Is ‘The Gifted’ On Tonight? World Series Game 1 Delays Fox Drama

“The Gifted” needs a week to recuperate after that last episode and is off tonight.

The Fox Marvel series won’t be airing a new episode Tuesday, and won’t return with a new one until next Tuesday, Oct. 30.

During its usual time slot of 8 p.m. EDT tonight, Fox will instead be airing Game 1 of the World Series. The network has blocked off three hours of airtime for the event and will also start coverage at 7:30 p.m. EDT with a pregame show. This half-hour broadcast will feature discussions about the impending first game.

The World Series will see the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox going up against each other after the Dodgers beat out the Milwaukee Brewers and the Red Sox trumped the Houston Astros. Games 1 and 2 will be played at Fenway Park in Boston. When Game 3 comes around on Friday, the teams will play at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

Fans of “The Gifted” won’t have to worry about going too long without the super-powered drama, though, as it has only been preempted for one week before it is scheduled to return. When Season 2 begins airing again next Tuesday with episode 5, titled “afterMath,” it’ll be all about racing to save lives and stopping the Inner Circle.

“Caitlin [Amy Acker] and Thunderbird [Blair Redford] struggle to save the life of a mutant injured in the Inner Circle's chaotic liberation of a psychiatric hospital, and also discover clues to the identity of the powerful mutant Polaris [Emma Dumont] and Andy [Percy Hynes White] were sent to retrieve,” according to the episode synopsis. “Meanwhile, as Jace [Coby Bell] joins up with the Purifiers to chase down the escaped mutants, he comes dangerously close to colliding once again with the Mutant Underground.”

The latest episode of “The Gifted” saw Lauren (Natalie Alyn Lind) trying to bring her brother, Andy, home from the Inner Circle. However, not only was she unsuccessful, but he injured her in the process. The episode ended with Lauren still unconscious from the attack.

Find out what happens to Lauren and more when new episodes of “The Gifted” begin airing on Fox again on Oct. 30 at 8 p.m. EDT.
