	Season 7 of '''''The X-Files''''' premiered on November 7, 1999. As with the [[The X-Files - Season 6\|previous season]], Season 7 was filmed in Los Angeles, CA. S7 was a time of considerable tumult for the series; several major changes would occur for the show. Perhaps the largest would be the eventual departure of David Duchovny, who, following a lawsuit regarding payment on distribution of the show, announced his desire to leave the series. His suit would be settled by FOX, and the seventh season would be his last as a full-time main character; he would appear only intermittently for the remainder of the series' run. This news, along with somewhat declining ratings and increasingly more mixed reviews contributed to many in the cast and crew feeling this would possibly be the last season of the show. Towards the season's end, however, some in the crew regained hope about continuing to work, and, at the last minute, FOX renewed the show for an [[The X-Files - Season 8\|eighth season]].

His suit would be settled by FOX, and the seventh season would be his last as a full-time main character; he would appear only intermittently for the remainder of the original series' run. This news, along with somewhat declining ratings and increasingly more mixed reviews contributed to many in the cast and crew feeling this would possibly be the last season of the show. Towards the season's end, however, some in the crew regained hope about continuing to work, and, at the last minute, FOX renewed the show for an [[The X-Files - Season 8\|eighth season]].

	Since it was possible that Season 7 of ''The X-Files'' would be the final season, several elements of closure were brought to the series. In terms of the show's overarching mythology, S7 would provide the ultimate truth regarding the disappearance of Mulder's abducted sister Samantha (which had been the central component of Mulder's 'drive' in the series), as well as a season finale that, to function as a possible series finale, brought back elements from the show's Pilot episode, and would have drastic shifts in the mythology (which would be furthered in later seasons). Also of note would be the episode "Millennium", a semi-crossover in which Chris Carter hoped to also bring closure to the recently cancelled [[Millennium\|series of the same name]]. As for the non-mythology 'Monster of the Week' episodes, the thought of Season 7 being the last motivated a sense of experimentation which manifested in several instances, such as "X-Cops" (the fictional crossover with the reality police series ''COPS'') and "Hungry", which tackled new ground in terms of filming and storytelling for the show. Members of the cast contributed in Season 7 as well - Duchovny would write and direct his second episode "Hollywood A.D.", while co-star Gillian Anderson would likewise write and direct her own episode "all things", which would be both her only writing and only directing credit in the show. [[William B. Davis]], who played 'The Cigarette-Smoking Man', would also write his first (and only) episode for the series in Season 7, "En Ami".
