Every Upcoming Superhero TV Show Of 2017 - Ranked By Anticipation

4. Legion - Season 1

Danny Rand Iron Fist
FX

A new X-Men TV show, albeit not one actually set in the same universe as the movies, this will centre on David Haller, son of Charles Xavier (just not the Stewart/McAvoy one), and a mutant who was diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age.

A show that'll tackle both mutants and mental health is an interesting idea, and based on everything we've seen for far it's looks like a truly strange, trippy beast. Dan Stevens is a great lead, with solid support from the likes of Aubrey Plaza and Rachel Keller.

There's a chance it could be too weird to really make a coherent series, but a big cause for optimistic comes from the fact it's created by Noah Hawley, who - with Fargo - has already given us one of the best TV series of the decade.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
