If you’re familiar with Patrick J. Adams, then chances are you know him best from playing Mike Ross on Suits. Perhaps some of you reading this may have only recently learned about him from watching Taylor Sheridan’s The Madison within the last week. But how many remember when he played a superhero on the DC TV series Legends of Tomorrow? Adams had a funny response when he was asked about this while talking about the new Paramount+ subscription-exclusive series.

The actor’s short stint as Hourman, leader of the Justice Society of America, in two 2016 episodes of Legends of Tomorrow was brought up by CBR while he was being interviewed alongside Elle Chapman and Amiah Miller, two other series regulars on The Madison. Adams was specifically asked if he was done playing superheroes, and when both actresses were surprised to learn about his previous experience in the genre, he jokingly requested:

Of all the reasons Patrick J. Adams could end up leaving The Madison, which has already been renewed for a second season, I think we can safely keep ‘the writers and producers discovered he was on Legends of Tomorrow’ off the list. Also, to be fair, he wasn’t given a whole lot to do as Hourman, and it happened at the height of his Suits fame (he’d leave the show two years later), so I don’t blame Chapman and Miller for not knowing about this portion of his resume. Adams then continued:

Patrick J. Adams’ Hourman, real name Rex Tyler, first appeared in the Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 finale when he crashed a future version of the Waverider in front of the team in 2016, then warned them not to get back on their present day ship. Then in Season 2’s second episode, it was revealed that this version of Rex suddenly faded from existence in front of him, and the Rex they met later when the traveled to 1942 was a younger version who’d never met the Legends. After the Legends and Justice Society teamed up, Rex was later killed by Reverse-Flash. He was never even shown using Miraclo, which gives him superhuman strength, durability, stamina and agility for an hour at a time.

With so many upcoming DC TV shows and upcoming Marvel TV shows, not to mention movies, I wouldn’t be surprised if there comes a day when Patrick J. Adams is potentially looked at to play a different superhero role. Or maybe he could play a villain next time around. But for now, you can see him playing Russell McIntosh on The Madison, with the entirety of Season 1 being available to streaming on Paramount+.

Before Olivia Swann started playing NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey on NCIS: Sydney, which just premiered its third season on the 2025 TV schedule, she was best known for playing Astra Logue in Legends of Tomorrow. Unfortunately, the Arrowverse series was canceled after seven seasons despite the Season 7 finale ending on a major cliffhanger. Needless to say this hurt the Legends cast, but three years later, Swann told CinemaBlend what helped soften the blow of this disappointing news.

After discussing NCIS: Sydney topics like how the show should cross over with the main NCIS and fans shipping Mackey and Todd Lasance’s JD, I wrapped up my recent interview with Olivia Swann by asking how she reacted back in 2022 when she learned that back in 2022 that Legends of Tomorrow Season 8 wasn’t happening. She first shared with me that the news didn’t come entirely as a shock to her, saying:

Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 ended on March 2, 2022, and close to two months later, The CW announced that the series had been canceled. Batwoman was canceled around the same time, and The Flash concluded after nine seasons in 2023, bringing an end to the Arrowverse. As Olivia Swann explained, though, she and her castmates already had an idea that the Season 8 prospects were not looking good.

Sadly, we’ll never learn what happened to the Legends after they were arrested by the Time Police alongside Donald Faison’s Mike, who was revealed to be Booster Gold. Nevertheless, Olivia Swann greatly enjoyed her time working on Legends of Tomorrow and is thankful for how it helped push her career forward. In her words:

Legends of Tomorrow was the third Arrowverse series to be released, spinning out of both Arrow and The Flash. Swann debuted as Astra Logue as a recurring character in Season 4, and then was a series regular for the remainder of the show’s run. Astra was initially an antagonist who’d been banished to Hell as a young girl by a remorseful John Constantine, but she ultimately found redemption and joined the Legends. She also entered into a romantic relationship with teammate Behrad Tarazi in the final season.

You’re welcome to revisit Olivia Swann’s time on Legends of Tomorrow by streaming the series with a Netflix subscription. Otherwise, catch her in new episodes of NCIS: Sydney Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on CBS, with episodes becoming available to watch with a Paramount+ subscription afterwards.

There are few novelties within the media landscape that can be more enjoyable than good crossovers. For years now, creatives have found intriguing ways to cross-pollinate properties. Said events are especially common when it comes to TV shows, and viewers have certainly been treated to some entertaining productions involving multiple series mixing it up. On that note, we’re going to talk about 32 particularly excellent small-screen mashups. 

Batman/The Green Hornet

The 1960s series Batman and The Green Hornet linked up in a few small ways during their runs, but their most prominent crossover occurred during a two-part episode of the former show. “A Piece of the Action” and “Batman’s Satisfaction” saw Gotham’s protectors forge an uneasy alliance with the Hornet and Kato, and the result was a truly action-packed hour of pulpy goodness.

Full House/Family Matters

Remember the time Family Matters’ Steve Urkel appeared on Full House? In Season 4’s “Stephanie Gets Framed,” the Urk Man traveled from Chicago to San Francisco for a science fair and ended up giving Stephanie Tanner advice regarding her new glasses. The result was a relatively sweet installment, which built a solid bridge between two of ABC’s best TGIF comedies.

The Jetsons/The Flintstones

The respective casts of Hanna-Barbera’s prehistoric and futuristic animated sitcoms finally came together in the 1987 TV movie The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones. During the special, the two groups walked a mile in each other’s shoes via time travel, and the result was a fun piece of work that could make you yell Yabba Dabba Doo!

The Beverly Hillbillies/Petticoat Junction/Green Acres

It’s no secret that CBS’ The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction and Green Acres are all set within the same fictional universe. All three shows crossed over multiple times, but the sweetest example was arguably the Hillbillies Season 7 episode “The Thanksgiving Spirit,” in which the casts of the three comedies warmly shared a meal together.

St. Elsewhere/Cheers

Both Cheers and St. Elsewhere are set in Boston, so it was only fitting that a connection was built between the two NBC shows. The crossover occurred during Season 3 of the medical drama, when several doctors visited the titular pub from one of the best sitcoms of all time. Come for the intrigue of the mashup, and stay for Rhea Perlman’s Carla Tortelli chewing out a group of medical professionals.

