The X-Files Recruits Carol Banker and Holly Dale to Direct in Season 11
The X-Files had a bit of a rough time in June when it was revealed that all 10 episodes for their upcoming season would be written by men. The show experienced a lot of social media backlash, and even Gillian Anderson (Agent Dana Scully on the show) criticized the decision.
Now, according to TV Line, it was announced that two episodes of the show’s eleventh season will be directed by women.
One of them is Carol Banker, who already has a history with the franchise. She was a script supervisor from 1999-2002 and was a director on The Lone Gunman.
They also recruited, Holly Dale, a very experienced director who’s worked on TV shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Timeless and Reign.
The X-Files is expected to come back on early 2018.
