EXposed
episode of The Gifted
"eXposed" is the pilot and first episode of the American television series The Gifted, based on Marvel Comics' X-Men properties. It is connected to the X-Men film series, and follows two parents who take their family on the run after discovering their children's mutant abilities. The pilot was written by series creator Matt Nix, with frequent X-Men film director Bryan Singer directing the episode.
The Gifted received a put pilot commitment in July 2016, with Nix attached to write. An official pilot order came in January 2017, with Singer joining then. Casting began in February for a March filming start, in Dallas, Texas. The episode introduces an alternate timeline to the X-Men films where the X-Men team has disappeared, and focuses on the discrimination that mutants face from other people and the government. The show stars Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker, with Sean Teale, Natalie Alyn Lind, Percy Hynes White, Coby Bell, Jamie Chung, Blair Redford, and Emma Dumont. Stan Lee also appears, in a cameo appearance.
"eXposed" aired on Fox on October 2, 2017.

Why this record matters
“EXposed” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, EXposed, episode and Gifted provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q41641818. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016 and 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