Diff’rent Strokes/Hello, Larry

Honestly, Hello, Larry wasn’t all that interesting on its own, but its three two-part crossovers with fellow NBC sitcom Diff’rent Strokes were solid. The final meetup between the two casts, “Thanksgiving Crossover,” was particularly enjoyable and highlighted character dynamics in fun ways.

Boy Meets World/Sabrina The Teenage Witch

Fan-favorite Sabrina the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart briefly appeared as her eponymous character during the closing tag for the Boy Meets World Season 5 episode, “The Witches of Pennbrook.” Her appearance may not be considered canon now, but it was certainly cool to see at the time. 

Scooby-Doo/Josie And The Pussycats

Throughout the two-season run of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Mystery Inc. ran into a number of notable people – both real and fictional. It was only fitting that the sleuths met up with their fellow Hanna-Barbera-birthed peers from Josie and the Pussycats. The two gangs teamed up to solve a mystery in “The Haunted Showboat,” resulting in a fun romp.

NCIS/NCIS: Los Angeles/NCIS: Hawai’i

In early 2023, NCIS’ first triple crossover debuted, bringing together characters from the mothership show as well as the Los Angeles and Hawai’i spinoffs. The shows’ respective teams joined forces to investigate the apparent suicide of a retired military official. It can be said that this Avengers-style event was well worth the wait.

Happy Days/Laverne & Shirley

Within the fictional TV universe co-created by producer Garry Marshall, Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley cross-pollinated multiple times. One of the most notable instances of that was with the two-part crossover “Shotgun Wedding,” in which Shirley and Laverne became engaged to Richie Cunningham and the Fonz to save them from arranged marriages.

The Mask: Animated Series/Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

Both Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask: Animated Series were adapted from Jim Carrey movies, so it was only right that they both crossover. The two-part event – which was spread across both shows – was a truly wild romp that involved brain-switching shenanigans, a trip to space and more.

Friends/Mad About You

Amid all the truly strong and ridiculous Friends episodes, is the memorable two-parter, “The One with Two Parts.” The installments see Joey Tribbiani falling for Phoebe Buffay’s twin sister, Ursula, from Mad About You. The fun episodes also featured cheeky cameos from Helen Hunt and Leila Kenzle, who appeared as their MAU characters.

The Golden Girls/Empty Nest/Nurses

Three-show crossovers can be tricky, but NBC pulled off a fun one in 1991 with The Golden Girls, Empty Nest and Nurses. “Hurricane Saturday” saw the characters of the Florida-based sitcoms weathering a massive storm and humorously crossing paths as they did so.

The King Of Queens/Everybody Loves Raymond

Due to a retroactive bridge being retroactively built between them, Everybody Loves Raymond and The King of Queens crossed over multiple times throughout their runs. One of the best of those, however, is the first crossover, which occurred in the Queens Season 1 episode “Road Rayge.” It’s a funny episode that sees Doug Hefferman and Ray Barone striking up a friendship after meeting at the DMV.

Power Rangers In Space/Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation

Power in Space’s “Shell Shocked” marked the realization of a Saturday morning dream, as it saw the rangers team up with the heroes in a half shell. These iterations of the amphibious martial arts masters hailed from Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation (a show that shouldn’t have been canceled after one season). The Turtles were mind-controlled by the Rangers’ nemesis, Astronema, who uses them to take over the power team’s Megaship.

The Office (U.S.)/The Office (U.K.)

Both iterations of The Office collided when Ricky Gervais’ David Brent popped up on a Season 7 episode of the U.S. series. During that installment, he and his American counterpart, Michael Scott (Steve Carell), ran into each other. I don’t know what’s funnier: the two abrasive bosses getting along so well or Michael awkwardly telling David that Dunder Mifflin wasn’t hiring.

Supergirl/The Flash

The Arrowverse showcased a number of great team-ups over the years, but the first was a fun crossover between The Flash and Supergirl, in which the titular hero of the former show found himself in Kara Danvers’ universe. As fun as the Supes Season 1 episode is, what’s even more amazing is that this event happened before the Melissa Benoist-led show moved from CBS to The CW to join its slate of DCTV fare.

Sister, Sister/Smart Guy

Fellow shows on The WB, fan-favorite Sister, Sister and Smart Guy seemed like the right fit for a crossover, with the former sitcom hosting it. The episode saw 10-year-old prodigy T.J. Henderson being recruited to tutor twins Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell for their SATs. T.J. ultimately employed some unconventional – but effective – methods to get the job done.

The Fairly Oddparents/Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius

Few cartoon crossovers can match the greatness of the three-hour-long crossovers between Nickelodeon’s The Fairly Oddparents and Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. Known as The Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour, the episodes saw Neutron and Timmy Turner coming into interdimensional conflict on multiple occasions. Even today, seeing characters from two of the best Nick shows of the 2000s is downright delightful.

New Girl/Brooklyn Nine-Nine

I’m not sure anyone could’ve predicted that a crossover between New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine would happen, but that’s exactly what fans were treated to in 2016. This was a two-part event spread across both comedies, and it was certainly fun to see Andy Samberg’s Jake Peralta, Zooey Deschanel’s Jessica Day and more mix it up.

Luke Cage/Iron Fist

After much demand from the fans, Netflix’s Luke Cage featured a true superhero tag team between the show’s eponymous character and Danny Rand of Iron Fist. While reception to the latter show and its protagonist had been relatively underwhelming, fans loved what was done with Rand on Cage. All in all, it was a team-up worthy of the Heroes for Hire legacy.

The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air/In The House

One crossover that I’d argue is rarely talked about is the one that took place between The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and In The House. ITH’s “Dog Catchers” saw Alfonso Riberio guest star as Carlton Banks and Tatyana Ali as Ashley Banks. The story involved Carlton (inadvertently) alerting Marion Hill (LL Cool J) to the fact that friend Tiffany Warren’s (Maia Campbell) new boyfriend was two-timing her with Ashley.

The Simpsons/Futurama

“Simpsorama,” a Season 26 episode of The Simpsons, finally brought Springfield’s famous family into contact with the cast of Futurama. The Planet Express crew made their way to the present to prevent Homer and co. from causing a dire situation in the future. The crossover not only employed the kind of gags specific to both Matt Groening-produced shows but preserved the heart as well.

