Ten Live-Action Dramas That Deserve An Animated Spin-Off More Than The X-Files

Millennium was always looked at as a moodier and more existential version of The X-Files that never gained the same level of mainstream appeal, but there are some genuinely incredible episodes within the series. When Millennium worked, it really worked and there’s still something very powerful in the idea of a shadow organization and evil acts that are tied to the turning in the millennium. It may just be the hardcore Millennium fans that are asking for a reboot, but an animated and more light-hearted Millennium spin-off would sort of be amazing. The show could explore cases and stories that aren’t that dissimilar from The X-Files, but there’s something even more hilarious and depressing about people hunting for connections to the millennium, but two decades after it’s passed. It’d be like having a cyber crimes series that’s exclusively trying to prevent Y2K from happening. The B-Team angle can also be fulfilled, with new recruits—perhaps even devoted followers of Frank Black—who are either obsessed with the millennium or fail to see the importance of it. It may sound like blasphemy, but somehow an animated Millennium spin-off is a much better idea than one for The X-Files. Hell, even find a way to bring in the Lune Gunmen.
