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, Jemaine Clement, Jeremie Harris, Amber Midthunder, Hamish Linklater, and Jean Smart. 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. Upon exorcising the Shadow King from his body, David disappeared. Now his team must ally themselves with former nemesis Clark (Linklater) and Division III, his government organization. Meanwhile, the Shadow King, i.e. Amahl Farouk (Negahban) continues his quest for unlimited, apocalyptic power.

Telly’s Take
Will FX cancel or renew Legion for season three? The ratings are still way down but, right now, I think it will score a third season. FX is relatively patient with its dramas, and Legion is its first Marvel project. Since that’s just speculation, I’ll keep a hungry eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Legion cancellation or renewal alerts.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Legion TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if FX had cancelled this TV series, instead?

When something is bad, it’s just bad!
It has got to be renewed. I love this show. I have watched every episode multiple times and purchased season 1. I can’t even remember the last time I bought a whole season. Not since Firefly.

A note to the advertisers…. present this show in a manner that it is not like the typical brain dead spoon fed dialogue that we have seen… Read more »

The rumor is that this will be the final season–an extra episode was added to apparently tie all the loose ends up. This is a shame. I’m not a Marvel fan, but Legion has been amazing with brilliant writing and cinematography. The people that decry the show as stupid must require spoon-feeding of their stories.
