FX Renews Legion — But There's a Catch

FX has ordered a second season of Legion, the network announced Wednesday.

However, fans of the surreal drama will have to wait a while to figure out what's next for David Haller (Dan Stevens), as Legion' s second season won't premiere until 2018.

Based on the Marvel comics, Legion follows David after he realizes that the voices in his head aren't because he's schizophrenic -- he's a mutant. With the help of his girlfriend and fellow mutant Syd (Rachel Keller), David winds up under the tutelage of Melanie Bird (Jean Smart), a therapist with unconventional methods and a unique team of specialists who aim to help David learn to control his powers and stay safe.

Legion is executive-produced by Noah Hawley, who also helms Fargo for FX.

Legion is unlike any other comic book series on TV

"The first season of Legion was a stunning achievement," Eric Schrier, FX's president of original programming, said in a statement. "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."

Legion airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on FX.
