Carter says he's "happy not to think about it for a little bit" following Wednesday's Season 11 finale. "I honestly don’t know right now," he says. "There’s so much that’s up in the air right now with Fox’s sale to Disney, and with Gillian (Anderson)’s announcement — which I respect — and with more X-Files stories to be told…right now it’s anyone’s guess." He adds: "I know there’s more life in this show, whether it’s — they’re doing a really interesting X-Files narrative game right now — while it would never be the same without Gillian, as I was saying I do think there are more stories to be told. If this was the last episode, would I be happy? I don’t know. There are so many questions that this begs now. I’m standing with them on the end of that pier and thinking about the impossibility of it and the impossibility of not knowing what the future holds for them."
