The Gifted is the second television series to spin out of Fox's X-Men franchise, following the successful Legion on FX. However, Nix stated that while The Gifted shares certain characters, elements and themes with the X-Men films, from Blink to Sentinels to anti-mutant sentiments, the show will exist in a separate universe or as he put it, a different "stream."
Premiering Monday, Oct. 2, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the joint production of Fox and Marvel Television stars Stephen Moyer as Reed Strucker, Amy Acker as Caitlin Strucker, Sean Teale as Marcos Diaz/Eclipse, Coby Bell as Jace Turner, Emma Dumont cast as Lorna Dane/Polaris, Jamie Chung as Blink/Clarice Fong and Blair Redford as John Proudstar/Thunderbird, Natalie Alyn Lind as Lauren Strucker and Percy Hynes White as Andy Strucker.
