Set to premiere in the fall, The Gifted follows two ordinary parents played by Stephen Moyer (True Blood) and Amy Acker (Person of Interest), who are on the run from the government after it's discovered that their children, Natalie Alyn Lind (The Goldbergs) and Percy Hynes White (Between), have mutant powers.