Scandal/How To Get Away With Murder

Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope and Viola Davis’ Annalise Keating finally met each other when Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder crossed over. The 2018 multi-episode arc saw the crisis manager and defense attorney join forces to collaborate on a class action case. Both actresses brought their A-game for what proved to be a truly emotional story, with some poignant social commentary.

Supernatural/Scooby-Doo

I’m not sure many people envisioned Supernatural bringing in the Scooby-Doo characters upon the announcement of a crossover in 2017. However, the episode, “Scoobynatural,” ultimately received high praise from critics and fans alike. Seriously, the sight of Sam and Dean Winchester aiding Mystery Inc. in a case (set against the backdrop of one of the animated franchise’s classic episodes) was so much fun.

The X-Files/Cops

Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like if The X-Files’ Mulder and Scully’s off-kilter adventures were ever presented in a format similar to Cops’? Well, look no further than the Season 7 episode “X-Cops,” as it put the two in such a situation. The idea may have sounded wild at the time, but it proved to be highly entertaining TV.

Archer/Bob’s Burgers

It’s rare that a crossover gets wilder than the one between Bob’s Burgers and Archer, which occurred in the later show. "Fugue and Riffs" featured an amnesiac Sterling Archer waking up to discover that he’s the head of the Belcher family from Bob’s. That episode was certainly fun, especially considering that H. Jon Benjamin voiced both Archer and Bob regularly anyways.

That’s So Raven/The Suite Life Of Zack & Cody/Hannah Montana

Disney Channel gifted children of the 2000s with a real treat when the three-way TV event That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana. It brought together the casts of the hit shows That’s So Raven, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Hannah Montana for a madcap meetup that’s still beloved today.

Doctor Who/Torchwood/The Sarah Jane Adventures

Series 4 of Doctor Who ended on a high note with a two-part finale that brought the eponymous Time Lord and his allies together with characters from two spinoff series, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. Not only did the Who writers manage to provide plenty of crossover craziness, but they also wrapped up a number of pivotal story arcs in the process.

Generator Rex/Ben 10

It’s not often that two awesome do-gooders link up on the small screen, and Ben 10/Generator Rex: Heroes United offered a shining example of that. While it was great to see the two eponymous characters ultimately team up, it was also cool to see them come to blows upon first making contact.

Bones/Sleepy Hollow

The notion of the cast of Sleepy Hollow and Bones coming together for a two-part story sounds weird on paper, and that’s because it is. Nevertheless, it was intriguing to watch Special Agents Seeley Booth and Temperance “Bones” Brennan team up with FBI Agent Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane to investigate a decades-old corpse on Halloween.

Arrow/The Flash/Supergirl/Batwoman/Legends Of Tomorrow

The producers behind “Crisis on Infinite Earths” did the impossible by uniting the casts of not two, three or four Arrowverse shows but all five series that were on the air at that time. What was even more impressive was that in addition to Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Batgirl being involved, Black Lightning’s eponymous hero was also in the mix. You’d be hard-pressed to find a small-screen crossover as massive as this one was.

Although NBC’s Constantine TV show was cancelled after just one season, that didn’t mark the end of Matt Ryan’s take on the popular DC Comics character. He resurfaced towards the end of 2015 in the Arrow episode Season 4 episode “Haunted,” and then in late 2017, he started recurring in Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 and was upgraded to a series regular the following season. Ryan continued to play the bisexual sorcerer until the Season 6 finale, though the actor stuck around in Season 7 to play scientist Gwyn Davies. Two years after Legends of Tomorrow was cancelled, co-creator Marc Guggenheim has clarified why the show stopped using Constantine, and the reasoning is so frustrating.

In addition to sharing his regrets over Earth-1’s Laurel Lance being killed off in Arrow Season 4, which happens to be his “least favorite” season, Guggenheim also spent some time on The Showrunner Whisperer talking about instances where he and the other Arrowverse creative minds were told by DC that they couldn’t use certain characters. As he says below, this is what happened with John Constantine:

So rather than the Legends of Tomorrow writers deciding that John Constantine’s story had run its course, it was DC that informed them that he could no longer appear on the series. So in the Season 6 finale, even though Constantine came back to life, he was once again damned after selling his soul to a demon, and needed to walk a different path from the other Legends. So he bid farewell to Zara Tarazi, his former love interest, and left her with a key that was revealed to lead to pocket dimension in Hell that looked like a replica of his house.

You may be asking yourself now why DC told the Legends of Tomorrow team that John Constantine could no longer be used. Well, when The Showrunner Whisperer host Andy Behbakht brought up how there had been rumors that the character was “pulled,” Marc Guggenheim said there were “probably a lot of truths of that rumor,” though he didn’t elaborate. Behbakht then noted how there was once a Constantine TV show that was being developed for Max, and that one could "put the pieces together” with that information. Guggenheim responded:

While it’s fortunate that Matt Ryan was able to stay on Legends of Tomorrow until it ended, I’m frustrated by how things turned out with the Arrowverse’s John Constantine. First off, though there are numerous instances of DC deciding that only one live-action version of a character can exist at a time, some exceptions have been made, like with Grant Gustin and Ezra Miller’s versions of Flash, and Tyler Hoechlin and Henry Cavill’s versions of Superman. Why couldn’t the same have been done with Constantine?

More importantly though, like Guggenheim said, this Max Constantine series didn’t even end up happening! Announced in 2021, the project, which was being developed by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot productions and would have been set in the DC Extended Universe, was scrapped by the following year. It’s also likely this DCEU version of John Constantine would have appeared in the Justice League Dark series that Bad Robot was also working on, but it too was tossed aside in early 2023. So ultimately Matt Ryan’s Constantine was taken out of Legends of Tomorrow for nothing, making it all the more annoying that his story ended by a corporate mandate rather than for narrative reasons.

If you’d like to revisit Legends of Tomorrow, it can be streamed with a Netflix subscription. Otherwise, continue visiting CinemaBlend for the latest and greatest news about upcoming DC TV shows.

