Legion - Jemaine Clement Joins Cast

In a panel that included a screening of the first half of the Legion pilot, Hawley also revealed on Sunday via Twitter from the stage that Jemaine Clement will be joining the first season of the show. While no details of the role the Flight of the Conchords co-star will play were given, I’ve learned it is a multi-episode arc for the actor. No premiere date was announced today but Legion is set to debut in 2017 on FX.

Hawley notes that the show takes place from David's offbeat perspective, so the plot could reveal different truths later. #Legion #NYCC

The pilot for @LegionFX is an intensely trippy psychological drama that is going to make X-Men fans lose their minds! #NYCC #NYCC2016

They just showed us the first half of the #Legion pilot and it's so damn good. Really awesome feel and vibe that is perfectly surreal. #NYCC
