The show will follow two seemingly quotidian parents that come to discover their children have unique special powers.

The parents will be played by True Blood actor Stephen Moyer and Person of Interest’s Amy Acker. Fans can expect appearances from X-Men characters such Blink, Thunderbird, and Polaris.

A full trailer is expected to be released on Monday, May 15. How many episodes that will make up the first season has yet to be announced, as well as an official series premiere date. The Gifted will make the third comic-based series airing on FOX, alongside Gotham and Lucifer.
