There has been a migration at the top of Fox's
upcoming X-Men spinoff TV drama, Hellfire.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hellfire
co-creators Evan Katz and Manny Coto traded the superhero drama for 24: Legacy,
which has received a formal pilot order. Patrick McKay and John D. Payne, who
came up with the story for the show alongside Katz and Coto, and who were set
to write the script, also left Hellfire.
THR's sources also reveal that "the X-Men drama
is not likely to go to pilot this season as it remains on a slower track" in
comparison to the second X-Men spinoff series, Legion, but nonetheless "Fox
remains committed to Hellfire and
wants to get it completely right."
"Unlikely it would be the fall," said Fox
chairman and CEO Dana Walden at the 2016 Television Critics Association Winter
Press Tour (via Slash Film). "Potentially midseason but no immediate
plans. We’re still working on Hellfire Club.
Obviously those executive producers are very busy with the film franchise and
the FX show, so not sure."
Set in the late 1960s, the
series -- which will be produced by 20th Century Fox Television
and Marvel Television, with 20th Century Fox handling the
physical production -- follows a young Special Agent who learns that a
power-hungry woman with extraordinary abilities is working with a clandestine
society of millionaires – known as “The Hellfire Club” – to take over the world.
