New X-MEN TV Series from Matt Nix Gets Pilot Commitment at Fox
Fox is looking for a new way into the X-Men universe. The network on Tuesday announced that it has handed out a put-pilot commitment to an untitled Marvel action-adventure series.
The untitled project 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 a co-production between 20th Century Fox Television and Marvel Television. Burn Notice's Matt Nix — who is set as showrunner on the network's upcoming APB drama — will pen the script and executive produce alongside X-Men franchise veterans Lauren Shuler Donner, Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg as well as Marvel's Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory.
The news comes less than a year after Fox announced development of the X-Men-themed drama Hellfire.The latter project, which was overseen by Evan Katz and Manny Coto, was scrapped after the duo exited to focus on 24: Legacy, with Patrick McKay and John D. Payne also departing the project in January.
