"Who is the real David?"

After a lengthy wait, we're now just under a month away from a whole new season of mind-bending action when Legion returns for its long-awaited second season on April 3. Plot details unsurprisingly remain under lock-and-key, but we do know the new season will pick up approximately a year later, with David Haller (Dan Stevens) still presumably locked up wherever he may be.

FX has released two new previews and while neither features that much new footage, we are teased with some very trippy ongoings.

Watch the two new promos below:

Legion, based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens) – a troubled young man who may be more than human.

Diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. Now in his early 30s and institutionalized once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of life in the hospital: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza), a fellow patient whose life-long drug and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David’s routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd (Rachel Keller). Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which he must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees are the result of him being a mutant.

A haunted man, David escapes from the hospital and seeks shelter with his sister Amy (Katie Aselton). But Amy’s concern for her brother is trumped by her desire to protect the picture perfect suburban life she’s built for herself. Eventually, Syd guides David to Melanie Bird (Jean Smart), a nurturing but demanding therapist with a sharp mind and unconventional methods. She and her team of specialists – Ptonomy (Jeremie Harris), Kerry (Amber Midthunder) and Cary (Bill Irwin) – open David’s eyes to an extraordinary new world of possibilities.

Legion features:
Dan Stevens as David Haller
Rachel Keller as Sydney "Syd" Barrett
Aubrey Plaza as Lenny Busker
Jean Smart as Melanie Bird
Bill Irwin as Cary Loudermilk
Jeremie Harris as Ptonomy Wallace
Amber Midthunder as Kerry Loudermilk
Katie Aselton as Amy Haller
Jean Smart as Melanie Bird
Jemaine Clement as Oliver Bird
Navid Negahban as Amahl Farouk/Shadow King

Legion returns with an all-new episode on April 3

@HeavyMetal4Life - I was thinking the exact same thing about the first promo. Creepy and effective. It really captures the style of last season. Sounds like there's more of that to come for season 2. Looking forward to it!

This and Fargo might be the best shows on TV right now. I find myself actually wanting this upcomg Doom movie to be folded in to the MCU. I really hope they are thinking long term and can sprinkle in some stuff like the destroyed helicarrier in Deadpool to make the transition more seamless.

Love this show; it's some of the most fun I've had watching a TV show since being a kid and watching Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner in back 1968...

@LobsterJohnson - I am not a numbah, I am a free man!

@Pathogen - Haha, YOU are numbah one!

Pathogen - 3/4/2018, 1:33 PM
