Saint X

West Duchovny is a rising American actress who will star as a lead opposite Alycia Debnam-Carey in “Saint X,” Hulu’s eight-part series from writer Leila Gerstein and director Dee Rees. Based on Alexis Schaitkin’s novel, “Saint X” focuses on how a young woman’s mysterious death during an idyllic Caribbean vacation creates a traumatic ripple effect that eventually pulls her surviving sister into a dangerous pursuit of the truth. Duchovny will star as ‘Alison,’ a smart and charismatic young woman who is beginning to look at her own privilege through a critical lens as she vacations with her family at a beautiful island resort. “Saint X” will be released in 2023.

Duchovny can also soon be seen starring in the Netflix limited series, “Painkiller” opposite Uzo Aduba and Matthew Broderick. Directed by Peter Berg, “Painkiller” will explore the origins of the opioid crisis with a focus on Oxycontin maker Purdue Pharma. The show is based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s New Yorker article “The Family That Built an Empire of Pain” and Barry Meier’s book “Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America’s Opioid Epidemic.”

Duchovny appeared in the independent feature “Linoleum” opposite Jim Gaffigan, which premiered at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival.

Previously, Duchovny was cast in the HBO Max pilot, “Vegas High,” and had a recurring role on the SYFY series, “The Magicians.”
