Created by J. J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the show follows a Boston-based FBI 'Fringe Division' investigative team, under the supervision of US Homeland Security, that uses unorthodox science to probe into 'The Pattern', a series of unexplained, ghastly occurrences happening regularly throughout the world.
Following a $10 million Toronto-lensed, Fox TV-pilot, "Fringe" moved production to New York City, producing 24 episodes for the first season, then re-located to Vancouver for the second season as a 'cost-cutting' measure.
The show has since been renewed for a third season.
Co-creator Abrams took his 'inspiration' for the show from a range of sources, including director Ken Russell's "Altered States" and TV series "The X-Files".