While there is still one upcoming DC show on The CW – Superman and Lois, which will return this fall on the 2024 TV schedule – the heyday of superhero shows on this network is long gone. Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Black Lightning and Batwoman dominated the network’s programming between 2012 and 2023, and they’d occasionally come together for epic crossovers, creating quite an interconnected world. However, those Arrowverse moments were not easy to make, and a producer got real about just how challenging it was to coordinate this television universe and their crossover events.

Marc Guggenheim, who served as the co-creator of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow and an executive producer on Supergirl, The Flash and Batwoman, got real about the headache-inducing logistics of planning crossovers on Multiverse of Color. He said these events were some of the hardest things to do when it came to these shows, and explained why, saying:

Adding to that, he broke down everything they had to consider when creating crossovers. They were dealing with multiple casts, crews, budgets and stories (among many other things), and it was a massive puzzle to solve, as he said:

He went on to say that there was a lot of trust between him, other producers and executives working on these massive shows, which helped. However, that does not diminish just how complicated these are.

Not only are there multiple complex storylines to figure out and integrate into one big story, but logistically, it sounds like a nightmare. He specifically cited “Crisis on Earth-X” – which aired in 2017 as a crossover of Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow, and was actually almost a “seamless movie” – as a particularly difficult one. This was because the cast had to play both their characters and their evil doppelgangers, doubling the screen time of all the actors.

Guggenheim then laid out some of those behind-the-scenes challenges they had to handle across the years when they were creating these massive crossovers. Using “Crisis on Infinite Earths” and a scene that involved tons of characters as his example -- which was a crossover between Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, and left many debating if it was the best or worst thing to happen to the Arrowverse -- he said:

Earlier in the interview, the producer explained that they’d schedule the shows so each one would have a day where they’d shut down so the cast could go work on a different series. He also noted that over time they got better at scheduling out and planning these episodes. However, it's still a stressful amount to juggle no matter how much practice you've had.

Adding to the complications, Guggenheim pointed out that when they were constructing these television events, they’d have to talk with every showrunner for each show, work out rights for footage from different DC projects and convince actors to say yes:

I also haven’t even brought up the scheduling challenges that came out of weather issues (because these shows were filmed in Vancouver) and problems with CGI and special effects...

All this is to say, these multi-show events were spectacular and a major moment in modern network television history. Understanding the work that went into them behind the scenes honestly makes them even better.

To go back and see these epic crossovers, you can stream Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow with a Netflix subscription. Various other DC shows, including some of the Arrowverse, like Batwoman, can be viewed with a Max subscription. And if you do go back to view these wild television events, make sure to give them a little extra appreciation now that you know just how hard they were to create.

Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller have been linked in many minds ever since Prison Break premiered back in 2005 with the duo playing brothers. They later teamed up again for The CW's Arrowverse as best friends/bad guys on The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. Now, the pair has landed their new joint project, which is great but also stressful news, considering what the show is going to be about!

The two actors are leads in a new TV project called Snatchback that is currently in development for Universal Television, according to Variety. If ordered to series, Snatchback will follow the journey of a team of highly skilled and privately contracted operatives with the mission of rescuing hostages from all over the world. The plot is inspired by the life of a real-life covert intelligence officer said to be still active in the field today, which certainly sounds like proof of authenticity for the stories! The rescues will involve missions in "some of the most exotic, and equally dangerous locations on the planet."

And if working on Snatchback involves traveling to those locations, I can't blame anybody for wanting to join, even if the plot sounds stressful! Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller went through their share of intensity as Lincoln Burrows and Michael Scofield in the original run of Prison Break as well as the 2017 revival for a fifth season. Miller shared at the time that reconnecting on The Flash motivated them to want to come back to Prison Break, and there were previously rumors that the revival would continue for a sixth season.

Prison Break of course did not get a second revival season, and the Arrowverse is effectively over as of the end of The Flash in 2023. The former on-screen brothers are able to reunite yet again thanks to the new project. Dominic Purcell is also an executive producer for Snatchback. Scott Rosenbaum is attached to the project as a writer, and he brings plenty of TV experience of his own, including work as writer/executive producer on The Shield, Chuck, and Queen of the South, to name just a few.

Neither of the two stars have publicly commented on Snatchback at the time of writing, but executive producer Tish Cyrus-Purcell – who is also married to Dominic Purcell – said in a statement:

While there is no shortage of action-packed crime dramas set for the 2024 TV schedule, Snatchback seems to have found a unique corner of the market with its basis on a real-life private hostage recovery team and missions across the globe. It remains to be seen if the project does score a series order, and where it ends up if so. It sounds like a better fit for a streaming service to me, but it would be fun to get the two stars back together on network TV.

For now, if you want to revisit their first collaboration as stars, you can find all five seasons of Prison Break streaming with a Hulu subscription. You can also find The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow both streaming via Netflix subscription.

In 2012, Arrow premiered on The CW and kicked off a shared universe of DC Comics properties on television. The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Batwoman and Black Lightning followed, and for nearly a decade, this franchise delivered interconnected stories that channeled the same appeal that their comic book source material had been doing for decades. Many superheroes were featured in the Arrowverse, but we’re here to talk about 32 that had major roles in the franchise.

Before going further, there are some stipulations to point out. First, these characters need to have been established in the comics as superheroes before they were introduced in the Arrowverse, hence why characters like Nia Nal/Dreamer, Sara Lance/White Canary and John Diggle/Spartan aren’t on here. Second, these characters need to be chiefly known as heroes in the comics, which is why the likes of Captain Cold, Heat Wave and Killer Frost won’t be mentioned. Finally, we’re only covering the six live-action shows that made up the main Arrowverse continuity, both pre and post-“Crisis on Infinite Earths,” so don’t go looking for people from shows like Superman & Lois and Stargirl.

Green Arrow

Arrow starred Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, and while he initially went by The Hood and The Arrow, this version of Oliver finally started going by Green Arrow in Season 4. In addition to his eight seasons leading Arrow, Amell’s Oliver participated in all the biggest Arrowverse crossover events. He died in “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” but fans got to reunite with him in the Arrow series finale and The Flash episode “It's My Party and I'll Die If I Want To.”

