Today is Chris Carter’s 70th birthday, but it is the fans of The X-Files who are the ones getting the present. Hulu announced today that the Sci-Fi mystery is returning under the helm of Ryan Cooger with new leads, Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel.
The reimagining “follows two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.”
“I’ve loved ‘The X-Files’ for a long time, so getting the chance to write and direct the pilot has meant a great deal to me,” said Coogler. “What Chris Carter created is special, and we wanted to honor everything that made the original series connect with so many people while also finding our own way into that world. Danielle and Himesh, along with the rest of our cast, have brought such original perspectives and performances to these characters, and watching that come together has been one of the most rewarding parts of the experience. I couldn’t have asked for better collaborators than my crew, colleagues at Proximity Media and our partners at Onyx Collective and 20th Television. I’m grateful for the trust and support they’ve given us as we take on this new chapter.”
Are you going to watch? I will wait until we know more because I am such a fan of the original.
Oh, and by the way, the Buffy reimagination must have been really bad if even Hulu did not pick it up and they chose this instead.
Fox has raised Baywatch from its underwater graveyard, and the sequel is set to premiere in January. Today, the network released the first trailer for the series. And yes, the lifeguards run in slow motion in their red bathing suits.
The new Baywatch finds wild-child legacy character Hobie Buchannon (Stephen Amell) serving as a Baywatch Captain, following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Mitch. Hobie’s world is turned upside down when his daughter, Charlie Vale (Jessica Belkin), shows up on his doorstep eager to carry on the Buchannon family legacy.
So are you going to go for a swim with Hobie and his team?
The Super Bowl is going to air on ABC in 2027. After the game, one of the broadcast shows gets a special screening. This year’s show is…High Potential. It is the network’s #1 series, so it makes sense.
ABC has not announced when the police procedural starring Kaitlin Olson, a single mom with an extraordinary memory who consults on cases, will return for its third season. So it will be interesting to see if this will be the series premiere or if it will return the first week in January along with The Rookie.
The last time the football game aired on ABC was 2006. Do you know which show got the coveted timeslot? Grey’s Anatomy, when it was just in its infancy. That explosive (literally) defined the success of the medical drama. Will it do the same for this one?
We will find out when the Super Bowl LXI is played on Valentine’s Day.
Before Katherine Heigl was taking showers with men on Grey’s Anatomy, she was taking baths with girls using Petite Naté. How cute was the 11-year-old in that 1990 commercial?
