Is Gillian Anderson saying goodbye to The X-Files? TVLine reports season 11 will be the last for the FOX series star.
Anderson plays Dana Scully on the hit sci-fi drama alongside fellow co-stars David Duchovny, Mitch Pileggi, William B. Davis, Annabeth Gish, Bruce Harwood, Tom Braidwood, and Dean Haglund.
Speaking to TV Guide, Anderson revealed why she is leaving after the upcoming season of The X-Files:
I’ve said from the beginning this is it for me. … I was a bit surprised by people’s [shocked] reaction to my announcement because my understanding was that this was a single season.”
It’s unclear if season 11 will be the last for The X-Files as well. FOX has yet to renew the series, but the new season premieres tomorrow, January 3rd, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think? Are you an X-Files fan? Would you watch without Anderson?
Wow! A real shocker. Not too sure about the follow up. I guess I’ll have to see the 11th season to decide, but I’m coming at this backwards… Mulder and Scully are such an item, the essential part, the foundation of the series.Still, I’ll give it a chance, there is so much left to be covered, now more than ever.
I watch the show without Gillian. But I think the show would lose a lot of its original personality which was the combined chemistry of Scully and Mulder. This franchise would have to be very creative to come up with her substitute ‘cuz she and her history in the storylines are irreplaceable.
Well if Gillian Anderson isn’t coming back, that’s it for me, too
Yea, That’s it for me too.
