The Others was an American TV series created by John Brancato and Michael Ferris, and produced by Delusional Films, NBC and DreamWorks Television. It ran for 13 60-minute episodes from February 5, 2000 to June 10, 2000, airing on NBC in the US and Five in the UK. It concerned a group of people with various psychic talents as they encountered different, and often evil, paranormal forces. Essentially an ensemble show, primary focus was on student Marian Kitt as she came to terms with her - frequently unwanted - abilities. Although the series gradually built up an overall storyline of a strong evil power targetting the group, its cancellation meant that this was never properly resolved.
Famed horror director Tobe Hooper directed one episode, Souls On Board, and the series' writers included Glen Morgan and James Wong (also executive producers, with Brancato and Ferris), who had previously written for shows including The X Files and Millennium and created, produced and written for Space: Above and Beyond. Morgan's wife Kristen Cloke played the significant role of Allison/The Woman in the episodes The Ones That Lie in Wait and Life is For the Living.
The principal cast comprised:
- Julianne Nicholson as Marian Kitt
- Gabriel Macht as Mark Gabriel
- Missy Crider as Ellen "Satori" Pawlowski (credited as 'Melissa Crider')
- Bill Cobbs as Elmer Greentree
- John Billingsley as Professor Miles Ballard
