Scott Peters , creator of the lovably bizarre mutant saga 4400 , has just announced the show will be call off after 4 seasons and a trippy cliffhanger . In this clip , you see the show at its best , making fun of its own gooftastic premise , which is that there are 4400 people in the world who time - move to the future , got mutant powers , and came back to preserve the planet .
The 4400 ’s crack squad of mutant - wranglers are watch a movie made by a 4400 make Curtis with the best mutant power ever : he uncovers conspiracies by write B - movies . Here he pitches his latest , The Marked , which tell the ( reliable ) tarradiddle of how future dudes who do n’t wish the 4400 have also traveled back in time to stop the 4400 from salvage the world . Yes , everything had catch really complicated and tangled by the fourth time of year , but it had also gotten psychotically rad .
Jeffrey Combs , star of Re - Animator and TV ham actor extraordinaire , played a mad scientist who forge promicin , a beam green drug that could make anybody into a superpowered 4400 mutant . ( His mind - controlling girlfriend was make for by Summer Glau , from Firefly and soon to be in the Sarah Connor Chronicles ) . Meanwhile , a very Scientology - esque religious loss leader from the 4400 had taken over Seattle and was making everyone take promicin to land on the mutantastic future . Plus , there was a lot of uncanny mutant sex and angsting .
I ’ve always guiltily enjoyed 4400 , in part because it cheerfully steal from everything : X - Files , X - Men , TimeTrax , Heroes , and even Scientology . It was always fun and melodramatic , full of culty mutant enclave , secretive pseudo - governing agencies , unhinged scientist , superpowered baby who grow to adulthood overnight , and a lot of unneeded hair gel . Plus , the 4th time of year cliffhanger — now the show ’s finale — was utterly insane . Everybody in the world was about to get their hand on promicin and go mutant . 4400 , you were never afraid to go over the top . I ’ll escape you .
