Legion and Star Trek: Discovery have been nominated for the 77th annual Peabody Awards, which recognize the most compelling storytelling across television, radio and online media.
Produced by FX Productions and Marvel Television, Legion centers on David Haller (Dan Stevens), a powerful mutant mistakenly diagnosed with schizophrenia who, after years in and out of psychiatric institutions, learns that he's actually been tormented for most of his life by the psychic parasite known as the Shadow King. The second season of the drama premiered last week on FX.
