The Chronicle is an American science fiction comedy television series starring Chad Willett that was broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel from July 14, 2001, to March 22, 2002. The series is based on the News from the Edge series of novels (for example, Vampires from Vermont) by Mark Sumner, a St. Louis–based author. The series was originally sold to NBC, which shot the pilot, but later found a home on Sci-Fi Channel. The original creative producers who brought the series to television were German Michael Torres and Trevor Taylor.
