The Gifted has been maintaining a steady audience of over three million over the last few weeks, though while the decline week to week is growing smaller, there is declining viewership. Should The Gifted be allowed to have a second season?

It will depend on a few things. Based on the feedback from the last episode, with a plot revelation that changed the direct narrative of the show, IGN says that this might be what keeps The Gifted thriving where previous shows fail. That said, others have continued criticism that this may be making the show aimless if they need to keep changing their central conceit to keep things interesting.

TVbythenumbers’s cancel bear predictions errs in The Gifted’s favor for renewal too. Out of the shows premiering this season, they ranked The Gifted as fourth most likely to be renewed by their network.

What will happen as a result? Where is The Gifted’s future? We shall see.
