Titolo: X-Files chiude i battenti con la nona stagione

Annunciato questa notte dalla Fox e da Chris Carter:
Fox to close ``X-Files'' in May
By Josef Adalian
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Trust this one: the Emmy-winning sci-fi
powerhouse
``The X-Files (news
- Y! TV)'' will wrap its nine-season run on Fox in May.
Series creator Chris Carter and Fox confirmed the decision Wednesday
following a meeting in which
Carter told Fox Entertainment Television Group chairman Sandy Grushow
and
entertainment president
Gail Berman he was ready to end the series.
``The X-Files'' has been a signature series for Fox -- and a cash cow
for
parent News Corp. -- since
its September 1993 premiere. It continues to pull in profits in
syndication,
where it's ranked as the
top-rated off-network hour since bowing in syndication in 1997. Its
network
run will end with a
two-part episode penned by Carter -- the show's 201st.
While the series remains a solid performer, particularly
demographically,
its ratings have declined this
season opposite tougher competition and in the wake of cast changes.
Carter
wanted ``The X-Files'' to
end while it still had creative and commercial strength.
``It's the ninth inning. We want to go out on top,'' he said. ``We
wanted to
go out as a strong show.''
Bowing on Friday nights, ``The X-Files'' was an instant cult hit as
fans
tuned in for the ever-spooky
adventures of Agents Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian
Anderson).
Ratings soared still
higher when Fox moved the show to Sundays in 1996.
Carter singled out recent additions Robert Patrick and Annabeth Gish
for
praise, saying their work
``will stand up to the best of 'The X-Files.''' Patrick replaced
Duchovny,
who exited last season.
Grushow, who put ``The X-Files'' on the network in his former post as
entertainment president, said
it's impossible to overstate the positive impact the drama has had on
Fox.
``It was instrumental in putting Fox on the map, plain and simple,''
he
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 said despite numerous cast changes and the natural aging
process,
``The X-Files'' had managed
to maintain its distinctiveness.
``I'd like to think the show is still one of the most imaginative on
television,'' he said. ``It never quit
being original.''
Though he's been mulling the finale for years, Carter hasn't yet
started
putting it together. He did
promise, once and for all, to tie up all the show's mythological loose
ends.
Carter said he'd ``love'' to have Duchovny return for the finale,
which may
be preceded by a clipfest.
Characters are expected to develop in a second ``X-Files'' feature in
the
works at Fox.
``This show's afterlife will be strong,'' Carter said.
