And the new host of Masterpiece Theatre is ...

by Bob Sassone, posted Dec 11th 2007 1:02PM

Gillian Anderson... Gillian Anderson!

Yup, the X-Files star will host the new and improved version of Masterpiece Theatre when it debuts on PBS on January 13. The show is going to be split into three different versions in 2008. Anderson will host the Masterpiece Classics, which will feature new adaptations of classic novels and stories, and then, in the summer, a new host will be at the helm of Masterpiece Mystery, the new name of the Mystery! series. In the fall, we'll have Masterpiece Contemporary, which will be modern novels and stories filmed for the small screen.

Anderson is also about to start film the new X-Files movie, along with David Duchovny, Amanda Peet, and Billy Connolly.

It seems the site is a little out of date. Mention is made of who will host Masterpiece Theatre in 2008

For some reason I kept reading that as she is the new host of "Mystery Science Theater."

That's an intresting choice. I mean, I like Gillian Anderson just think I'd rather see her acting then simply introducing new Masterpiece Theatres. I watched her MP of "Bleak House" a couple years back, and liked it lot. Guess we'll have to see how it goes.
