Legion season 2 lands April premiere petsa on FX 

Prepare yourselves to trip back through the psychedelic mind of David Haller (

season 2 premieres in just two months. FX announced Tuesday that Noah Hawley’s mind-warping

-based drama series will return with new episodes on Tuesday, April 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

This means we’ll finally find out what happened to the all-powerful psychic mutant, last seen getting sucked into a strange mechanical ball and floating off to the unknown. Meanwhile, Jemaine Clemente’s Oliver found himself the new host of Amahl Farouk (a.k.a. the Shadow King) as they hit the road in search of “someplace warm.”

In addition to a new still image (shown above), FX offered more clues on what to expect with the season 2 return: “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 organization, Division III. Meanwhile, Amahl Farouk (Navid Negahban) is on a new path to attaining infinite and world-ending power.”

Farouk commonly took the form of Aubrey Plaza’s Lenny in

season 1 while feeding off of David, who mistook his telepathic powers for schizophrenia. Negahban (

will now appear in the role for season 2, alongside Plaza’s return.

“Lenny and Oliver are being used by this character, Amahl Farouk,” Hawley, an executive producer, told EW. “He wears their faces from time to time. It’s his way of hiding himself. I had this thought of, ‘What does Freddy Krueger do during the day?’ I thought it was interesting, the idea of the downtime of these characters. They’re not being used and so what is reality like for them? They’re being placated, that they’re in some place beautiful that may not actually be a physical space, it may be a mental space, like an astral plane. They have everything they need, they’re by the pool, it’s beautiful, but at a certain point, there’s part of them that realizes that they’re just trapped in this reality they don’t have any control over.”

Rachel Keller, Jeremie Harris, Bill Irwin, and Jean Smart will also return.
