The newly independent broadcast network, FOX, has canceled the Marvel series, The Gifted, after two seasons.
The cancellation marks the first to come for the newly independent Fox Entertainment. The series was produced by 20th Century Fox Television, the TV studio that was included in the $71.3 billion asset sale from Fox to Disney.
The Gifted was produced by Marvel Television & its renewal was considered a long shot, given that Marvel’s TV fare is almost all now exclusively on Disney-owned platforms after Netflix cut ties with the company and canceled all of the comic book giant’s remaining originals.
The Gifted also wasn’t a huge ratings grabber, averaging fewer than 2 million viewers and just under a 0.6 rating, dropping 40 percent from its freshman run.
On The Gifted, in a world where mutated humans are treated with distrust and fear, an institute for mutants battles to achieve peaceful co-existence with humanity.
