Bryan Singer, who started the X-Men cinematic universe
in 2000, is set to direct pilot for the untitled X-Men television series from
Burn Notice creator Matt Nix for 20th Century Fox and Marvel Television.
The project, which Singer also executive produces, was
given a pilot order just yesterday.
The yet untitled series will center on two ordinary
parents forced to go on the run from a hostile government after discovering
that their teen children possess mutant abilities. The family eventually teams with an underground
network of mutants to fight for their right to be.
Singer will executive produce the series with Nix, and Fox's Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner, and Marvel's Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory.
With the yet untitled X-Men series, Fox will now house projects from both
DC Comics, and Marvel. The network currently airs the Batman prequel series
Gotham, and the supernatural drama Lucifer. Besides this two DC shows, Fox is
also developing a Black Lightning drama, and is set to premiere on their sister
cable network, FX, a X-Men-themed Marvel drama titled Legion.
