The actress had already anticipated her departure at the time of the Comic-Con in New York last October.
Gillian Anderson, co-star of the series X-Files with David Duchovny, will leave the series after the broadcast of season 11 in the coming weeks. In an interview with TV Guide in December 2017, the actress said: "I said from the beginning that [this season] would be the end for me."
Her position on this subject at New York Comic-Con had already created astonishment when she mentioned the idea that these ten upcoming episodes would be her farewell to the series. "I was quite surprised by people's shocked reactions because I understood that this was a unique season," she told TV Guide.
Although Fox has yet to confirm the production of a season 12, the creator of the series, Chris Carter, clarifies that he did not write the last episode as a final episode for the series . For him, the series still has many stories to tell: the question is whether they can ever be put on the small screen.
Season 11 of X-Files made its comeback in the United States on January 3 and should be broadcast on M6 in the coming weeks.
