The behind-the-scenes world of creating TV shows can occasionally be merciless, and plenty of people who later got famous may have initially had a rough start in tinseltown. Michael Bublé recently revealed a hilarious story.

A couple months ago, Gillian Anderson announced her official retirement from the series that made her famous. She said she's never returning to The X-Files again after this short season 11 run. The actress also stated that her departure from Dana Scully has nothing to do with money but is more about getting away from the decades old franchise and trying to branch out into more movie and television roles. Fans are undoubtedly disappointed as this latest batch of episodes has brought us back to the X-Files we used to know and love. Unlike season 10, the non-mythology episodes have been getting rave reviews.

Gillian Anderson has had her fill of the truth. The X-Files icon is confirming that the series’ forthcoming 11th season will indeed mark her swan song as Dana Scully. “I’ve said from the beginning this is it for me,” Anderson maintains in a new interview with TV Guide magazine.

At title level, The X-Files promises spooky adventure with paranoid hi-jinks. But Fox Entertainment chairman David Madden just made another promise about the show: there will only be two “mythology” episodes in the upcoming Season 11 -- the premiere and the finale. “Eight of the episodes will be standalone stories so they will be classic ‘Mulder and Scully plunging into new adventures’” said Madden, according to Entertainment Weekly,

Well it’s about damn time! No list of horror/fantasy/sci-fi heroines can possibly be complete without Dana Scully, the yin to Fox Mulder’s yang on “The X-Files.” The iconic small screen character was of course played by Gillian Anderson, who we’re happy to report will finally be getting a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2018! Anderson, who also played a memorable role on NBC’s gone-too-soon “Hannibal,” was announced by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce tonight...

John Vulich, who won three Emmys for special effects makeup for “The X-Files,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and “Babylon 5” with his team at Optic Nerve Studios, and created makeup effects for numerous horror films, died in his sleep Wednesday morning in Los Angeles. He was 55. One of the first films he worked on was George A. Romero’s 1985 “Day of the Dead,” for which he created the zombie “Bub.” Raised in Fresno, Calif., he got his start in the business working for makeup pros such as Greg Cannom and Tom Savini.

Hollywood, California, 1992. Mark Snow was in his garage studio tinkering with some ideas. He was already a pro at TV scores—dramas, procedurals, comedies—when a producer recommended him to Chris Carter, a veteran of Disney TV movies who needed music for his new TV pilot, an unlikely paranormal procedural called The X Files. As he sat at his keyboard one day, stumped in his search for the right theme music...

With Fox no longer reporting fast nationals, we won’t have time zone-adjusted numbers for the premiere of The X-Files following the NFC Championship Game until tomorrow (see ratings for the game here.). The partial data available is encouraging — the 10:30-11 PM portion of the show drew a 5.1 in adults 18-49, according to the fast nationals that don’t reflect the live nature of the telecast, which aired from 10:24-11:24 PM on the East Coast but 7:24-8:24 PM in the West.

The X-Files was a tour of the American subconscious and the most idealistic show of its time. Next month, Mulder and Scully return to our screens – but how will their ambiguous stories work today? By Andrew Harrison.

VICE meets up with Joe Nickell, a longtime paranormal investigator who’s been called the real-life Scully. We travel with him to Roswell, NM on the anniversary of the 1947 UFO Crash to talk to believers, skeptics and UFO witnesses alike to see if the truth is really out there.

Here’s a fun Halloween trick: Mention the Peacock family to an unsuspecting “X-Files” fan and enjoy the reaction. It’s likely to be some combination of a shudder, a squeal and a groan, a mix of delight and revulsion. (A reporter’s wife: “Please, God, not at the dinner table.”) The Peacocks are at the center of “Home,” an “X-Files” episode that originally aired in October 1996. Viewers complained that the tale about the murderous inbred clan was too disturbing...

Damn right, they're exactly the same as they were in 1993! The world premiere of The X-Files' first new episode — which will air on January 24, 2016 — screened on Tuesday night at the Mipcom. According to THR, the audience warmly received the episode and "whooped and cheered as the closing credits rolled." But what also debuted were the opening credits to the new series, which were the same credits that aired when the show debuted in 1993.

Mulder and Scully are returning in THE X-FILES this JANUARY 24, 2016! Thirteen years after the original series run, the next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES will be a thrilling, six-episode event series helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter, with stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson re-inhabiting their roles as iconic FBI Agents FOX MULDER and DANA SCULLY.
