FX’s Legion is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a man who may be the most powerful mutant alive. He’s also possibly schizophrenic. Along with a team of fellow mutants, he learned he was possessed by Amahl Farouk (Navid Negahban) a parasitic mutant with dreams of world domination.
In Season 1, David and his friends were able to separate Farouk from his body… But they lost David’s best friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza) and another powerful mutant, Oliver Bird (Jemaine Clement) in the process.
In Season 2, Farouk is back and looking for his body. If he finds it, he’ll be able to take over the world. So why is David helping him?
The show also stars Rachel Keller as David’s true love Sydney “Syd” Barrett; Bill Irwin and Amber Midthunder as Cary and Kerry, two mutants who share the same body; Jeremie Harris as Ptonomy Wallace, a man with the power to enter other people’s memories; Jean Smart as Melanie Bird, Oliver’s long suffering wife and the former leader of the team; and Hamish Linklater as Clark Debussy, a former antagonist and now ally of David’s.
