Alien: Earth creator Noah Hawley hopes the show’s new earth-bound backstory is adopted by other Alien projects going forward: "There's a surprising paucity of mythology in the seven films" Coogler's X-Files has been in the works since 2023, with the director finally turning his attention to the long-gestating project after the release of horror hit Sinners. "I've been excited about that for a long time, and I'm fired up to get back to it," Coogler told The Last Podcast on the Left . "Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really fucking scary." If anyone was (somehow) on the fence with Coogler's involvement in the project, it might assuage fears to know original creator Chris Carter has given his blessing to the show. Gillian Anderson, who played FBI agent Dana Scully alongside David Duchovny's Fox Mulder, also described Coogler as the "perfect person" for the gig. It is not yet known if either Mulder or Scully will return for the new show. Need to know what else is on the horizon? The truth is out there — in our guide to new TV shows .
