FX’s “X-Men” drama “Legion” will conclude after its third season, the network’s CEO John Landgraf said Monday during the Television Critics Association press tour.
Landgraf said Noah Hawley, who created the drama, had always planned for it to be a three-season story. The final season will premiere this summer.
“Legion” is based on the Marvel comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz and stars Dan Stevens as David Haller, a man who thought he was schizophrenic but is actually a powerful mutant. Season 2 saw David take on the Shadow King, aka Amahl Farouk (Navid Negahban), a parasite that has been haunting David since he was a kid.
