Reed Strucker (Stephen Moyer), a district attorney who helps prosecute mutants for the government, goes on the run with his wife Caitlin (Amy Acker) and his children Lauren (Natalie Alyn Lind) and Andy (Percy Hynes White) when the children turn out to be mutants too and become targets of the government Reed works for. But hiding from the government's grasp proves to be a greater challenge than Reed expected, with Turner (Coby Bell), a cold-blooded Sentinel Services agent, sniffing them out at every turn. Reed and his family ironically turn to the mutant underground for help and get caught up in the mutant struggle for freedom and equality with the rest of humankind. The first season of "The Gifted" also stars Sean Teale as Eclipse, Jamie Chung as Blink, Emma Dumont as Polaris, and Blair Redford as Thunderbird.
Season Two picks up six months later, with the Mutant Underground at their new HQ in Washington D.C., stuck in the middle of an increasingly polarized nation, as both anti-mutant sentiment and the mutant rights movement are on the rise. The X-Men believed that mutants and humans could live together in peace -- now that dream hangs in the balance.
