Uninterested in contending with the college football championship, FOX will air a re-run of “The Gifted” on Monday, January 8.
The show will return on January 15 — with back-to-back episodes.
Entitled “eXtraction” and “X-roads,” the episodes will serve as a two-hour season finale.
The episode will, obviously, chronicle escalation in the battle between the mutants and forces like Trask and Sentinel Services.
“Dr. Campbell attends an anti-mutant summit, attempting to take the Hound program national, and some of the team at Mutant HQ goes on a dangerous mission to stop his efforts,” says the official FOX synopsis. “Polaris learns more about her past and makes a crucial decision that could have impactful consequences. Meanwhile, the Mutant HQ comes under attack and, with everything to lose, relationships are put to the test and alliances shift.”
In advance of the January 15 broadcast, FOX shared production photos. Those photos are featured below:
