Gillian Anderson has announced that season 11 of The X-Files will be her last one.

The 49-year-old actress, who has been playing Dana Scully on and off since the show debuted on Fox in 1993, told press at 2017 New York Comic Con on Sunday (October 8) that she was probably done with the character/series after the upcoming season, the second season in the revival.

“No, no, I think this will be it for me,” Gillian expressed while sitting alongside co-stars David Duchovny and Mitch Pileggi, as well as creator Chris Carter.

“Because it felt like it wasn’t over,” Gillian added about doing season eleven (via ScreenRant). “It didn’t feel like we necessarily deliver everything the fans were expecting of us last time, and so it was that.”

The X-Files is returning and the first footage from season 11 is finally here!

The trailer picks up after Mulder’s (David Duchovny) near-death experience. The footage also includes Scully (Gillian Anderson), Langly (Dean Haglund), and more. During the Comic-Con panel, series creator Chris Carter promised you’ll see more of William, the son of the the famous pairing that was given up for adoption in season 9.

The new season is set to debut sometime next year on Fox. Check out the trailer below! Are you excited for another season of The X-Files.

Gillian Anderson is speaking out after reports emerged that the The X-Files writers room will be all-male for the upcoming season of the reboot, set to air in 2018.

“And 2 out of 207 eps directed by women. I too look forward to the day when the numbers are different. #TheFutureisFemale,” Gillian, who has starred on the show since the beginning in the role of Special Agent Scully.

The ten episode order will be written by returning writers Darin Morgan, Glen Morgan, and James Wong, in addition to some new (male) faces.

This is not the first time inequality has happened behind-the-scenes at The X-Files. Gillian also revealed that she was offered half the pay as her co-star David Duchovny for the revival.

The X-Files is returning to Fox for another new season and this news is sure to get diehard fans super excited!

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny will return as Scully and Mulder for ten new episodes, set to air during the 2017-2018 season.

“Iconic characters, rich storytelling, bold creators – these are the hallmarks of great TV shows,” said Fox Broadcasting Company president David Madden. “And they are some of the reasons why The X-Files has had such a profound impact on millions of fans worldwide. Chris [Cater]‘s creativity, along with the brilliant work of David and Gillian, continue to propel this pop culture phenomenon, and we can’t wait to see what fresh mysteries Mulder and Scully uncover in this next chapter of The X-Files.”

This year’s revival season of The X-Files averaged an impressive 4.8 rating among the 18-49 demo and 13.6 million viewers, making it the number three scripted series of the year!

The 55-year-old actor and Gillian Anderson, his The X-Files co-star, graced the cover of Variety‘s recent issue, where they dished on their current relationship.

Here’s what they said about working together:

“The crucible of doing that show made monsters out of both of us. Once we got to step back, it was like, ‘Oh, wow, we really like each other. I didn’t know that was going to happen. The way we work together has changed,” David said. “Whatever rapport we have as actors, we earned. It’s nice to be able to play that without ever even feeling like you’re playing it.”

“Our relationship has definitely become a proper friendship over the last few years. I think we’re more on each other’s side. We’re more aware of the other’s needs, wants, concerns, and mindful to take those into consideration�” and just sharing more about our experiences in the moment, under the sudden realization that we’re both in this together, and wouldn’t it be nice if it were a collaboration?” Gillian added.

Gillian Anderson just revealed that when negotiations began for The X-Files revival, she was offered half the salary of her male co-star David Duchovny.

The 47-year-old actress told The Hollywood Reporter that despite closing the wage gap during the original series, she was once again offered less money than David for the revival.

Gillian opened up more about the topic with The Daily Beast saying she thinks it’s “important that [the issue] gets heard and voiced. It was shocking to me, given all the work that I had done in the past to get us to be paid fairly. I worked really hard toward that and finally got somewhere with it.”

Although she eventually took home the same amount as David she said, “It is…sad. It is sad.”

“We’re coming back to do really fresh, original material, not a victory lap – this is an opportunity to prove that the show has more life in it,” Chris said of the show’s revival.

He continued, “We’re living in a time where there’s a tremendous amount of distrust toward authority, the government, even the media. I’ve cherry-picked some of the things that are frightening to me and if even one of them comes true, it’ll be a very bad thing for America… It’s an interesting time to be shining lights into the darkness.”

The X-Files revival premieres on Sunday, January 24th at 10 P.M on Fox.
