Abstract: In this work we continue the investigation about the interplay between hypergeometric functions and Fourier-Legendre (extrmFL) series expansions. In the section "Hypergeometric series related to pi,pi2 and the lemniscate constant", through the FL-expansion of left[x(1x)ight]mu (with mu+1infrac14mathbbN) we prove that all the hypergeometric series sum_{ngeq 0}frac{(-1)^n(4n+1)}{p(n)}left[frac{1}{4^n}�inom{2n}{n} ight]^3,quad sum_{ngeq 0}frac{(4n+1)}{p(n)}left[frac{1}{4^n}�inom{2n}{n} ight]^4, quad sum_{ngeq 0}frac{(4n+1)}{p(n)^2}left[frac{1}{4^n}�inom{2n}{n} ight]^4,; sum_{ngeq 0}frac{1}{p(n)}left[frac{1}{4^n}�inom{2n}{n} ight]^3,; sum_{ngeq 0}frac{1}{p(n)}left[frac{1}{4^n}�inom{2n}{n} ight]^2 return rational multiples of frac1pi,frac1pi2 or the lemniscate constant, as soon as p(x) is a polynomial fulfilling suitable symmetry constraints. Additionally, by computing the FL-expansions of fraclogxsqrtx and related functions, we show that in many cases the hypergeometric phantomp+1Fp(ldots,z) function evaluated at z=pm1 can be converted into a combination of Euler sums. In particular we perform an explicit evaluation of sum_{ngeq 0}frac{1}{(2n+1)^2}left[frac{1}{4^n}�inom{2n}{n} ight]^2,quad sum_{ngeq 0}frac{1}{(2n+1)^3}left[frac{1}{4^n}�inom{2n}{n} ight]^2. In the section "Twisted hypergeometric series" we show that the conversion of some phantomp+1Fp(ldots,pm1) values into combinations of Euler sums, driven by FL-expansions, applies equally well to some twisted hypergeometric series, i.e. series of the form sumngeq0anbn where an is a Stirling number of the first kind and sumngeq0bnzn=phantomp+1Fp(ldots;z).
