Fox will close 'Files' in May.(The X-Files will end its nine-season run in May)(Brief Article)
Trust this one: Chris Carter's Emmy-winning sci-fi powerhouse "The X-Files" will wrap its nine-season run on Fox in May.
Carter and Fox confirmed the decision Wednesday following a meeting in which Carter told Fox Entertainment Television Group chairman Sandy Grushow and entertainment prexy Gail Berman he was ready to end the series.
Skein has been a signature series for Fox -- and a cash cow for parent News Corp. -- since its September 1993 premiere. It continues to pull in profits in syndication, where it's ranked as the top-rated off-net hour since bowing in syndication in 1997.
"X" will end with a two-part episode penned by Carter -- the show's 201st.
While the series remains a solid performer, particularly demographically, its ratings have declined this season opposite tougher competish and in the wake of cast changes. Carter wanted "X" to end while it still had creative and commercial strength.
"It's the ninth inning. We want to go out on top," he said. "We wanted to go out as a strong show."
Grushow, who put "X" on the network in his former post as entertainment prexy, said it's impossible to overstate the positive impact "X" has had on Fox.
