Earlier today, Marvel Entertainment & FX Networks officially announced a February 2017 premiere date for their eagerly awaited upcoming joint-collaboration, Legion.

The show, which is connected to the X-Men film series, stars Dan Stevens (Beauty and the Beast) as David Haller, the mutant son of Professor Charles Xavier, and features a supporting cast consisting of Rachel Keller (Fargo), Jean Smart (The Accountant), Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation), Jeremie Harris (A Walk Among the Tombstones), Amber Midthunder (Hell or High Water), Katie Aselton (The League), Bill Irwin (Interstellar), and Jemaine Clement (What We Do In The Shadows).

Fargo creator Noah Hawley will serve as showrunner and will co-produce alongside Lauren Shulder Donner, Bryan Singer, Simon Kinberg, & Jeph Loeb.

Check out the latest reality-bending preview, which teases the larger threat David Haller will face, below:

Legion follows the story of David Haller, a troubled young man who may be more than human. Since he was a teenager, David has struggled with mental illness. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.

Legion features:
Dan Stevens as David Haller
Rachel Keller as Syd Barrett
Jean Smart as Melanie
Aubrey Plaza as Lenny Busker
Jeremie Harris as Ptonomy Wallace
Amber Midthunder as Kerry Loudermilk
Katie Aselton as Amy Haller

this looks so good!

This is either going to be mind blowingly good or just okay.

Noah Hawley is amazing but I've come to accept that success and talent in one genre doesn't mean it'll transfer to others.

JoeMomma29 - 10/18/2016, 3:17 PM

@ComicsBornAndBred - I agree.....but the last two seasons of Fargo have been short of amazing IMO.

GhostDog - 10/18/2016, 3:19 PM

@JoeMomma29 - Fargo is PERFECT TV imo. Its flawless storytelling. I love season one better than 2 though. 2 was still great.

Season one was some of the BEST tv I've ever watched.

JoeMomma29 - 10/18/2016, 3:24 PM

@ComicsBornAndBred - Agree! Season one was just top notch, though season two was just brutal.

I am curious what the story line will be for season three.

GhostDog - 10/18/2016, 3:24 PM

@JoeMomma29 - who knows where they'll go. It'll be must see tv for sure
