The "X-Men" franchise is about to get two new spinoffs on the small screen with TV adaptations of the shows "Legion" on FX and "Hellfire" on Fox. Both shows are a part of the "X-Men" universe but will not have the "X-Men" branding.

According to a report on Deadline, the shows are being executive produced by the franchise's film director Bryan Singer and he will be joined in that capacity by Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory.

The two shows have some amazing stories to tell, which link directly to the "X-Men" franchise and have their own momentum as standalone series.

"Legion" tells the story of a man named David Heller. He had been in and out of hospitals for mental disorders throughout his life and, as a teen, was diagnosed with schizophrenia, which meant he was seeing and hearing voices presumably not there.

But it was a chance encounter with another patient that eventually opened his eyes to the other possibility as well, which was that the voices were real, and he was not crazy after all. Of course, being the son of X-Men founder Charles Xavier could mean he has a few of his father's abilities.

His character was first introduced in the franchise in 1985, and in the comic books, he went by the titular name.

"Hellfire" on Fox takes fans back to the 1960s and follows a young special agent who is investigating a woman motivated by power and domination. He soon learns she has magic powers and is working with a clandestine group of millionaires in a bid to take over the world.

There was a loose variation of the Hellfire Club portrayed by Kevin Bacon in the film "X-Men: First Class."

There has been no word yet as to when the shows will go into production or when they will premiere on their respective networks.
