Chris Carter Says He Won’t Do More X-Files Without Gillian Anderson

With Gillian Anderson’s exit after this season, it appears as if the current season of The X-Files will be the last. Series creator Chris Carter did a Reddit AMA and shared his thoughts on Anderson confirming that she would be done with the current, eleventh season.

“For me, the show has always been Mulder & Scully,” Carter said. “So the idea of doing the show without her isn’t something I’ve ever had to consider. Was her character given a proper goodbye? I think you will want to sit down and watch the series finale very carefully.”

Anderson and David Duchovny return on tonight’s season eleven premiere alongside Mitch Pileggi as Walter Skinner and more.
