While Hugh Jackman unleashes his claws “One Last Time” in the big screen with his Wolverine swan song film in “Logan”, Fox is spreading its wings and continuing the saga in a new TV Series that is set in the same continuity as the films.

After the success of the ongoing show “Legion”, which follows the adventures of Professor X’s son in another reality, ComicBook.com has reported that the new "X-Men"-based TV series in the works has an official title: "Gifted" 

The news was confirmed when Lauren Shuler Donner shared a photo on her Twitter page, which indicated that reading has officially begun for the show.
