Rhys Darby Set To Join The X Files Reboot

It seems Kiwi comedian Rhys Darby is set to join the cast for the new X-Files series!

Speculation arose after Darby's friend David Farrier revealed the Flight of the Conchords star is heading to Vancouver to join David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson for The X-Files shoot.

Darby has been spending time in the US this year working on Wrecked. Darby and Farrier starred together on the show Short Poppies and co-host The Cryptid Factor podcast.

No details about the role Darby may be playing have been released; fellow US comedian Joel McHale is set to be playing a serious role in the drama. The show's creator Chris Carter announced the much anticipated six-episode resurrection in March this year.