The Flash

Oliver Queen may have ushered in the Arrowverse, but it wasn’t until Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen got struck by that bolt of lightning that this franchise started getting truly fantastical and fully embracing its superhero roots. Barry protected the citizens of Central City for nine seasons of The Flash, and he was also present for every big Arrowverse crossover event. This Barry also had the unique privilege of being the only Arrowverse hero to cross over with the DCEU, as he met Ezra Miller’s Flash in “Crisis on Infinite Earths.”

Supergirl

Although Supergirl originally debuted on CBS, it was established to take part in the wider Arrowverse continuity when Barry Allen traveled to the Earth of Melissa Benoist’s Kara Danvers late in Season 1. Those ties only grew stronger once the show moved to The CW, and from there, Kara rounded out the Arrowverse’s main trinity of superheroes with Barry and Oliver Queen. At the end of “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” Kara’s Earth merged with the franchise’s main Earth, so Supergirl concluded its six-season run in the same world where the majority of her superhero cohorts now live.

Batwoman

Initially Batwoman starred Ruby Rose as Kate Kane, the same character who holds the mantle in the comics. However, following Rose’s exit post-Season 1, Ryan Wilder (seen above) was created to take over as the vigilante, with Javicia Leslie being cast to play her. Batwoman only lasted three seasons, but both Kate (later played by Wallis Day) and Ryan still stood out as important heroes before, during and after that time, with the former appearing in both the “Elseworlds” and “Crisis on Infinite Earths crossovers,” and the latter both reprising her role on The Flash and playing an evil speedster version of Ryan called Red Death early in Season 9.

Black Lightning

When Black Lightning came along, there was absolutely nothing connecting it to the Arrowverse. Jefferson Pierce’s return to superheroing unfolded in its own corner of the multiverse, but then “Crisis on Infinite Earths” came along and merged his Earth with the main Arrowverse Earth and Supergirl’s. Cress Williams would later reprise Jefferson for an episode of The Flash Season 8, but it was across Black Lightning’s four-season run where he shined best, with no one but the allies in his immediate circle on hand to help him out.

Black Canary

Five individuals held the Black Canary mantle in the Arrowverse: Sara Lance, the Laurel Lance from Earth-1, Evelyn Sharp, Dinah Drake (seen above), and the Laurel Lance from Earth-2. Of those five, the two Laurels and Dinah were able to unleash a sonic scream on their enemies, although Earth-1’s Laurel’s came from a device rather than as a metahuman ability like the other two. There had been plans for Katie Cassidy and Juliana Harkavy to continue respectively playing Earth-2 Laurel and Dinah alongside Katherine McNamara’s Mia Smoak in a Green Arrow & The Canaries spinoff, but it was never picked up.

The Atom

Brandon Routh’s Ray Palmer debuted at the beginning of Arrow Season 3, where he would unveil his A.T.O.M. exosuit. After initially having been presumed dead by the end of the season, Ray resurfaced in Season 4 having been revealed to be shrunken to the size of an atom, and he was able to incorporate shrinking into his exosuit. From there, he became one of the founding Legends of Tomorrow and stuck around on that show as a series regular until midway through Season 5.

Arsenal

By Arrow Season 3, Colton Haynes’ Roy Harper, who’d already appeared in the first two seasons, had taken up archery and joined Oliver Queen in fighting crime as Arsenal, though he was also called Red Arrow by the media. Although Roy had to leave Team Arrow that same season after he masqueraded as The Arrow and faked his death, he would still pop in and out of the show throughout the rest of Arrow’s run to help out his friends. He also followed in his comic book counterpart’s footsteps by gaining a cybernetic arm.

Speedy

The second Speedy in the comics was Mia Dearden, so it was only appropriate that Willa Holland's Thea Queen, who was a loose adaptation of the character, also received that name. When Roy left Star City, he left his Arsenal costume behind, and she made adjustments to it so she could wear it out in the field and join her brother Oliver as a bow-and-arrow-wielding superhero. Eventually she embarked on a personal crusade to battle the Thanatos Guild.

Vibe

Carlos Valdés’ Cisco Ramon was already a valued member of Team Flash at the beginning as its tech genius, but after he discovered he was a metahuman capable of manipulating dimensional energy, he became Vibe. Cisco took a metahuman cure in Season 5, but he continued to fight crime as Mecha-Vibe using a suit that provided him with some of his former powers until he left in Season 7 to join A.R.G.U.S.

Superman

I know, I said I wouldn’t include anybody from Superman & Lois on this list. However, in this case, I’m talking about the Superman from Earth-38/Earth-Prime. In other words, this is the Clark Kent who appeared on Supergirl and participated in “Elseworlds” and “Crisis on Infinite Earths.” We’d assumed he was also the one leading Superman & Lois until it was revealed that show is set on another Earth.

Martian Manhunter

Originally Supergirl viewers thought David Harewood was playing Hank Henshaw, the man who became Cyborg Superman in the comics. But early in Season 1, it was revealed that his character was actually J’onn J’onzz, a.k.a. Martian Manhunter, who assumed Henshaw’s identity to try and do good as the director of the Department of Extranormal Operations. Harewood would later play the sinister Henshaw for a few episodes, but it was J’onn who stuck around for all of Supergirl as one of Kara’s most important allies.

Elongated Man

Ralph Dibny gained his elastic powers from The Thinker’s machinations in The Flash Season 4, and after being stabilized, he joined Team Flash to help them fight crime as Elongated Man. Hartley Sawyer portrayed the character through to the end of Season 6, but after the actor was fired from the show, a stand-in performer was used for the Season 7 premiere. While healing from some major burns, Ralph decided to leave Team Flash to travel the world with Sue Dearbon and dismantle various criminal organizations.

Vixen

Although Mari McCabe, the Vixen from the comics, was played by Megalyn Echikunwoke in the Vixen and The Ray animated web series, as well as an episode of Arrow, it was the character’s grandmother, Amaya Jiwe (seen above), who got more attention in the Arroverse. An original character created for Legends of Tomorrow, Amaya, played by Maisie Richardson-Sellers, was active as Vixen during World War II as a Justice Society member, and after traveling through time with the Legends for a while, she returned to her original time period at the end of Season 3. Richardson-Sellers then stuck around a few more seasons as a shapeshifter named Charlie.

