Millennium is an American thriller-horror-drama television series, created by Chris Carter after the success of his previous television series, The X-Files.
Millennium aired on the Fox Network in the United States for three seasons, from 25 October 1996 to 21 May 1999. Each season of the series had its own distinct style and unique elements as a result of the regularly shifting executive producers who supervised its creative process. The series was filmed in Vancouver, though most episodes were set in or around Seattle.
The story arc is set during the years leading up to the year 2000, and follows an ex-FBI Special agent, Frank Black, who is a freelance forensic profiler with a unique ability to see the world through the eyes of serial killers and murderers (though he is not considered to be psychic). Black investigates serial murders, often with supernatural overtones. These seem to be connected to the sinister "Millennium Group", which prophesies an oncoming apocalypse.
