Hulu’s upcomingRunawaysseries is a little different fromThe Gifted(which also follows mutant runaways) in that they aren’t runningwiththeir parents butawayfrom them. InRunaways, based onBrian K. VaughnandAdrian Alphoma’s celebrated 2003 comic series of the same name, a group of teenagers (who were formerly friends but now can’t stand each other) have to band together after discovering that their parents are up to some weird, demonic shit.
The extended trailer gives a better idea of what exactly the parents are up to, and it includes suburban basement sacrifices and the creation, it seems, of substantial powers. There’s a note about the kids not having much time, so it could be that their powers are contingent on those sacrifices … either way, it shows some pretty high stakes and a great premise for the series, which will run for 10 episodes. As Hulu has done with some of its other recent series, the first three episodes will all premiere at once, with each remaining episode becoming available weekly after that.
