His new Fox series, _The Gifted_, will follow a family that goes on the run when two human parents figure out that their children are mutants. The first teaser for the show dropped Wednesday, and episodes will air in the fall. Like the _X-Men_ movies, the new show promises plenty of growing pains, teenage angst and explosions. The family eventually discovers an underground team of mutants. This is the second X-Men-related TV show to hit small screens. Singer also produced this year’s trippy show [_Legion_](http://time.com/4661199/legion-fx-review/ "undefined"), created by [_Fargo_](http://time.com/55550/fargo-fx-review/ "undefined") showrunner [Noah Hawley](http://time.com/4667769/noah-hawley-legion-fx/ "undefined"). But unlike _Legion_, [which has spun its own story](http://time.com/4655943/legion-fx-superhero-marvel/ "undefined"), the creators of _The Gifted_ [have said](http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/01/12/matt-nix-confirms-the-x-men-tv-series-is-connected-to-the-movies "undefined") the new show will eventually connect with the _X-Men_ movies. Stephen Moyer (_True Blood_) and Amy Acker (_Angel_) play the parents of the two burgeoning mutants. _Burn Notice_ creator Matt Nix will write and act as showrunner. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4773870/marvel-x-men-show-gifted/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4773870/marvel-x-men-show-gifted/"},"headline":"Watch the Teaser for New X-Men Show The Gifted","datePublished":"2017-05-10T15:02:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:46.216Z","description":"Bryan Singer brings another superhero series to TV","url":"https://time.com/4773870/marvel-x-men-show-gifted/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5d07be8845f5612b/6988ccbcab6d7778936ae0b4/screen-shot-2017-05-10-at-10-49-02-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5d07be8845f5612b/6988ccbcab6d7778936ae0b4/screen-shot-2017-05-10-at-10-49-02-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The Gifted","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/4773870/marvel-x-men-show-gifted/","name":"Watch the Teaser for New X-Men Show The Gifted"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Bryan Singer brings another superhero series to TV","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4773870/marvel-x-men-show-gifted/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4773870/marvel-x-men-show-gifted/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
