14	* '''''Series/TheXFiles''''' (1993-2002, [[{{Revival}} 2016-2018]]) - The one that started it all. Initially centering on the investigations of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder (Creator/DavidDuchovny) and Special Agent Dana Scully (Creator/GillianAnderson) before the cast expanded and Duchovny left. Probably TropeCodifier of the paranormal genre in that it balanced sci-fi subjects like aliens and mad science experiments with more traditionally supernatural threats like vampires and werewolves with the occasional {{mundanger}} episode.
15	* ''Series/StrangeLuck'' (1995-1996) - Follows the character of [[MeaningfulName Chance]] Harper (Creator/DBSweeney) a news photographer who tends to have preternaturally bad and good luck in the same episode. Not created by Carter, but generally thought to be part of TheVerse due to Harper's trying and failing to contact Fox Mulder in the episode "Brothers Grim".
16	* ''Series/Millennium1996'' (1996-1999) - TheProfiler Frank Black (Creator/LanceHenriksen) works with [[spoiler: and later against]] the mysterious title group while trying to defend his wife Catherine (Megan Gallagher) and daughter Jordan (Brittany Tiplady). Gradually revealed to be part of the same universe as ''The X-Files'' through shared characters, although the episode "Human Essence" also featured sound footage from someone watching ''The X-Files''.
17	* ''Series/TheLoneGunmen'' (2001) - A direct spin-off of the original show starring Mulder's geeky tech/conspiracy consultants. With almost no paranormal plot elements it falls more into the comedy-thriller genre.

19	[[note]]Despite being created and produced by Carter, ''Series/HarshRealm'' is not considered part of the same universe due to its being a [[InNameOnly very loose]] adaptation of a comic book and lacking any crossover characters.[[/note]]
