Showrunner Noah Hawley and Director Brian Singer have indicated the show is connected to the films, but we’ve seen little evidence to that fact in the first half of episodes.
The renewal comes with only three episodes remaining in the eight-episode Season 1, and it’s on the heels of some other exciting news.
Bringing in Stewart would bring more fans to the series, which has struggled to find a large audience in its inaugural season.
Just a couple weeks ago, we reported that Patrick Stewart was 100% down for appearing as his iconic X-Men character Charles Xavier in the series, which would be huge news for Season 2 of Legion.
