The 4400 (pronounced "the forty-four hundred") is a science fiction
television series produced by CBS Paramount Network Television in
association with BSkyB, Renegade 83, and American Zoetrope for USA
Network in the United States and Sky One in the United Kingdom. The
show was created and written by Scott Peters and René Echevarria, and
it starred Joel Gretsch and Jacqueline McKenzie. The series ran for
four seasons from 2004 until its cancellation in 2007.In the series'
pilot episode, an enormous ball of light deposits a group of exactly
4400 people in the Cascade Range foothills near Mount Rainier,
Washington, United States. Each of the 4400 had disappeared in a beam
of white light at various times starting in 1946. None of the 4400
have aged from the time of their disappearance. Confused and
disoriented, they remember nothing between the time of their
disappearance and their return.Creator Scott Peters has stated that
the series was originally titled "A Light in the Sky", but looking for
something 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".The National Threat Assessment Command
(NTAC), a division of the Department of Homeland Security, is in
charge of dealing with the return of the 4400. Dennis Ryland is the
head of NTAC. Ryland assigns Tom Baldwin and Diana Skouris as the lead
team to investigate the 4400. In season 2, Ryland goes to Washington
and is replaced by Nina Jarvis. In Season 4 Meghan Doyle takes over as
the head of NTAC.
