Those who watched the show casually probably think the opposite since numerous characters are killed off throughout the series. But die-hard fans will know that being killed off means absolutely nothing in The X-Files. The show is notorious for bringing back dead characters. Why? Because it’s all part of a huge conspiracy! The death was a coverup! They were actually abducted, and a body-double was used to fake their death!

The fact that no one dies was so well known on set that when an actor was given the final script for their character, producer Chris Carter would always attach a post-it note that said: “nobody dies in The X-Files.”
