Season 11 Ratings
The 11th season of The X-Files averaged a 0.96 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.74 million viewers. Compared to season 10, that’s down by 70% and 61%, respectively. Find out how The X-Files stacks up against the other FOX TV shows.
FOX isn’t planning to make a 12th season of The X-Files. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
The ratings are low and Anderson has said that she won’t be back if FOX orders a 12th season. While this could change, I’m thinking there won’t be another season.
