With Gillian Anderson announcing earlier this year that the recently-concluded eleventh season of “The X-Files” would be her last, we couldn’t help but wonder if the series would be continuing without her. In different interviews, creator Chris Carter had offered up different thoughts on the matter – in one, he noted that he’s done with the show if Anderson truly is, while in another he expressed that her departure could simply mean a new beginning for the show. So what’s the latest on all that, you ask?
Via TV Line, Fox co-chairman and CEO Gary Newman revealed during a conference call with reporters this morning that “The X-Files,” at least for now, is over…
“There are no plans to do another season at the moment,” Newman told reporters.
With Anderson doubling down on her promise of being done with the series, this could certainly mean the end of “The X-Files” altogether.
And Season 11’s ratings could have been the final nail…
Well Michael, the truth is…after exit of 77% of viewership. https://t.co/WyaHQnR3gt
