Common questions
Is Frequency the 2016 TV series related to the 2000 movie?
The 2016 Frequency television series by Jeremy Carver shares the same core premise as the 2000 film, involving a father and daughter communicating across time through a ham radio. Both titles explore the consequences of changing the past while separated by twenty years.
What order should I watch the Frequency movie and the TV series?
You can watch the 2000 Frequency movie and the 2016 Frequency television series in any order. They are separate adaptations of the same concept, so the movie does not serve as a required prequel or sequel to the events depicted in the television show.
How long is the timeline gap in Frequency?
In both the 2000 movie and the 2016 Frequency television series, the characters are separated by exactly twenty years. Detective Raimy Sullivan communicates with her father, Frank Sullivan, who is transmitting from 1996, creating a temporal bridge that allows them to attempt to rewrite their family history.
Does the Frequency TV series follow the same plot as the 2000 movie?
While both the 2000 movie and the 2016 Frequency television series feature a father and daughter connecting across time via a ham radio, the television series expands the narrative into a longer format. Both versions focus on the risks of altering the past to save loved ones.
