The network has teamed with Marvel to develop a drama series Hellfire, which is set in the 1960s and follows the story of a young FBI special agent who discovers that a megalomaniac woman with extraordinary abilities is working with a clandestine society of millionaires called The Hellfire Club in a bid to take over the world.
"We are thrilled to partner with Marvel to bring this world to television and build upon the vibrant mythology that has captivated fans for years," David Madden, President of Entertainment for Fox, said in a statement. "These powerful and dynamic characters are complicated and larger-than-life, the pace and visual imagination are unrelenting, and the story takes place during one of the most explosive eras in recent history. We are so looking forward to working with this incredibly talented team."
While the exact characters from the popular X-Men series that will feature in the TV series is yet to be confirmed, Madden confirmed that a few well-known characters will feature along with new characters created for the series.
Meanwhile, FX and Marvel will also work together on the TV series called Legion, which tracks the story of the long-lost son of Professor X, one of the lead characters from the X-Men. The main character, David Haller, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, but realises that it is his special mutant powers that give him multiple personalities.
