Gillian Anderson is quitting 'The X-Files'
London: Actor Gillian Anderson has confirmed that she would exit "The X-Files" after season 11.
The actor, who plays agent Dana Scully in the show, made the announcement in an interview with TV Insider.
"I've said from the beginning this is it for me. I was a bit surprised by people's (shocked) reaction to my announcement... because my understanding was that this was a single season," Anderson said.
Back in October, the 49-year-old actor suggested that the season would be her last, though a statement from FOX at the time seemed to shoot down any official departure, stating Anderson "has not commented on returning as it's premature in that she is currently filming the new event series."
Debuting in 1993 on FOX, the long-running sci-fi series is set to return for season 11 on tomorrow on FOX.

Neeraj Chopra wins Golden Spike meet
Ostrava (Czech Republic), Jun 24 (PTI): Indian javelin throw superstar Neeraj Chopra on Tuesday clinched the title at the Golden Spike meet in his maiden appearance here, his back-to-back win in a top-class competition.
Fresh from his Paris Diamond League win on June 20, Chopra emerged on top in a nine-man field here though with a modest effort of 85.29m in the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event.
He had skipped the last two editions of Golden Spike -- an event that his coach Jan Zelezny won nine times in a storied career -- due to fitness issues.
The 27-year-old Chopra has had an impressive season so far, having won his first Diamond League title in two years in Paris after also breaching the elusive 90m mark during his second place finish in Doha DL in May.
