Is Generation X coming back?

Generation X ended on March 20, 2016, on National Geographic.

Generation X was a documentary series that aired in 2016, exploring the experiences of the generation born between 1961 and 1981.

Narrated by Christian Slater, the show consisted of six hour-long episodes that examined how post-baby boom youth shaped the world around them.

The series featured commentary and personal stories from a diverse group of authors, journalists, politicians, and celebrities, including Kevin Smith, Courtney Love, Sara Palin, Molly Ringwald, Gavin Newsom, Julian Assange, Rachel Dratch, and Tabitha Soren. It provided a retrospective look at the era and the cultural shifts that defined this generation, offering insight into how they became characterized and how they influenced history. The show was part of National Geographic's effort to re-examine and redefine the narrative surrounding Generation X.
