FX original programming co-president Eric Schrier said, "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."
"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", said Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb.
"Legion" stars Dan Stevens with Rachel Keller, Aubrey Plaza, Jean Smart, Bill Irwin, Katie Aselton, Jeremie Harris, Amber Midthunder, and Mackenzie Grey. The show was created and executive produced by "Fargo" showrunner Noah Hawley.
In the show, David Haller (Dan Stevens) is told his whole life that he suffers from mental illness, but comes to find out that he really may have mutant superpowers.
