Marvel Comics

Speaking of Marvel TV shows, they have yet another one lined-up, this time over at Fox - marking the second collaboration between the pair after Legion.

The TV series originally set to be based around the Hellfire Club has been scrapped, in favour of this still untitled project from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix.

Unlike Legion, it'll very much take place in the same universe as the X-Men movies, if not directly connecting to them in a storytelling sense (so probably something similar to how the Defenders series tie-in to the MCU).

According to Nix, the series will be set in a world that sees mutant kids forced to go on the run, and the established mutants have something to say about it, and there'll be a mix of familiar characters and new creations. Promisingly, Nix has also spoken of not wanting filler episodes like a lot of network superhero shows, intending the series to be around 10-13 episodes.
