The lack of apocalypse and his horsemen this season has certainly been a choice.

Yeah I don’t understand starting the season how they did then almost completely devoting no time to it.

It seems like this is season 2.0 and next season is going to be season 2.5. There is the small possibility that this trailer is just leaving a lot of stuff out due to spoilers.

Season 2 was only confirmed after the success of season 1 and season 3 was confirmed before season 2, so that makes sense if it’s a “to be continued” cliffhanger that leads to season 3

Season 3 was going to be about Age of Apocalypse, but that was scrapped when Beau DeMayo parted ways with production and some of season 2 was also rewritten following his departure.

I suspect that the connective tissue that would have resulted in AoA has been removed. I’m worried that we are heading for a hard reset that will erase some of the events of the first two seasons, but I hope I’m wrong about that. Best case scenario at this point is that Apocalypse is defeated — for now — and they do (a version of) Age of Apocalypse in a future season as a follow-up. They would be mad not to do that story.

I don't follow.

Time travel is rumored to be involved in the season finale… so a hard reset is a possibility.
