Four New Legion Season 1 Promos Released

With its debut being one month away, FX has released a quartet of promos for Legion — a television series that is (very) loosely-based on characters from Marvel's X-Men universe.

The first trio of promos are part of a "Sphere" series. In it, David, Amy, and Syd discuss their inner thoughs with a pyschiatrist. As the camera pans back, their features begin to distort like a circus mirror, showing each of them inside of a sphere. The "Unrestrained" promo features David Haller in a white, padded room and wearing a straightjacket. His eyes dart around as he listens to the voices in his head.

Legion is the story of a troubled young man who may be more than human. It introduces the story of David Haller, who since he was a teenager, has struggled with mental illness. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he's confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.
