Latest Clip For Legion Series

 

FX has dropped the latest promo for Legion and things get weird pretty quickly. As the network’s offshoot series hails from the X-Men universe that shouldn’t be all that surprising, particularly when you cast your mind back to previous trailer reveals, which have ramped up the craziness in their own right.

Introducing budding viewers to Aubrey Plaza’s eternal optimist, Lenny, the snippet does offer up some fleeting plot details, including the ways in which Plaza’s recovering drug addict interacts with David, the erratic schizophrenic played by Dan Stevens.

Held up as an Omega-level mutant with equal parts fear and admiration, David has spent his troubled years in and out of psychiatric hospitals. Doomed to a miserable life, it’s only after a strange encounter with a fellow patient that Stevens’ lead entertains the thought that maybe his visions may be real after all. Weirdness ensues.

Also starring Rachel Keller, Katie Aselton, Jeremie Harris, and Jean Smart, Legion marks the latest collaboration between FX and Noah Hawley, who have together carved out a bona fide hit in the Fargo TV series.

FX will, at long last, play host to Legion in the early stages of 2017. There’s no word yet of an official premiere date.