Firestorm

Just like in the comics, the Arrowverse’s original Firestorm duo consisted of Robbie Amell’s Ronnie Raymond and Victor Garber’s Martin Stein, with the two being recurring characters in The Flash Season 1. However, after Ronnie died in the Season 2 premiere, Stein merged a few episodes later with Franz Drameh’s Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (seen above), and the two went on to join the Legends of Tomorrow. That’s where they stayed until Stein died in the “Crisis on Earth X” crossover, prompting Jax to leave and resume his normal life.

John Constantine

Although NBC’s Constantine series only lasted one season, Matt Ryan was able to keep playing the trenchcoat-wearing sorcerer in multiple other ways, most notably in the Arrowverse. Following a guest appearance in Arrow Season 4, he returned two years later in Legends of Tomorrow, where he eventually became part of the team and hung around until the end of Season 6. Even then, Ryan remained on the series to play Gwyn Davies, the inventor of time travel.

Kid Flash

Depicted as Iris West’s long-lost brother rather than her nephew like in the comics, Keiynan Lonsdale’s Wally West was introduced midway through The Flash Season 2. After Season 3’s premiere showed him as the Kid Flash of the Flashpoint timeline, the main version of Wally gained super speed when Doctor Alchemy restored his powers from that other reality. Wally exited as a series regular at the beginning of The Flash Season 4, but would later make guest appearances in Seasons 6 and 9, as well as appearing in the latter half of Legends of Tomorrow Season 3.

Jay Garrick

After it was revealed that the Jay Garrick that viewers had been following along with in The Flash Season 2 was really the sinister Zoom, the real Jay was revealed at the end of that season to be a doppelgänger of Henry Allen from Earth-3. With John Wesley Shipp having played Barry Allen in The Flash TV show from 1990 (whom he also reprised in “Elseworlds and “Crisis on Infinite Earths”), it was only fitting that he also play this veteran speedster as well.

Thunder/Blackbird

If you’re making a show about Black Lightning, then it’s only appropriate that you include his superhero daughters too. The first of them was Nafessa Williams’ Anissa Pierce, a.k.a. Thunder, although there were also various instances where she went by the moniker Blackbird. Unlike her father and sister, Anissa didn’t generate and manipulate electricity, but rather was able to manipulate her density with her breathing, giving her super strength and durability.

Lightning

Like her superhero name clearly indicates, not only did Jennifer Pierce inherit the same kind of powers as her father, but she also had the added ability to generate electricity on her own rather than just manipulate it like Jefferson. China Anne McClain played Jennifer for the majority of Black Lightning’s run, but for a good chunk of Season 4, Laura Kariuki took over the role, though this was later revealed to be an ionosphere entity who stole her identity.

Mister Terrific

After being introduced in Arrow Season 4 as a Palmer Technologies employee who worked closely with Felicity Smoak, Echo Kellum’s Curtis Holt (rather than Michael Holt, like in the comics) officially joined Team Arrow at the beginning of Season 5, taking the identity Mr. Terrific, which had previously belonged to his favorite wrestler. Curtis stuck with the team until the end of Season 6, and from there he briefly worked for A.R.G.U.S., then took a job in Washington D.C.

Wild Dog

Instead of using Jack Wheeler from the comics, Arrow gave that superhero identity to the original character Rene Ramirez, played by Rick Gonzalez. Although frequently hotheaded, Rene was nonetheless another valued member of Team Arrow for many seasons, though there was a period where he, Curtis and Dinah formed their own group. Eventually, Rene retired from being Wild Dog and became mayor of Star City by the end of the show.

XS

While XS is indeed a character from the comics, The Flash’s version of her is a melding of her and Barry Allen’s daughter, who was known as Dawn in the comics. In this show, while it’s implied that’s what Jessica Parker Kennedy’s character used to be named too, changes to the timeline led to her being named Nora, after Barry’s mother. The original version of Kennedy’s Nora was erased from the timeline after Cicada’s dagger was destroyed, but fortunately, a new version of her came into being afterward.

Impulse

Rather than being Barry Allen’s grandson like in the comics, Jordan Fisher’s Bart Allen, a.k.a. Impulse, is depicted as Barry and Iris West’s son, i.e. Nora’s sister. Introduced towards the end of Season 7, and a speedster just like his father and Nora, Impulse shared a special connection with Jay Garrick and had already made an enemy out of Godspeed from his time period.

Guardian

In Supergirl, the Guardian mantle was held by the Olsen siblings rather than Jim Harper or Mal Duncan. James Olsen first started fighting crime as Guardian in Season 2, with Winn Schott making him his suit and shield. Then in Season 6, one season after Mehcad Brooks stopped playing James as a series regular, Azie Tesfai’s Kelly Olsen (seen above) took over as the new Guardian, although James did don his costume one last time in the series finale.

Citizen Steel

Nick Zano’s Nate Heywood joined Legends of Tomorrow at the beginning of Season 2, gaining the ability to transform his body into steel from an experimental serum. This power is more like Colossus’ from the X-Men than the Nate from the comics, but it was a welcome one to have until mustard gas eroded the steel in Season 7, which led to him retiring from the team. This version of Nate also simply went by Steel rather than Citizen Steel, not to be confused with the John Henry Irons Steel.

Mon-El

Hailing from Daxam, a planet populated by Kryptonian offshoots, Mon-El gained the same kind of superpowers as Supergirl when he landed on Earth. However, because he was a spoiled prince from the Daxamite monarchy, it took a while for him to start behaving like a hero. Mon-El and Kara fell in love, but while Chris Wood and Melissa Benoist married in real life, it wasn’t meant to be for the characters. Mon-El ended up traveling to the 31st century and joined the Legion of Super-Heroes.

Batwing

When Batwoman began, Luke Fox initially started out working behind the scenes to help Kate Kane out, having already been keeping Wayne Tower secure on Batman’s behalf. Then in Season 2, Campus Johnson’s character began his own superhero journey, one which culminated in him constructing a supersuit and becoming Batwing, just like in the comics.

Brainiac 5

Brainiac 5 was one of Mon-El’s teammates in the Legion of Super-Heroes, and together with Saturn Girl, they traveled back to the present day in Supergirl Season 3. By the end of that season, Winn Schott decided to travel to the future to stop an AI-killing virus, Jesse Rath’s Brainiac 5, a.k.a. Brainy, stayed in the present and became one of Supergirl’s most valued allies. He also formed a romantic relationship with Nia Nal.

