Scully to leave X-Files as well

Posted by Hemos on from the this-is-the-end-of-the-innocense dept.

Rick Razzano writes "Canoe is reporting that Gillian Anderson says that she won't return for another season of the X-Files. She's saying that she's "spent" from doing the series.. So does this mean that the show will end, or can the show's producers find someone fill Mulder and Scully's shoes? "

  1. X-Files will Continue in movies, Carter vows. by ryder · · Score: 4
    According to today's Studio Briefing over at the IMDB: Chris Carter says that series will continue on the big screen with both Duchovny and Anderson on board.

    The original source is today's New York Post. Anyone got a link?

  2. She didn't have much of a choice by Scott · · Score: 4

    I think it was an Entertainment Weekly interview with Duchovny where he said he was leaving, and that he though Carter was going to kill the series after this season.

    Infact, in EW's fall show preview issue coverage of the X-Files, they confirm this is the last season and Mulder and Scully will do something they've never done before.

  3. They can be replaced. by blue_adept · · Score: 3

    Scully should be replaced by a gorgeous woman with telepathic abilities, and Mulder should be replaced by a more authoritarian, comandeering figure... possibly a bald ship captain.

    Also, they should change the mood of X-files to something a little brighter and more futuristic... maybe a spaceship... and swap out smoking man for an android. Now THAT would be cool. Modify the name of the show to something more funky, like "ne-X-t Generation", and voila... the show must go on.

  4. This is nothing new by Ferzerp · · Score: 3

    As I posted when the Mulder story was posted. The X-files was not to continue after next season anyway. It would be hard for them to continue on the show when there is no show to continue on.

  5. I certainly hope they cancel it by Jack+William+Bell · · Score: 3

    Considering how badly the Millenium re-launch was handled, and how easy it would have been to do it right, there is little hope that the a show as long-running as the X Files could continue without either of the stars.

    Which leaves room for something entirely new, and perhaps even as daring as the first season of Millenium...
