The shows are not competitors, as they are both executive produced by the film franchise’s director, Bryan Singer, along with producers Lauren Shuler Donner and Simon Kinberg; Marvel TV’s Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory are also executive producing. Neither series will have _X-Men_ branding, but both series will involve characters and storylines from the comic book series and will be products of the original _X-Men_ film franchise, [according to ](http://deadline.com/2015/10/x-men-marvel-series-legion-fx-pilot-hellfire-fox-1201582209/ "undefined")[_Deadline_](http://deadline.com/2015/10/x-men-marvel-series-legion-fx-pilot-hellfire-fox-1201582209/ "undefined")_._ _Legion_ will follow David Haller, a teenager suffering from schizophrenia who’s been a regular at psychiatric hospitals for seeing and hearing visions that actually might be true. _Hellfire_, meanwhile, is a retro throwback to the 1960s that tells the tale of a Special Agent who stumbles upon a secret society of millionaires bent on taking over the world and calling themselves “The Hellfire Club.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4074192/xmen-legion-hellfire/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4074192/xmen-legion-hellfire/"},"headline":"X-Men Is Coming to Television With 2 New Shows","datePublished":"2015-10-14T22:54:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:48:18.038Z","description":"FX will produce 'Legion,' while Fox will develop 'Hellfire.'","url":"https://time.com/4074192/xmen-legion-hellfire/","keywords":["Television","movies","Marvel","Fox","FX","X-Men"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tanya Basu","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tanya-basu/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4074192/xmen-legion-hellfire/","name":"X-Men Is Coming to Television With 2 New Shows"}}]}] ```
