The Gifted finale video: Prepare even more for a showdown

The Gifted finale is coming onto Fox soon, and as a result of that there’s going to be all sorts of action, drama, and maybe even some sort of epic cliffhanger by the very end of it. This is a show that really is going to want you to be excited about whatever is coming up in season 2 — after all, there is a season 2 coming your way.

Yes, Is The Gifted new tonight? That’s obviously the question most people entering this article are going to be wondering. Unfortunately, we come bearing some rather-bad news on that subject.

There is no new episode of The Gifted on the air tonight, largely because of the National Championship Game coming on tonight within the world of college football. While it’s not anticipated that the ratings for that game will be through the roof (it’s for two teams in Alabama and Georgia who are already a part of the same conference), we do certainly think that Fox is understandably cautious. They didn’t know who the two teams would be at the time they made this decision; not only that, but they obviously want to do just about everything in their power in order to ensure that the ratings here stay strong.

As a means to try and make it up to you, Fox is turning The Gifted episode 12 into a two-hour event; episode 13, otherwise known as the finale, is coming up immediately following the episode.

In the event you have not seen the promo for the big episode as of yet, we do think that this is all sorts of exciting. You have X-Men callbacks, Polaris making a big decision, and some of the most intense high-octane action that you’ve had a chance to see all season long. We like to think that this is ultimately the story that so many have been waiting for. Obviously The Gifted cannot make every episode into a superhero movie (there’s no budget for that), but it is worth it to go all out for the big finale to close it all off.
