FX has unveiled the first official trailer for the psychological thriller series Legion.

The show is a collaboration between FX and Marvel and is essentially an X-Men TV series.

Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens appears as David Haller, a troubled young man who has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years, and who begins to wonder if the voices he hears and visions he sees might be real after a strange encounter – in the comics, Haller is the son of Professor X.

The series also stars Rachel Keller, Jean Smart, Katie Asleton, Jeremie Harris, Amber Midthunder, Bill Irwin, and Aubrey Plaza. Legion will debut on FX in early 2017.

Simon Kinberg, Bryan Singer and Lauren Shuler Donner serve as executive producers on the series.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
