According to THR, former Person of Interest and Angel star Amy Acker has been cast as the female lead in Matt Nix’s X-Men television series. Acker will play Kate Stewart, wife of Stephen Moyer’s character, who is described as "a woman who is struggling with her separation from her husband Reed (Moyer) and her increasingly challenging teenage children. When her family situation takes a dark turn, she finds that she’s stronger than she thinks.”
