Debuts February 15 on Netflix. This Netflix original series is a 10-episode, live-action adaptation of the award-winning graphic novels by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way. The story centers on six superhero siblings—and a smart chimp—who reunite as adults after the death of their adopted father and try to overcome their differences to work together to save the world. Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, Mary J. Blige, Emmy Raver-Lampman, and Kate Walsh head the cast, and the adaptation comes from Jeremy Slater (who also created the recent TV adaptation of The Exorcist).
