Fox cancels Atlanta-produced ‘The Gifted’ after two seasons

“The Gifted,” which completed season two in February, followed a suburban couple who find out their teenage children possess mutant powers and are forced to go on the run from a hostile government. They join an underground network of mutants to survive.

The show saw a huge drop-off in viewership season two. Its overnight average of viewers fell from 3.31 million to 1.95 million and its 18-49 ratings dropped an alarming 41 percent.

Fox currently has three other shows shooting in Atlanta: "Star," "The Passage" and "The Resident." "Star" is still up in the air for a fourth season and there is no word on the future of "The Passage" in terms of a second season yet. "The Resident" recently received a third-season nod.

The network shot two pilots in Atlanta for potential slots in the 2019-20 schedule: a romantic comedy called “Lovestruck” starring Rachel Billson and a cop show “Deputy” starring Stephen Dorff. Most pilots that are shot here and get cleared stay here though occasionally a network will move it elsewhere e.g. ABC’s “Quantico” and NBC’s “Revolution.”
