Despite ratings declines in its first two seasons, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow TV show wasn’t cancelled last spring. Still, its third season renewal makes sense, because it remained a top-three performer for The CW, during the 2016-17 television season. Can this spin-off of Arrow and The Flash keep drawing in viewers, or has the novelty worn off? Will DC’s Legends of Tomorrow be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned.
A DC Comics inspired CW action-adventure series, Legends of Tomorrow stars Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Arthur Darvill, Amy Pemberton, Dominic Purcell, Wentworth Miller, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Nick Zano, Tala Ashe, and Neal McDonough. Thanks to fracturing the timeline, in season three, the Legends have to restore all the anachronisms to their rightful timelines, before the time stream falls apart. However, Rip Hunter (Darvill) and the Time Bureau prompt them to disband, until Sara (Lotz) gets the band back together.
