'X-Men' Spinoff ‘Legion’ Gets Picked Up by FX With ‘Fargo’ Executive Producer

Legion, the X-Men spinoff that has been tantalizing Marvel fans forever, has officially found a home at FX Networks. It was announced on Tuesday that Noah Hawley, the mastermind of the Fargo TV adaptation, will serve as executive producer, along with a host of other producers, including Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg.

Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) will star as David Haller, a troubled man who may be a mutant (and whose father may be Dr. Charles Xavier!). The first season will be eight episodes and debut on FX in early 2017.
