It will run there for one week before migrating to NBC Universal websites, and then to cable television. The 4400 Special: Unlocking the Secrets was a one-hour special that covered the most important moments from seasons one and two of the series. It was intended to both familiarize new viewers and refresh faithful fans. After debuting on Online television offerings are becoming increasingly popular. Many shows become available through the controlling company's website after they are air. They may additionally be offered through the iTunes service. But for a cable TV episode to make an appearance on the Web before hitting the TV is a new development. Additionally, USA has plans to expand the content on The 4400 on DVD.
