He also returned to his musical roots, releasing two albums – Hell or Highwater in 2015 and Every Third Thought in 2018.
Duchovny has also reprised his role as Mulder in several X-Files revival seasons – 2016, 2018, and the most recent in 2021. In fact, he's set to return once again for another season, much to the delight of X-Files fans worldwide!
Gillian Anderson: From Scully to ST:TNG
After The X-Files, Gillian Anderson continued to impress with her versatile acting. She played Detective Stella Gibson in the critically acclaimed series The Fall (2013-2016), and the ruthless Media in the award-winning drama The Crown (2016-2017).
Anderson also made history by becoming the first woman to play a non-binary character on television in Sex Education (2019-present). And, in a delightful piece of casting, she joined the Star Trek franchise as Jean-Luc Picard's former first officer, Counselor Troi, in the series Star Trek: Picard (2020-present).
