15 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Still To Come In 2017

8. The Gifted

Fox and Marvel have already teamed-up for one excellent mutant series this year, with FX's Legion, and they're hoping to go two-for-two with The Gifted.

A more straightforward take on the X-Men world, the network series will see a family go on the run from the government after discovering their children have abilities, joining up with an underground band of mutants.

Angel's Amy Acker and True Blood's Stephen Moyer lead the cast, while the series comes from Burn Notice's Matt Nix, and Bryan Singer - who has overseen so much of the X-universe, which this is sort of connected to - is directing the pilot.

Air Date: October 2
