FX CEO John Landgraf revealed that the new "X-Men" TV series is not a continuation of the movie franchise, Slashfilm reported. Also, the "X-Men" TV series is said to be set in a world where commoners are not aware that mutants exist.
The government, however, knows about the existence of mutants and it is something that is different from the movies.
