Millennium (TV Series)

Millennium (TV series)

Millennium is an American television series created by Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files, that aired on the Fox Network between 1996 and 1999. There was also a crossover episode of The X-Files titled Millennium (season 7 episode 4) that featured the Millennium group and Frank Black. It served as a sort of conclusion to the series. The series was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, though most episodes were ostensibly set in or around Seattle, Washington. Theme music for the show was composed by Mark Snow, who also created the distinctive theme music for The X-Files.

The series takes place during the years leading up to 2000, and follows the investigations of ex-FBI agent Frank Black (Lance Henriksen), a law enforcement consultant with the ability to see inside the mind of criminals, working for a mysterious organization known as the Millennium Group.

Although the series premiered with impressive ratings, viewership declined throughout its three-season run, and it was finally canceled by Fox in early 1999.

It has been announced that the publishing house Fourth Horseman Press will be releasing a book about Millennium in 2012, with Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz, Lance Henriksen, Brittany Tiplady and John Kenneth Muir among the book's writers.
