Subsequent series by Carter include ''[[Series/Millennium1996 Millennium]]'' (1996-1999), ''Series/HarshRealm'' (1999-2000), and ''Series/TheLoneGunmen'' (2001). In 2014, Creator/AmazonStudios aired a pilot Carter wrote for a post-apocalypse show ''The After'', though soon after ordering it to series, it was cancelled without additional shooting. Since then, Carter went on to head the 2016 Creator/{{Fox}} miniseries revival of ''Series/TheXFiles''. |

| 5 | The [[LongRunners Long-lasting status]] of ''Series/TheXFiles'' led to the eventual revelation that Carter did not have an expertly crafted plan for the series' MythArc, which remained unresolved even after the 2016 revival. It's because of his drawing out and continuous introduction of unresolved sub-plots that he became the TropeNamer for TheChrisCarterEffect. Despite being an avid writer and director for episodes of his TV shows, his only feature film directing credit goes to the poorly received ''Film/TheXFilesIWantToBelieve''. |
