Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore), eccentric billionaire and adventurer, travelled the world to adopt as many children as possible and ended up with seven of them. According to our narrator, 43 women around the world gave birth and none of these women were pregnant when the day began. We are taken to Russia where a seemingly normal woman jumps into the pool and doesn’t emerge, but the pool begins to fill with blood and she suddenly appears pregnant.
They’ve all got their everyday issues and the majority of them have long left the life of aiding those who cannot help themselves, but the family are soon reunited and as always, it seems the end of the world is now fast approaching. Now the people you will meet within the series, well, they’re not your typical superhumans.
