FX Renews Legion For Season Three

FX isn’t done with its ride through David Haller’s head, as the network has renewed Legion for a third season. FX original programming president Eric Schrier announced the news on Friday that the show will come back for a third run next year.

“Legion has redefined the superhero drama and exceeded all expectations as the intensity and revelation build through the second season,” FX original programming president Eric Schrier said in a statement. “We are incredibly proud of Noah Hawley’s achievement and are honored to continue the series as it pushes the boundaries of conventional television storytelling. We are also grateful for the contributions of our executive producers, John Cameron, Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, and Jeph Loeb with Marvel Television, as well as our outstanding cast and crew of this groundbreaking show.”

Based on the Marvel comic, Legion stars Dan Stevens as troubled mutant David Haller, who’s just learning how to harness his formidable powers. Season 2 has seen David and his Summerland team join forces with former enemies Division 3 to battle Amahl Farouk, better known as the Shadow King, as they race to find Farouk’s original body before he does.
