Fox orders mysterious new mutant-based TV series from Marvel
Realizing that there just aren’t enough comic book–based shows on TV right now, Fox has announced that it’s giving a put pilot commitment to a new series apparently based on Marvel Comics’ X-Men. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Burn Notice creator Matt Nix will serve as an executive producer and writer for the pilot, which will center on parents forced to go on the run after their children reveal mysterious mutant powers. Frequent X-Men movie director Bryan Singer will produce, along with a number of executives who’ve worked on Fox’s long-running film franchise.
