Legion has just begun, but the ending is already in mind. Series boss Noah Hawley already has multiple seasons with the “whole story” mapped out, per THR:
“It was always designed as a series, not a limited or a miniseries or an anthology like Fargo. But even within that, it’s always very important to me to know where the story’s going when I’m starting, because the best stories I feel are the ones where there’s foreshadowing and you’re laying in clues and you’re creating something that’s just as exciting to watch the second time, because now that the plot is out of the way and you know what happens, you can see all the ways in which we laid in ideas that are only really clear once you know what the whole story’s about.”
The show will need to gain a legion of fans for the endgame to come into view, and Hawley isn’t willing to make any predictions:
“I have no real ability to judge,. It seems like such a specific show, that it’s hard for me to judge. Is it something that people want? Do a lot of people want it? Do a few people want it? But my hope was that if I made something that interested me, and if I did it with enough confidence and enough playfulness, then maybe the world might respond.”
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the renew/cancel status of Legion Season 2 and potentially beyond…
