X-Files Hits the Wall
Season nine will be the final one for Fox's X-Files. "It's the ninth inning. We want to go out on top," said series creator Chris Carter. "We wanted to go out as a strong show."
Fox Entertainment Television Group chairman Sandy Grushow was told by Carter that it was time to end it at a recent meeting. Grushow was initially responsible for the decision to air the series. "It was instrumental in putting Fox on the map, plain and simple," Grushow said. "It helped define the network. It alerted the industry to the fact that we could succeed with a quality drama." Grushow said Carter's vision "inspired the best from everyone at this company, because Chris was so inspiring. He created a television series not just for our times, but for all times."
Carter hopes to get David Duchovny back for the series finale which will air in May. He also said that "This show's afterlife will be strong," indicating that the characters would continue to grow in a second movie.
