Some people will want to know about the upcoming six-episode reboot of The X-Files, which she’s finishing filming for Fox; others will want to grill her about the meaning of the final episode of Hannibal, which aired last week; a third group will be wondering what’s ahead in Season 3 of The Fall, the dark crime drama on Netflix that goes back into production this autumn.
"There is a lot happening in my life, isn’t there?", she says on a short break from shooting The X-Files." But I can usually guess what show people are devoted to when they walk
up to the table to see me. I mean, apart from the dead giveaways like
the Scully fridge magnets, the Bedelia T-shirts or the Stella bumper
stickers."
"Different people like different shows and you can see it in their eyes. I find it fascinating and a bit exciting."
About "The X Files":
"I still don’t know just why it became such a huge success. I think it was the perfect time for it politically. If it had
started in the Bush administration well, I don’t think we could have
gotten away with a lot of what we did."
About "The Fall":
"I knew this one was difficult but good from the start. On the very
first day, I knew what we were getting was pretty cool. The only
question was whether or not the audience would get it as well. But they
seem to have and that’s very gratifying."
