LEGION Third And Final Season Poster Is One Helluva Psychedelic Trip
Following last week's premiere date announcement, FX Network has released the first official poster for the third and final season of Noah Hawley's critically-acclaimed X-Men spinoff series, Legion.
FX has released the official poster for the third and final season of Legion, and while it doesn't necessarily provide any clues about what's to come, it does seem to confirm that David Haller's (Dan Stevens) final bow will be one hellluva psychedelic trip.
Outside of Haller, the poster also features Syd Barrett (Rachel Keller), Lenny Busker (Aubrey Plaza), and the Shadow King (Navid Negahban), who will all have a key role to play in the final season of the critically-acclaimed X-Men spinoff series, which is set to premiere Monday, June 24.
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.
