Ten Thirteen Productions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ten Thirteen Productions was a production company founded by Chris Carter in 1993, which produced four television series and a film, the most successful being The X-Files. The company was named after Carter's birthday, October 13. The Ten Thirteen offices were located in Century City, Los Angeles, California.

The company was founded when Carter began his series The X-Files in 1993. With the success of The X-Files continuosly growing, in 1996 the company embarked on a new series; Millennium. The series was cancelled after three seasons. In 1998 they released an X-Files film, The X-Files: Fight the Future. In 1999, as Millennium was cut, a third series was put into production, Harsh Realm. It was cancelled after only nine episodes. In 2001 they decided to create a direct spin-off from The X-Files and the result was The Lone Gunmen. This was cancelled after only one series. When The X-Files was drawn to an end in 2002 the company decided to split up instead of continue. There has been speculation that the company would re-form for a second X-Files film.
