How to watch Legion online: Stream the superhero drama for free

Alexandra Harris
By

The psychedelic and superhero genres are not easily mixed. Or, at least, they’re not easily mixed and mixed well. In this way, FX’s trippy Marvel comics show Legion defies all expectations. Created by Noah Hawley — a showrunner whose previous credits include Fargo and Bones—the series stars Dan Stevens as David Haller/Legion. Haller is a “mutant” man who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and is grappling with how to quell and control his power. The show is incredibly trippy and highly addictive, making it palatable to TV connoisseurs and comic book fans alike. Here’s how to watch Legion online.

Created By: Noah Hawley
Cast: Dan Stevens, Rachel Keller, Aubrey Plaza, Bill Irwin, Jeremie Harris
Number of Seasons: 3

How to watch Legion online in the U.S.

Hulu’s streaming service offers the cheapest and most comprehensive way to binge Legion. Not only does it house all three seasons of the show, but it also gives you a one-month free trial with access to its entire streaming library when you sign up for the monthly subscription. You can easily cancel the subscription free of charge once the month comes to an end. However, if you choose to continue it, the fee is only $6 per month with ads and $12 per month without. Alternatively, once you’ve finished your Legion binge and are itching for a wide array of options, you could splurge for the Hulu + Live TV subscription, which gives you access to over 60 live and on-demand channels for just $55 per month. Whichever subscription plan you choose, you can rest assured that they’ll all include Legion‘s complete folio.

If you’re looking for a different comprehensive monthly subscription that offers shows like Legion as well as other live TV channels, YouTube TV may be your perfect match. With the service, you can stream and record live TV programs from over 70 channels for just $50 per month. Plus, they offer a free 7-day trial that can be easily canceled at the week’s end. So, with a total of 27 episodes that clock in at about an hour each, you could finish binging Legion within the trial period and get off payment-free.

Finally, if you’re just looking to watch Legion without all the bells and whistles of a larger streaming plan, its episodes and seasons are available for individual purchase on Amazon Prime Video service. Each episode costs $3 and each season costs $20. Although this isn’t the cheapest option, it’s a refreshing no-frills way to watch Legion without having to worry about a trial time limit or monthly fee.

Unfortunately, FX has confirmed that season 3 of Legion serves as its final installment. Although fans of the series are saddened by its end, now is the perfect time to catch up on — or perhaps rewatch — the acclaimed superhero show without having stress about how to access any future episodes.

Peacock TV Free Trial: Stream as much as you want for free
Peacock TV home screen.

NBC's online streaming app Peacock TV, may be a relative newcomer in an increasingly crowded field of streaming apps, but it's certainly no slouch. It's become quite popular as a reliable way to stream classic NBC shows like The Office and 30 Rock, plus new shows and movies, live news and sports. Peacock is a bit unique in that it's both an on-demand streaming service like Hulu or Netflix while also offering a selection of live TV channels, despite costing much less than any of the best live TV streaming services. Even if it costs less, you'll still need a premium subscription, which probably leaves you wondering, is there a Peacock TV free trial? Let's find out.
Is there a Peacock TV free trial?

Just like there's no Disney Plus free trial, as of now, there's no Peacock TV free trial for the paid plans. The paid Peacock plans include the Premium and Plus tiers, which ring in at $5 per month or $10 per month, respectively. These packages give you complete access to the full library of Peacock shows, channels, and movies. The only differences between the two is that the $10/month Peacock Plus plan is ad-free and allows you to download and watch select shows and movies offline. You can still try Peacock without paying, though -- keep reading to find out how.

Amazon Prime Video Free Trial: Stream for a month for free

At this point, if you've never heard of Amazon Prime you're probably living under a rock because it is one of the largest ecommerce storefronts ever. But that's okay, all you need to know is that the online retailer's premium subscription comes with a boatload of great benefits and services. You might be a bit less familiar with Amazon Prime Video, though. Prime Video is Amazon's streaming service that competes with the likes of Netflix and Hulu, offering a wide variety of shows, movies, and Prime original series. There are a couple of ways to get Prime Video, but it's not free. However, if you're here, you're probably looking for an answer to the burning question: Is there an Amazon Prime Video free trial? We've got the answer, and more, below.
Is there an Amazon Prime Video free trial?
There is indeed an Amazon Prime Video free trial, but it's tied into the Prime free trial, which lasts for a month and may or may not be available to you. To see if you're eligible, you'll need to and check. The general rule is that the Prime free trial (and by extension, an Amazon Prime Video free trial) is available to Amazon accounts that have either never signed up for a Prime trial or have not had Prime -- either a trial or paid membership -- any time in the last 12 months.

The Prime free trial is usually for 30 days, similar to the Hulu free trial. If you're not eligible for the Amazon Prime Video free trial, though, then be patient: Sometimes, Amazon will sometimes offer free trials to its loyal customers, so if you have an Amazon account (but not a Prime membership) and shop on the site regularly, you might find a Prime trial offer sitting in your inbox one day. Often, though, these are shorter seven- or 14-day trials rather than the 30-day trial. Nonetheless, it's obvious that Amazon is a bit more generous with these trial periods than other services -- there's no Disney+ free trial or Netflix free trial, for example, but it's thankfully much easier to get an Amazon Prime Video free trial.

HBO Max Free Trial: Can you stream hit shows for free?

Because so many networks now have their own streaming services, and with hundreds of movies and shows to choose from, you'll never know if a streaming platform is quite right for you until you sit down to watch some content. Yet, most require a premium subscription before you get access to the best content they have to offer. Luckily, a great way to test out various services, like HBO Max is to take advantage of a free trial -- there's a Showtime free trial, for example, and that's not the only service that offers free trials. So, if you're here specifically looking for an HBO Max free trial, we've got all the insight you need to know about the service, including available deals, and whether or not there's a trial to leverage. Read on to learn everything you need to know about the HBO Max free trial.
Is there an HBO Max free trial?

There's no widely available HBO Max free trial, unfortunately. When the streaming service first launched in May 2020, there was a free trial for seven days, but that offer has now expired. Since the release of Wonder Woman 1984, HBO Max requires you to sign up for a subscription although you can simply sign up for one month rather than commit for any longer than that. While it's not ideal that you need to pay up, the best shows on HBO Max are numerous so you're going to get your money's worth here. Whether you're looking for the best Studio Ghibli movies or the best Christmas movies in the run-up to the holidays, HBO Max has you covered so there's good value to be had here.
