THE 4400
A USA
NETWORK ORIGINAL SERIES
RETURNS FOR SEASON THREE
ON SUNDAY, JUNE 11 AT 9:00PM ET/PT
THE 4400,
the critically-acclaimed series that
chronicles the reappearance of 4400 people
previously reported missing or dead, returns
for a third season on Sunday, June 11
as a two-hour special from 9:00-11:00 PM
ET/PT on USA Network, and then will air
as weekly one-hour episodes at 9:00pm ET/PT
starting Sunday, June 18.
THE 4400
premiered as a limited series on July 11,
2004 on USA Network as the highest-rated and
most-watched new series premiere ever on a
basic cable network. Last summer, the show
ranked as the #1 original scripted series on
cable in P18-49, beating every other cable
network’s new series launches. THE 4400
received three Emmy nominations in its first
season, including Outstanding Miniseries, as
well as Outstanding Writing and
Cinematography for a Miniseries or Movie.
Before the much-anticipated
third season launch, fans and newcomers have
two opportunities to familiarize themselves
with the show or to finally see what they’ve
been missing out on! In a first for a cable
network, on Sunday, June 4 USA will air
THE 4400 Special: Unlocking the Secrets
from 10:00pm-11:00pm ET/PT - a powerful
one-hour clip special reintroducing the past
events of the show to prepare fans for the
third season. Earlier in the day, audiences
can tune in to THE 4400 Marathon: The
Essential Episodes from 9:00am-10:00pm
ET/PT.
THE
4400
stars Billy Campbell (“Once and Again”) as
Jordan Collier,
Joel Gretsch (“Taken”) as Tom Baldwin,
Jacqueline McKenzie (“Divine
Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood”)
as Diana Skouris, Patrick Flueger (“The
Princess Diaries”)
as Shawn Farrell, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali
(“Crossing Jordan”) as Richard Tyler,
Conchita Campbell (“Scary Movie 4”) as Maia
Rutledge and Samantha Ferris (“The L Word”)
as NTAC Director Nina Jarvis.
In addition to the return of the
original cast, Karina Lombard (“The L Word”)
joins as a series regular playing Alana
Mareva. Megalyn Echikunwoke (“That ’70s
Show,” “Supernatural”) joins the cast as the
newly grown-up Isabelle. Peter Coyote
(“Commander in Chief”) returns as Dennis
Ryland in the season opener.
The third season
sparks a new beginning
for the 4400 people who, over
a span of years, mysteriously disappeared -
only to be returned to Earth all together in
a ball of light. Though the returnees had
not aged physically, many of them reappeared
with dramatic abilities ranging from
enhanced reflexes to precognition. NTAC
(National Threat Assessment Command) is the
government agency responsible for keeping
track of the returnees and investigating all
things related to the 4400.
The premiere picks up
mere seconds after we last
saw a year-old baby, Isabelle, become a
beautiful twenty-year old woman. Her
father, Richard, is forced to deal with his
daughter’s sudden transformation – and an
even more surprising change in her wife,
Lily. Meanwhile, Tom and Diana pursue a
radical 4400 organization called the Nova
Group that has launched attacks against
Dennis Ryland and the other bureaucrats that
they perceive as threats.
THE 4400
was created by Scott Peters
and Rene Echevarria. Ira Steven Behr, Scott
Peters,
Maira Suro and Perry Simon
are executive producers. THE 4400 is
produced by CBS Paramount Network Television
in Association with Sky Television, Renegade
83 and American Zoetrope for USA Network.
