Millennium
We don't want to scare you. We want to terrify you.
Created by Chris Carter
On FOX
A dark, apocalyptic procedural that pairs serial-killer investigation with supernatural dread and millennial-anxiety conspiracy, built on the tagline's promise to terrify rather than entertain.
A retired FBI serial-profiler joins the mysterious Millennium Group, a team of underground ex-law enforcement experts dedicated to fighting against the ever-growing forces of evil and darkness in the world.
