Gillian Anderson kills with TV takeover

1 min read
If there is ever such a thing as too much Gillian Anderson, this might be the year for it.

"People are going to get so sick of me," says Anderson, 46, who has lined up four series: Hannibal, The X-Files, Season 3 of BBC's The Fall, and BBC's War and Peace miniseries.

"It's a great time. I'm very fortunate to have the range of stuff available to me right now," she adds. "It's nice to be able to work out how to fit as much of it in as possible, and still have a life and be an active mother to three children."

Anderson knows a thing or two about complex partnerships, having played the skeptical FBI agent Dana Scully to David Duchovny's more credulous Fox Mulder for nine seasons on The X-Files. The supernatural crime show, which ended in 2002 and inspired two film sequels, will be revived as a six-episode "event series" next year — an idea that initially didn't excite Anderson.

"I do enough television as it is, and it wasn't of interest to me," she says. "But the more that David and (creator Chris Carter) talked to me about how much fun it would be, (that) there hadn't been closure before, and it was unlikely there would ever be another feature, they won me over."
