History

Historical Context

The X-Files premiered on Fox on September 10 1993, drawing 12 million viewers and establishing the FBI-paranormal procedural that paired a believer with a skeptic. Creator Chris Carter’s blend of conspiracy, sci-fi and crime set a template later copied by streaming platforms. Hulu’s 2024 thriller “Furious,” by Elizabeth Meriwether and starring Emmy Rossum, follows that same procedural-conspiracy formula.
