FX handed the series based on the Marvel Comics character a third season renewal. This continues the network’s relationship with creator Noah Hawley, who has been praised for his unorthodox take on the Marvel series.

We are also grateful for the contributions of our executive producers, John Cameron, Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, and Jeph Loeb with Marvel Television, as well as our outstanding cast and crew of this groundbreaking show.”
