“As for this being the end, Anderson is resolved — “This is it for me,” she said — but Duchovny isn’t ready for that conversation, pointing out that he himself left the show at one point during its original run.
Gillian said it’s been it before … I don’t know. We can make pronouncements or we could say, ‘Well, Fox might not want more.’ Who knows? I have no idea, so I’d rather not even dwell on the hypotheticals of it. I’d rather just enjoy these 10.“
“I think we were rusty,” Duchovny said of the 2016 season by phone shortly after Christmas.
“It felt like we were finding our way with it,” Anderson agreed. “It didn’t necessarily feel like what it used to be and what it could be. It didn’t feel like we were living its potential, necessarily.”
But, she said by phone from Vancouver, that unfulfilled sense of how great it could be served as motivation. “Part of my decision to come at it again one more time was to have an opportunity to do that. And certainly there’s more of an opportunity with 10 than there was with six, just because of the nature of the show and that it is so many different things, there are so many different worlds that we live in, and aspects of these characters that we get to play, and types of episodes that we do. So to have an opportunity to explore that full range through a larger arc was interesting, and with the hope and the understanding that that perhaps will create a better conclusion for ourselves and for the fans.”
I think anyone who fears Scully will be killed off at the end of season 11 can take some heart from this article. Feels like David is saying they want to walk away from season 11 knowing it’s possible to come back one day, should they all choose to.
