Chris Carter is Hungry to Bring “Millennium” Back
Anything is possible on the small screen these days, as evidenced by shows like “Full House,” “24” and “The X-Files” being brought back in recent years. The latter series was created by Chris Carter, who was also the man responsible for Fox’s “Millennium.”
The series ran for three seasons beginning in 1996, starring Lance Henriksen as ex-FBI agent Frank Black, who has the ability to see inside the minds of criminals. Fox cancelled the series in 1999, though Henriksen brought Frank Black back to the small screen in a subsequent episode of “The X-Files.”
Henriksen has long been rallying fans to beg Fox for either another season or a feature film, and it seems Carter is as keen on a continuation as the actor is.
“I think Millennium would be a show that would have more life in it but no one’s ever spoken seriously to me about that,” Carter told Deadline over the weekend. “I always feel that there are more of those stories to tell as well. After three seasons, we pulled the plug on that show but the ratings were still very good so I think that there is a new approach to that show building on the solid foundation that was already there.”
How bout it? Would you like to see the return of “Millennium”?
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
