FX Renews ‘Legion’ for Season Two

FX has ordered a second season of drama “Legion,” with an unconfirmed number of new episodes for 2018. Debuting on Feb. 8, “Legion,” based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a troubled young man who may be more than human. After an encounter with a fellow psychiatric patient, Haller is confronted with the possibility that there may be more to him than mental illness.

A haunted man, David escapes from the hospital and seeks shelter with his sister Amy (Katie Aselton). But Amy’s concern for her brother is trumped by her desire to protect the picture perfect suburban life she’s built for herself. Eventually, Syd guides David to Melanie Bird (Jean Smart), a nurturing but demanding therapist with a sharp mind and unconventional methods. She and her team of specialists – Ptonomy (Jeremie Harris), Kerry (Amber Midthunder) and Cary (Bill Irwin) – open David’s eyes to an extraordinary new world of possibilities.