Hawkgirl

Although both Hawkgirl and Harman appeared in Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 following their introductions in the “Heroes Join Forces Crossover,” Ciara Renée’s Kendra Saunders unquestionably had the bigger role. After her version of Carter Hall was killed by Vandal Savage, she joined the Legends to help try to defeat the villain across time. By the end of Season 1, Kendra and a later incarnation of Carter left after Vandal was finally killed for good.

Rip Hunter

Arthur Darvill’s Rip Hunter, one of DC Comics’ greatest time travelers, assembled the Legends of Tomorrow to help him stop Vandal Savage. Season 2 saw him bring brainwashed by the Legion of Doom, but fortunately, their programming was erased, and he then decided to leave the Legends after realizing he had nothing left to teach them. He then spent the next five years of his personal timeline forming the Time Bureau, but by the end of Season 3, Rip sacrificed his stop the demon Mallus.

Jesse Quick

Rather than being Jesse Chambers like in the comics, The Flash’s version of Jesse Quick was Jesse Wells, the daughter of Earth-2’s Harrison Wells. Violett Beane's character gained her super speed after being exposed to dark matter during an attempt to restore Barry Allen’s own speed. By Season 3, she began fighting crime on Earth-2, and occasionally on Earth-1, as Jesse Quick. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though Jesse was restored to life in the new multiverse created during “Crisis on Infinite Earths.”

While the Arrowverse is over, these 32 will be remembered as some of its most prominent superheroes, and there are plenty of others we could spend time talking about. They’re just among the many reasons why this franchise will continue being enjoyed for years to come.

In April 2022, The CW cancelled Legends of Tomorrow, which was especially unfortunate considering Season 7 ended on a cliffhanger, making it one of the many good TV shows that didn’t last long enough to finish the story. But another reason the Arrowverse series’ final episode was notable was because it guest-starred Donald Faison as Booster Gold, and had Season 8 happened, the plan was to bring him back. Not only that, it turns out his Scrubs co-star Zach Braff was being considered for a major role alongside him.

Legends of Tomorrow showrunner Keto Shimizu stopped by The Showrunner Whisperer podcast to talk about her time on working on the series, including how she reacted upon learning that the series had been abruptly ended. When host Andy Behbakht inquired about if she and the rest of the creative team considered having Braff play “someone close to Booster,” she confirmed that was indeed the case, saying:

Shimizu soon clarified she was referring to Skeets, Booster Gold’s floating robotic companion. For those unfamiliar with the character, in the comics, Booster, a.k.a. Michael Jon Carter, hails from the 25th century, and he was originally a star college football player before being busted for losing games on purposes tied to gambling. He then became a night watchman at a museum that had displays of superheroes and supervillains from the present day. With the help of Skeets, a security robot, Michael stole a Time Sphere and various other pieces of technology from the museum, and the two of them traveled back to our time so Michael could achieve fame and fortune as a superhero. Skeets especially comes in handy with providing Booster with historical knowledge stretching between the 20th/21st-25th centuries thanks to the records in his databanks. 

Given how Zach Braff and Donald Faison spent nearly a decade together respectively starring as JD and Turk on Scrubs, not to mention that they’re best friends in real life, casting the former as the voice of Skeets to the latter’s Booster Gold would have been stellar casting. Plus, as Keto Shimizu laid out below, it would have come with an additional benefit for the Legends of Tomorrow production: 

Braff previously told Slashfilm that he’d be game to the Ted Kord version of Blue Beetle, which also would have been fun to see considering that he and Booster Gold are best friends who frequently battle the forces of evil together. But as Shimizu pointed out, it would have been more costly to have Braff on the Legends of Tomorrow set, so having him voice Skeets would have been quite the money-saver, and certainly not a forced one considering how important Skeets is to Booster Gold’s lore.

Alas, with Legends of Tomorrow’s cancellation and the main Arrowverse continuity having concluded, the time of seeing a Donald Faison-played Booster Gold and a Zach Braff-voiced Skeets has passed. The good news, though, is that the upcoming DC TV show Booster Gold is in development for the DC Universe franchise, so we will get to see different live-action versions of these characters in the coming years. If you’re now in the mood to watch Legends of Tomorrow, stream it with a Netflix subscription.

Over the years, LGBTQ+ representation has increased exponentially, and it’s been a delight to see. However, one identity under the LGBTQ+ umbrella that arguably isn’t as commonly represented as others in mainstream media is asexuality. As of late though, there has been a small spike in ace representation, and there are some excellent examples of asexual characters from all across TV -- from comedy to animation to superhero shows. 

According to GLAAD’s Media Reference Guide, asexual is defined as:

With that in mind, let’s take a look at a few TV shows (many of which are some of Netflix’s best series) that have highlighted an asexual character. 

Todd Chavez In BoJack Horseman 

Not only is BoJack Horseman a beloved Netflix show (to the point Hulu even said it was one of their favorites), but Todd Chavez (voiced by Aaron Paul) is also considered one of the best representations of asexuality on TV. During Season 3 of the show, when a possible romantic interest asks him if he’s gay, Todd says:

His friend then lovingly comforts him. Then, in Season 4, Todd comes out to BoJack, and the two share a nice, and hilariously awkward, moment. As Sara Ghaleb wrote for Vox:

Between giving Todd a multi-season story arc to really delve into understanding his sexuality, and showing more than one asexual character in the series, BoJack Horseman really helped ace representation in media. 

O In Sex Education 

O is introduced in Sex Education Season 4 as Otis’ competition when he starts attending a new school. She’s a fellow sex therapist, and she gives lots of advice to the kids at her college. She’s also asexual and talks about it in the show. 

After Otis forces O’s hand during a debate, she comes out as ace. Then, when they’re both stuck in an elevator, she opens up about trying to be like the other kids and feeling “so much pressure to behave a particular way.” That’s why she started learning about sex and relationships through literature. However, when she found that she was actually quite fascinated by it all and good at helping people solve their problems, her clinic became her safe place. 

In the end, both Otis and O help each other out and, as a result, the viewers get a complex and nuanced asexual character.  

