[UPDATE: A representative from FOX has reached out and told Screen Rant that Gillian Anderson “has not commented on returning as it’s premature in that she is currently filming the new event series.”] The X-Files star Gillian Anderson revealed Sunday that the upcoming 11th season of the hit sci-fi series will be her last. Fans were elated in 2016 when David Duchovny and Anderson’s FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully got back on the case for a six-part X-Files revival – a long-awaited 10th season after the show’s& ...

Nobody blinks when there’s a monster lurking around the set of The X-Files. Nine seasons, two feature films, and a six-episode revival would condition any actor or crew member to treat the paranormal as just another day at the office. But what happens when a superfan invades the production?   In season 10, writer and director Darin Morgan cast lifelong X-Files fan Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, The Big Sick) to play a guest role as the titular creature in “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster.” His first night on-set, Nanjiani recalls walking t ...

Gillian Anderson has been playing FBI Agent Dana Scully on The X-Files and its spinoffs since 1993. Even after success starring as Stella Gibson on the BBC’s The Fall, she’s found herself returning to the iconic role of the skeptical Agent Dana Scully again and again, most recently in an X-Files audio series (the second installment, Stolen Lives, is available October 3). The U.K.-based actress, author and mom of three, 49, talked to Parade from the set of the show’s 11th season, debuting in 2018. When you were making the original ... [Continua a leggere]

Monday night's Webby Awards ended with a standing ovation for the organizers of January's Women's March, who were honored with the social movement of the year award. The people behind the movement took the stage and triumphantly declared, "Women, look what we did," in keeping with the Webbys' rule that acceptance speeches can only be five words long. It was a memorable political moment that capped a show in which CNN's Van Jones urged people to reject partisan labels and come together; host Joel McHale joked about saying goodbye to "Princess Leia, HBO's Girls and American democracy ...

They play intrepid FBI special agents in Fox's The X-Files but David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson looked far from ready for action at Monday night's Webby Awards. The pair each showed off injuries they recently sustained as they attended the event in New York City with Duchovny wearing his left arm in a sling and Anderson using crutches due to a broken foot. 'This is sad,' the actor, 56, joked, according to USA Today, as he presented the actress, 48, with her Webby Award for her British TV series The Fall. The two stars are busy preparing to return to The X-Files for another limited s ... [Continua a leggere]

Fans were thrilled when it was last month revealed The X-Files would be returning for a new season, and now loyal followers of the hit '90s series have been given a glimpse of what's to come. On Monday, its stars, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, attended the Fox Upfront Presentation in New York City, ahead of their return to their iconic roles as FBI Agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, respectively. And while no official air date has been given as yet, the show is set to return during 2018's TV mid-season. 'The next chapter of The X Files, a thrilling, 10-episode second installment of t ...

Mulder and Scully may be experts at sleuthing out alien technologies — but staying healthy, not so much. X-Files stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny showed off their respective injuries at Monday night's Webby Awards in New York City. With his arm in a sling, Duchovny awarded the evening's best actress trophy to Anderson, who needed crutches to walk to the podium. "This is sad," Duchovny joked as he and Anderson embraced onstage. Before their Webbys date, the duo reunited earlier in the day at Fox's upfronts event. Anderson ditched her crutches to pose with Duchovny during Mond ... [Continua a leggere]

There are probably a handful of individuals who can make an orthopedic boot look stylish. From watching Gillian Anderson - dressed in an all-black ensemble with matching walking brace on her right foot - navigate her way through the lobby of London's Mayfair Hotel, it's apparent she's one of them. Before any words are exchanged, she points, and says, "So, I fractured my foot jumping into a swimming pool that was too shallow in Costa Rica." Finding a nearby seat, she gets settled and adds, "It could have been a lot worse." The award-winning actress, who last year was made an OBE, is promoting ... [Continua a leggere]

Great Part Gillian Anderson: It really has been a gift. And I am not sure whether, when I first jumped into it, I embraced the fact that I had such an opportunity, I think the first thing I thought was, what have I done? I just said I was going to play David Bowie. After I figured out the logistics exactly of how to do each character, I relaxed a bit and then realized that actually this can be a lot of fun. Most Fun to Play: Marilyn Monroe Probably Marilyn Monroe, because she’s so bright and lighthearted and I am not. I tend to be so serious, so it was nice to embody someone whose per ...

A full 23 years after making its debut, Chris Carter’s cultural phenomenon The X-Files returned to Fox this year with a limited six-episode series, reuniting David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson for the first time since 2008’s The X-Files: I Want To Believe feature film. In late May, with Anderson and Duchovny on opposite sides of the country—she off-Broadway in a revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, which wrapped earlier this month; he in Los Angeles having wrapped a second season of Aquarius—the two stars gathered once more by phone. In a wide-ranging d ... [Continua a leggere]

On the other end of the phone, near the end of our conversation, Gillian Anderson laughed. “Did you think that your entire interview was going to have to do with hair?” The answer was no, that had not been the plan. But the topic proved to be surprisingly insightful. Anderson has been called the Queen of TV upon multiple occasions — such as when, in 2014, she starred on three different series (“Crisis,” “The Fall” and “Hannibal”) while also turning in acclaimed work on the stage as the doomed Blanche of “A Streetcar Named Desire.&rd ...

When The X-Files ended its first run in 2002, Gillian Anderson was over it. "I needed to dig a deep ditch for anything X-Files-related to go into," she says with a big laugh. "It took a while before I could talk about the show with a sense of appreciation and wistfulness." She was 33 at the time of the original series finale and had spent the majority of her adult life playing FBI Special Agent Dr. Dana Scully, the impassive, skeptical voice of reason in the fantastical world of her onscreen foil, Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny). Throughout nine seasons, including two after Duchovny left, A ... [Continua a leggere]

I’m 20 minutes early for my interview with Gillian Anderson, which is not as good an idea as it seems. She arrives in the bar of the North London hotel just minutes after I do and raises a perfect eyebrow to find me clutching a heap of scribbled notes that say things like Money! and Killers? and Duchovny. But then Anderson’s presence, I suspect, could make almost anyone feel untidy.  Blonde, compact and minimally dressed in black and cream, she has all the cool self-possession and gravitas of Stella Gibson, the police inspector she plays in The Fall – who, as it turns o ...

Gillian Anderson has spent a lot of time with The X-Files' Special Agent Dana Scully. We're talking 23 years, 200+ episodes, two feature films, and now a six-episode event series. But there were seven years between the last film and the revival miniseries, so you can understand why Anderson forgot what she really loved about the redhead skeptic. "What I've come to appreciate of her, in light of a lot of the other tough female characters I've played—and I forgot this about her until coming back to it—is there's a lightness and a playfulness and a girlishness that I don't really hav ...
