The second season of FX’s Legion looks set to be even weirder than the first.

Sadly for UK fans, nothing will be released in Britain until later this month.
How to watch Legion season 2 online
As yet there is no way to watch Legion season two online.
The Marvel series is broadcast on FX in the US and FOX in the UK.
However, once it begins airing on FOX UK, episodes will be added to streaming platform NOW TV.
So subscription holders to the service will be able to stream season two shortly after its initial television broadcast.
Season one was added to Amazon Instant Video after it aired, so it is likely that season two will be included on the site later this year.
For now though, the only way to watch is to tune in on Tuesday nights on FX in America or on FOX UK from April 17 in Britain.
What the plot of Legion season 2?
Legion is the story of David Haller (played by Dan Stevens), who believed he was schizophrenic only to discover that he is the strongest mutant in the world.
The official synopsis from FX reads: “From childhood, David shuffled from one psychiatric institution to the next until, in his early 30s, he met and fell in love with a beautiful and troubled fellow patient named Syd (Rachel Keller).
“After Syd and David shared a startling encounter, he was forced to confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real.
“Syd led David to Melanie Bird (Jean Smart), a demanding but nurturing therapist who heads a team of specialists – Ptonomy (Jeremie Harris), Kerry (Amber Midthunder) and Cary (Bill Irwin) – each of whom possesses a unique and extraordinary gift.
“Together, they helped David to recognise and harness his hidden powers. With their support, David finally unlocked a deeply suppressed truth – he had been haunted his entire life by a malicious parasite of unimaginable power.
“Known as the Shadow King, this malevolent creature appeared in the form of David’s friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza), but is actually an ancient being named Amahl Farouk.”
The end of season one saw the newly formed team engage in an epic showdown with the Shadow King, forcing it from David’s body only for it to transfer into Melanie’s husband Oliver Bird (Jemaine Clement) and then escape.
According to FX: “Just when they thought they’d earned a moment of respite, a mysterious orb appeared and took David away to an unknown place.
“With David and Oliver missing and Farouk on the loose, the team forms an unlikely alliance with their former enemy Clark (Hamish Linklater) and his well-funded government organisation, Division III.
“Meanwhile, Amahl Farouk (Navid Negahban) is on a new path to attaining infinite and world-ending power.”
Legion season 2, episode 2 airs on April 10 on FX in the US.
Legion season 2 will premier in the UK on April 17 on FOX UK at 9pm.
