American-British actress Gillian Anderson has hit out at the decision to hire an all-male writing team for "The X-Files".
The 48-year-old actress stars as FBI agent Dana Scully alongside agent Fox Mulder, played by David Duchovny, in the iconic TV series - but she's blasted the lack of female representation among the show's creative team.
In response to a story written by the Washington Post newspaper, Gillian wrote on Twitter, "And 2 out of 207 eps directed by women. I too look forward to the day when the numbers are different. #TheFutureIsFemale. (sic)"
US broadcasting network Fox confirmed "The X-Files" would be returning for an all-new season in April, with Gillian reprising her role as Dana.
The 10-episode series is poised to air sometime during the 2017/18 season.
