The Gifted

Network: Fox


Premise
Unlike current X-Men series Legion, Gifted will be spun directly out of the X-Men movie continuity. The show will revolve around parents who discover their child is a mutant, and must join an underground system of other desperate families and mutant freedom fighters, trying to oppose or escape government persecution.


Starring:

Stephen Moyer (True Blood) as Reed
Amy Acker (Person Of Interest) as Kate Stewart
Jamie Chung (Once Upon a Time) as Clarice Fong/Blink
Blair Redford (Switched at Birth) as Sam
Sean Teale (Incorporated) as Marcos Diaz/Eclipse
Natalie Alyn Lind (Gotham) as Lauren,
Emma Dumont (Pretty Little Liars) as Lorna Dane/Polaris
Percy Hynes White (11.22.63) as Andy
Coby Bell (Burn Notice) as Jace Turner


Matt Nix (APB, Burn Notice) - Writer/Executive Producer
Lauren Shuler Donner (X-Men Franchise, Deadpool, Logan) - Executive Producer
Bryan Singer - Executive Producer
Simon Kinberg - Executive Producer
Jim Chory - Executive Producer
Marvel TV President Jeph Loeb will also be serving as Executive Producers on the project. These people are also involved with the FX series, Legion.

It's been picked up to series and apparently its now just called The Gifted!


Fox has made its first new series order this season, picking up its highest-profile project and drama front-runner The Gifted, from writer Matt Nix and X-Men director Bryan Singer.

Written by Nix and helmed by Singer, The Gifted focuses on a suburban couple (Stephen Moyer, Amy Acker) whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive.

The action-adventure drama, which features characters from the X-Men comic book franchise, comes from 20th Century Fox TV and Marvel TV. With its pickup and Gotham looking likely to come back for another season, Fox would become a rare platform to feature Marvel and DC series co-existing alongside each other.

Nix executive produces The Gifted alongside Singer, Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg of the feature X-Men franchise and Marvel TV’s Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory.

Co-starring in the series are Sean Teale, Jamie Chung, Coby Bell, Emma Dumont, Blair Redford, John Proudstar, Natalie Alyn Lind and Percy Hynes White.

The Gifted was one of the most buzzed-about Fox pilots this year!

The new trailer for Fox’s upcoming Marvel drama series The Gifted has been viewed more than 31 million times since its official debut Monday morning, the network said today. The clip, which actually was released late Sunday, has more than 11 million YouTube views, with the remainder not specified.

The series from writer Matt Nix and X-Men director Bryan Singer focuses on a suburban couple (Stephen Moyer, Amy Acker) whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive. Sean Teale, Jamie Chung, Coby Bell, Emma Dumont, Blair Redford, John Proudstar, Natalie Alyn Lind and Percy Hynes White also star. Watch the trailer here.

Last year, the breakout new-series trailer was for NBC’s This Is Us, which topped 50 million Facebook views in its first 11 days. The show, of course, went on to score big ratings and awards love during its freshman run.

The Gifted, from 20th Century Fox TV and Marvel TV, was the subject of an elaborate promotion campaign Monday in Manhattan. A mysterious black van from “the Sentinel Services’ Mutant Testing Center” wended its way through the streets before Fox’s upfront and menacing government “agents” offered information on whether passersby were mutants and how to get tested for the gene.

The series will air on Fox at 9 PM Mondays in the fall, with Lucifer as a lead-in

Finally got around to watching this last night and I thought it was really well done.

I didn't know or had forgot that Stan Lee had a cameo. I also loved the Easter egg of the ringtone on one of the characters phones was the theme from 90's X-Men animated series.

The talk of the X-Men/Brotherhood etc..

The special effects looked really good.

Fox has renewed The Gifted for a 2nd Season.

However its possible that it could move to the new Disney Streaming Service if it ends up getting a Season 3 renewal.
