Legion Gets A Second Season

FX has elected to renew Legion for a second season as Eric Schrier and Nick Grad, Presidents of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions, announced jointly today.

On that note, Schrier had this to say: “The first season of Legion was a stunning achievement. More than a new series, Legion is a wholly original take on the super hero genre. Our thanks to Noah Hawley for taking the creative risks and shattering expectations. It’s a privilege to work again with Noah, his producing partners, the outstanding cast and our partners at Marvel Television on another season of Legion.”

Chronicling the exploits of David Haller, Legion’s blend of drama, intrigue and psychedelic visuals have no doubt been key in its success. What’s more is that the lead character happens to be the son of one Charles Xavier and, interestingly enough, Sir Patrick Stewart is more than enthusiastic about reprising his role as the mutant headmaster.
