X Files star David Duchovny’s latest hit TV show Californication will not be scrapped off-air despite the actor enrolling himself into a rehab for sex addiction.

Ironically, actor David plays a sex-loving author in the bawdy show – if the shoe fits.

The married star checked himself into rehab last week in a bid to control his own sexual urges. 

Bosses at the series' TV network Showtime have confirmed all 12 episodes for the second season have been filmed and are scheduled to debut on schedule this September, according to the New York Post.

A spokesperson tells the newspaper plans for the third season "have yet to be decided."
