During the Television Critics Association press tour today FX Networks & FX Productions CEO John Landgraf confirmed that Legion's upcoming third season will be its last.

Apparently, showrunner Noah Hawley always planned for the series to run for only three seasons and the decision to end it now comes as a result of him and the network wanting to close the story the way he always intended. That sounds plausible enough but the timing here is definitely suspect.

Bear in mind that Disney will own FX in a matter of months and the rights to characters from the world of the X-Men will return to Marvel Studios. While Legion and The Gifted are sort of set in their own world, there's no way Kevin Feige - or Disney - will want these random characters running around doing their own thing and confusing moviegoers.

With that in mind, you have to believe that The Gifted is next for the chopping block and with the Marvel TV shows ending on Netflix, we could see Marvel Television slowly gotten rid of as Marvel Studios takes charge of these small screen stories.

As for Legion, it's a shame to see it go but at least the series is getting a proper ending!

We found out earlier on tonight that this upcoming third season of FX's Legion would be the last, but it looks like the excellent series intends to go out with a bang.

The character's appearance has been teased repeatedly over the course of the first two seasons, but when the show returns in June we'll finally be introduced to a new small-screen incarnation of Professor Charles Xavier.

Showrunner Noah Hawley has announced that former Game of Thrones actor Harry Lloyd will play Professor X, while Danish Mr. Robot actress Stephanie Corneliussen will also appear as David Haller's mother, Gabrielle.



What do you guys think about this casting news? Are you disappointed that Legion is ending? Sound off down below.
