LEGION: David Haller Knows What He Has To Do In The New Promo For The Season 2 Finale: "Chapter 19"
Well, after the events of last night's chapter, things are really not looking good for David. Now, in next week's Legion season finale, he'll be forced to make a decision that could change everything...
As we head into next week's season finale, the situation couldn't be any worse for David (Dan Stevens) as the plan he's meticulously built all season blew up in his face and the Shadow King (Navid Negahban) achieved exactly what he's wanted - and also recovered his own body, which can't be good news for anyone.
Meanwhile, the episode also featured one very cool X-Men callback as we saw an alternate reality David sport his classic comic look with the hair standing straight up and everything. It remains to be seen, however, if that dark reality will materialize in the prime timeline.
Watch the new promo for the season two finale, titled "Chapter 19," below:
Chapter 19

In which David fights the future.
Written by Noah Hawley; directed by Keith Gordon
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.
