The second season of Legion from visionary director Noah Hawley is expanding, as FX has decided to add a surprise additional episode to follow the season finale. The season was originally planned to run 10 episodes.
In tonight’s episode of Legion, we reach the mid-point of the season and an uneasy reunion leads to a shocking truth. Six more episodes are to come after tonight’s, with the season now ending on June 12. Based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, Legion follows David Haller (Dan Stevens), a man who believed himself to be schizophrenic, only to discover that he may actually be the most powerful mutant the world has ever seen.
The series is executive produced by Hawley, John Cameron, Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory. Hawley and Cameron are known for their Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning FX anthology series Fargo.
