The creators of the reboot of the cult series 'The X-Files' have revealed the first details about the characters of the upcoming project. The pilot episode is planned to be filmed in Vancouver — the city where the first seasons of the original series were created.
Where the Filming Will Take Place
The production of the pilot episode of the reboot is scheduled for May to June 2026. Filming will once again take place in Vancouver, which played an important role in the history of the original franchise.
It was there that the first five seasons of 'The X-Files' were filmed, after which production moved to Los Angeles.
What the New Plot Might Be About
According to sources, casting directors have already begun searching for actors for five key roles. The character descriptions hint at a possible storyline involving:
- a biker gang
- a missing woman
- a little girl connected to the investigation
Several characters are also described as representatives of indigenous peoples, which may suggest that the story will touch on the lives and issues of these communities.
