Gillian Anderson Again Says “The X-Files” Season 11 Will Be Her Last
With “The X-Files” returning for its eleventh season this coming Wednesday, January 3, we can’t help but wonder how many more seasons of the show we’ll be getting. Of course, that all depends on how many viewers tune in to watch the return of Mulder and Scully – then again, this may be the end for Scully, no matter the ratings.
Back in October, Gillian Anderson commented at New York Comic-Con that Season 11 would be her last, and in a new chat with TV Guide, she seems to confirm that.
“I’ve said from the beginning this is it for me,” Anderson told the outlet. “I was a bit surprised by people’s reaction to my announcement [back in October], because my understanding was that this was a single season.”
Anderson is referring to the fact that Season 10 was originally intended to be a single event season. As she told the NYCC crowd, she only agreed to star in the eleventh season because she felt Season 10 left too many fans unsatisfied. In other words, her return for Season 11 has already exceeded what her original plans were. So we really shouldn’t be surprised that Season 11 will be the last we see of Dana Scully.
Meanwhile, creator Chris Carter maintains that Season 11 isn’t a series finale.
“There are a lot more X-Files stories to tell,” he told TV Guide. “Whether we get to tell them is a question mark.”
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
