Kyle XY is an American science fiction television series created by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber and produced by ABC Studios. The central character is a teenage boy (Matt Dallas) who awakens naked in a forest outside Seattle, Washington, with amnesia and no belly button. He is taken in by a family and given the name Kyle. The series follows Kyle as he tries to solve the puzzles of who he is and why he has no memory before that day. Although set in Seattle, the series was filmed in the Vancouver, British Columbia area.

The series premiered June 26, 2006, on the ABC Family cable channel. The series ran for three seasons, ending on March 16, 2009.[1][2] The final episode featured several cliffhangers, which were eventually resolved in a special feature on the third season DVD.[3][4]

Novels

Two novels based on the series have been published, both written by S. G. Wilkins. The first, Kyle XY: Nowhere to Hide, concerns Kyle's first Halloween, while the second, Kyle XY: Under the Radar, concerns the school's election for student president, with Kyle as a candidate.

Soundtrack and music

The music supervisor for the show was Chris Mollere. Michael Suby wrote the opening theme, and most of the score and cues; none of his work appeared on the soundtrack album, which was released in 2007.

Alternate reality game

Kyle XY featured an online alternate reality game during the first season in which players were "invited" to help solve the mystery of Kyle's actual identity. ABC Family and Touchstone hosted a website by the fictional business The Mada Corporation[21] that served as the game's rabbit hole introducing players to the in-game universe, but the project ended during the second season.
