FANS of the CW series Legends of Tomorrow were hit with some news in April 2022.
The CW has officially made a decision regarding the future of the superhero series.
Did the CW cancel Legends of Tomorrow?
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has officially been canceled by the CW network.
Co-showrunner, Keto Shimizu, took to Twitter on April 29, 2022, to break the news to fans:
“We are heartbroken, but also immensely grateful for the amazing work our cast, crew, and writers have contributed to the little show that could,” he wrote.
“Thank you to our fans; your love and passion for our strange band of misfits has made every break, every script, every daily, every cut, and every mix worth all the hard work. We see you, we love you, and you’ll always have a place on the Waverider.”
The superhero-filled show premiered on the network back in January 2016 and ran for seven seasons and a total of 110 episodes.
What other shows has CW canceled?
Legends of Tomorrow is the second series canceled in April – Batwoman also joined the list of discontinued DC Comics-based shows.
With their exit, the CW network is left with a much smaller DC roster for the 2022-23 year.
As of now, the network has only renewed The Flash and Superman & Lois for next season.
Other shows renewed for 2022-23 by CW include:
- All American
- Kung Fu
- Nancy Drew
- Riverdale
- Walker
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a reason for these changes might be the fact that “the network is also facing big changes as parent companies Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global consider a sale of the broadcaster, with local TV giant Nexstar considered the leading candidate.”
Who was on the cast of Legends of Tomorrow?
The cast of the now-canceled DC series included the following:
- Caity Lotz as Sara Lance
- Brandon Routh as Atom
- Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Amaya Jiwe
