FOX is moving ahead with its planned live-action X-Men series. Unlike the upcoming FX series Legion, this X-Men series is expected to tie into the big-screen X-Men films with four time X-movies director Bryan Singer set to executive produce alongside Jim Chory, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb and Lauren Shuler Donner. Matt Nix (Burn Notice, FOX’s upcoming APB) is writing and will also serve as EP.
The still untitled X-Men series will focus on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers. Forced to go on the run from a hostile government, the family joins up with an underground network of mutants and must fight to survive. The series will be produced by 20th Century Fox Television and Marvel Television, with 20th Century Fox handling physical production.
