ADV Films announced that it has acquired the video rights to Mutant X, the syndicated TV series produced by Tribune Entertainment, Marvel Studios, and Fireworks Entertainment.  The second season of Mutant X is currently on the air.  So far there has been no word about the renewal of series for a third year, but it has performed well in a very tough market for syndicated series.  Although primarily known as an anime powerhouse -- ADV releases the most anime titles in the U.S., is behind the all-anime cable network, and publishes the American version of Newtype, Japan's leading anime publication -- ADV has also released DVDs for a number of live action science fiction television series including Farscape and Andromeda as well as the live action Japanese Gamera films.

 

ADV did not announce when it would be releasing its first Mutant X DVD, but the company did indicate that it wouldn't be a long time, and that its Mutant X DVDs would have lots of extras including commentary tracks from stars and staff, outtakes, and those ever-popular bloopers.
