Since the show's untimely end, several of the cast members have enjoyed some degree of success elsewhere. Creator/JulianneNicholson, who played Marian, played Mike Logan's new partner on ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent.'' Creator/JohnBillingsley was Dr. Phlox on ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. Gabriel Macht starred in the live action movie of Will Eisner's ''Film/TheSpirit'', and currently stars in the Creator/USANetwork legal drama ''Series/{{Suits}}''. Most amusing of all however, is that Creator/ZacharyQuinto featured in a [[BitCharacter tiny role]] in the second episode.

''The Others'' was created by John Brancato and Michael Ferris, the writing team behind David Fincher's ''Film/TheGame''. Early on, ''Series/TheXFiles''/''Series/Millennium1996'' veterans Glen Morgan and James Wong were brought in as showrunners. On the plus side, the pair had a playful approach to fantasy and horror conventions, as well as a strong stock company of actors. On the minus side, they had a proclivity to ShootTheShaggyDog endings, and oh how ''The Others'' got one.

ParanormalInvestigation series airing on Creator/{{NBC}} in the spring of 2000. Centered on Marian Kitt, a shy college student in Boston who discovers/is discovered by a small network of psychically gifted do-gooders. She herself was able to communicate with the dead, making her a prime recruit. She and the others (pun intended) were also targets of various evil supernatural forces.

* ApopheniaPlot: This was how Warren's power-set worked -- he would stumble upon random things, force a connection between them, and then follow "the signs" to where they'd take him. Something of an {{inverted}} example considering his methods worked more often than not.
