Himesh Patel is set for a lead role in Ryan Coogler‘s “The X-Files” reboot pilot at Hulu, Variety has learned.

Patel will star alongside previously announced cast member Danielle Deadwyler in the pilot, which was formally picked up at Hulu back in February. The official logline for the show states, “Two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents (Deadwyler, Patel) form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.”
