two-hour feature shot on 65mm film, says that both Mulder and Scully appear already in the pilot!
