It shows “Downton Abbey” actor Dan Stevens as David Haller, a man diagnosed with schizophrenia, who has struggled with mental illness since he was a teenager.

Eight episodes have been ordered for season one based off the strength of the show’s pilot. Production is being handled by FX Productions in association with Marvel Television.
Cast also includes ‘Fargo’ alums Rachel Keller as Syd and Jean Smart as Melanie, along with Aubrey Plaza as Lenny, Jeremie Harris as Ptonomy, Bill Irwin, Katie Aselton and Amber Midthunder.
It’s set to air early 2017 on FX.
