What’s This TV Show About?
An FX sci-fi drama centering on the X-Men character, Legion stars Dan Stevens, Rachel Keller, Aubrey Plaza, Bill Irwin, David Negahban, Jeremie Harris, Amber Midthunder, Hamish Linklater, Katie Aselton, and Lauren Tsai. The superhero thriller follows David Haller (Stevens). After being in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years, David met Syd (Keller), who helped him realize he wasn’t schizophrenic, but rather, in possession of incredible abilities. In Legion season three, David is at odds with all his one-time friends, so he teams up with a young mutant named “Switch” (Tsai), in hopes of tapping into her secret ability, in order to repair the damage he has caused.
Season Three Ratings
The third season of Legion averaged a 0.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 335,000 viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 38% and 22%, respectively. Find out how Legion stacks up against the other FX TV shows.
Legion was renewed for a third and final season, but could it come back one day? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Don’t spend this summer worrying whether FX will cancel or renew Legion for season four. The network announced this was the third and final season quite some time ago. Marvel chief Jeph Loeb says he thinks of the final season as the “end of the graphic novel,” but that if series creator Noah Hawley came to them with another story, he hopes FX would want to tell it.
