Prepare for more mind trickery on FX. Legion has been renewed for season two. The news comes two weeks ahead of the show’s season finale.
No word on exactly when it will debut or how many episodes Season 2 of the Dan Stevens, Aubrey Plaza and Katie Aselton starring Legion will have when it airs next year. However, it will likely premiere early in 2018 and will be airing at least as many shows as the eight-episode first season that ends on March 29.
The show has been embraced by critics and puts up decent numbers of FX. Marvel had this to say about the show’s renewal:
“We are thrilled there will be a new season of Legion. “Noah’s spectacular take on David Haller and all the other characters he brought to life makes us ache for more. We’re particularly proud of our partners at FX and the success we share on our first TV series together.”
The series aired its sixth episode last night.
