We all feared it but it was bound to happen some day, David Duchovny will be leaving the X-Files! The New York Daily Times says he will appear in the first two episodes of the season but won't return again until episode 13.?
Fox has apparently begun their quest for "Mr.?X" to Partner up with Gillian Anderson.?According to a New York Daily Times source; four among a roster of candidates include: Bruce Campbell, Lou Diamond Phillips, Robert Patrick and Hart Bochner.?
Special Agent Fox Mulder, will be seen in the first two episodes of the new season and then leave.?That will set up a storyline in which Anderson, as agent Dana Scully, will be paired with the newcomer to search for Mulder.?Mulder was abducted by aliens in the season finale.?
Under the new deal, worth a reported $20 million, Duchovny gets around $400,000 per episode with the balance going to settle the legal issues.?
It's possible that if the series survives replacing Duchovny, the producers could use the same method to replace Anderson, who also has repeatedly said she doesn't want to continue on the show.?She is contractually bound to appear on the upcoming season.
