Title
Creator Scott Peters has stated that the series was originally titled "A Light in the Sky", but looking for something more unique he decided to "play around with numbers" instead and arrived at "4400" because it "just sounded cool" and "was a very round number with two 4s and two 0s". Perhaps coincidentally there were also around 4400 working members of the Writers Guild of America West at the time of the series' creation, a guild of which Peters was a member.
