That sounds about right. The only confirmed connection that The New Mutants was supposed to have to the main X-Men films is that Professor X and Storm were supposed to appear in it. However, both characters have been written out of the script by this point.

The Gifted can probably continue for a while at least. Marvel is likely going to introduce the X-Men using the major players first (Professor X, Cyclops, etc.). As such, lesser known characters like Polaris, Thunderbird and Blink are unlikely appear any time soon, allowing them to continue in The Gifted for now.
