Legion Is So Good It's Getting An Extra Season 2 Episode

It's a good day to be a Legion fan. The trippy FX series, which has ties to Marvel Comics, is getting an 11th episode added to its 10-episode season. That means more psychedelic scenes, more bizarre metaphorical moments, and more weirdness before Season 2 comes to a close.

The new season finale will air on June 12 at 10 PM ET on FX, according to Deadline. The series follows a young, troubled man named David Haller (Dan Stevens), who is the son of the famed Professor X. He was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia but came to realize he was an exceptionally powerful mutant who has the powers of telepathy and telekinesis. He quickly learns that there are more people out there just like him, and he's no longer alone. However, some of these other mutants aren't very friendly.

The newest season revolves around Haller fighting for the future. He continues his battle with the Shadow King, an incredibly powerful telepath in his own right. There have been hints to what could be coming in future episodes, like Haller's father finally appearing on the show. However, it can be tough to figure out just where this show is going sometimes because it's a bit of trip and tends to play with the audience.

While Season 1 of Legion was a blast, it felt pretty disconnected from its source material. In Season 2, there are a lot of nods to the X-Men comics, whichmake it finally feel like an X-Men TV series. But this isn't the X-Men universe we know or have seen on the big screen.

"With the X-Men comics, there are a lot of alt universes, so that has allowed me some leeway," Legion showrunner Noah Hawley told Variety. "And obviously it's a sort of origin story for David, but none of the other characters that I’ve surrounded him with are from the comics. It’s sort of an invented world."

We'll have to wait and see what Hawley and company has planned as the season progresses. Legion airs Tuesdays at 10 PM ET on FX.