Isaac In Heartstopper  

During Season 2 of Heartstopper, one of the characters from Nick and Charlie’s core friend group goes on a journey of self-discovery when it comes to his sexuality. Throughout the season, Isaac starts to realize he’s asexual. After kissing a boy from school, he came to the conclusion that he didn’t want a romantic relationship with him. He then tells his friends it didn’t work out, and they fully accept him. He never outright says he’s asexual. However, during the season, he has a conversation with an older student about aromantic/asexual art, and he later picks up a book all about identifying as ace and little animated purple leaves float around him. 

Overall, Isaac’s story is so validating, and as the Netflix series moves into Season 3, it seems like fans will get to see more of his journey. Because this bookworm’s story has only just begun. 

Esperanza 'Spooner' Cruz In Legends of Tomorrow 

Esperanza “Spooner” Cruz, the telepathic hero in Legends of Tomorrow, came out as asexual in Season 7. In a short but meaningful scene, Spooner has a conversation with Zari 2.0. 

Zari asks if they want to play smash, marry, kill. However, when she lists men, Spooner says she’s not into them. She then asks if she’s into women, and Spooner replies with a no again. Then, when Spooner says “I don’t really get those types of feelings for anyone,” and says maybe the aliens made her that way, Zari immediately comforts her and says: 

That leads Spooner to respond with the following:

It’s a sweet and educational scene that also gives Spooner the vocabulary she needs to truly express her identity. 

Raphael Santiago In Shadowhunters  

In Season 2 of Shadowhunters, Raphael finds himself in a relationship with Isabelle, and she asks him if he's only with her because of the Shadowhunter's blood in their system. He said he had feelings for her, however, he was “just not interested in sex.” After she felt rejected and asked if being a vampire made him feel that way, Raphael corrected her, saying he’d always had those feelings.

Later on, the author of the Shadowhunter Chronicles, Cassandra Clare, confirmed his sexuality was canon in both the show and books, posting:

This moment was also quite historic in terms of ace representation. Every year, GLADD releases Where We Are On TV, and the ‘17/’18 report was the first time asexual characters were included. In that document, Raphael Santiago from Shadowhunters was “the only asexual character on all of cable television.” The only other ace character counted in that report was from the streaming realm -- Bojack Horseman's Todd. 

Lord Varys In Game Of Thrones

In Game of Thrones, Lord Varys, who played a pivotal role as the “Master of Whispers” in Kings Landing, is a eunuch. As GCN pointed out, while there are quite a few eunuchs in the show, they are sexually active. However, in Season 4, Varys explains that he really has no interest in sex or romance. During a conversation with Pedro Pascal’s Oberyn, he's asked if he’s into girls or boys, and he responds by saying “nothing.” Varys then continues, explaining:

When asked what he’s pursuing, Varys simply looks at the Iron Throne and walks away. While it’s never explicitly stated that he is asexual, his explanation to Oberyn makes it quite clear, and many consider this Game of Thrones character to be part of the ace community. 

Elijah In Big Mouth

Elijah (voiced by Brian Tyree Henry) was introduced in Season 6 of Big Mouth, which has received acclaim for its LGBTQ+ representation, and bringing in this young Black boy added an ace character into the show's diverse ensemble.  

In the series, Elijah and Missy start seeing each other, but he realizes he doesn’t have the same feelings she has. At dinner with his family, his aunt says he might be asexual, like her, and he realizes that he is indeed. Now, in regard to Season 7, EP Andrew Goldberg told Meta Critic that they are hoping to depict “the different ways that asexuality can express itself in a person.” 

Overall, asexual representation has a long way to go. However, in recent years, it’s gotten better, in great part due to characters like the seven listed above. 

For as much as fans like to complain about disappointing series finales — such as the Game of Thrones ending or the confusing conclusion of Lost, to name a couple — at least those TV shows can say they had the opportunity to have their final curtain call on their own terms. There are even more TV shows cancelled way too soon that were unable to complete their stories as intended and the following are some of the most notable examples.

Agent Carter (2015-2016)

Before Marvel TV shows were available with a Disney+ subscription, ABC was the home of series like Agent Carter, which followed the adventures of Hayley Atwell’s covert operative in the 1940s. Unfortunately, the series only lasted two seasons because, as Atwell told The AV Club, the network wanted to put the actor in something more “mainstream.” At least we got to see more of Peggy Carter in subsequent MCU movies and the animated anthology series, What If…?

Archive 81 (2022)

One of many, many examples of prematurely canceled Netflix TV shows you will see on this list is Archive 81, which ended on a shocking cliffhanger that had fans itching for more. Unfortunately, the mysteries surrounding that finale will be left unanswered by the horror series’ cancellation after one season. Plus, fans won’t find the closure they seek in the podcast it is based on, which ended its own first season in a much different way.

Ash Vs. Evil Dead (2015-2018) 

Bruce Campbell retired his most iconic character, Ash Williams, after Starz chainsawed this continuation of the Evil Dead movies after three seasons. According to Bloody-Disgusting, there were plans to build off of the Ash vs. Evil Dead finale’s apocalyptic cliffhanger for a Mad Max-style fourth season.

DC's Legends Of Tomorrow (2016-2022)

After seven seasons, acclaimed DC TV show, Legends of Tomorrow, was unexpectedly given the boot, much to the dismay of the cast, crew and fans, as EW reported in 2022. The time-traveling Arrowverse series left on a cliffhanger that saw the live-action debut of Booster Gold.

The Event (2010-2011)

What is The Event? We’ll never know for sure because NBC took this sci-fi thriller — starring Jason Ritter and Blair Underwood — out of orbit after one season due to low ratings, as Deadline reported. According to Assignment X, there was talk of wrapping up its mysterious story — about a conspiracy involving aliens — with a SyFy original movie that never happened.

Firefly (2002-2003)

In one of the most heartbreaking instances of a TV show ending too soon, Firefly was cancelled by Fox after 11 episodes, being a victim of an unfavorable time slot, a mixed-up episode order, a misleading marketing strategy, etc. While the 2005 feature-length spin-off film, Serenity, provided some closure, fans remain unsatisfied, knowing what great potential this clever fusion of a cosmic setting with western themes had.

First Kill (2022) 

This intriguing series based on a Romeo & Juliet-esque short story with a twist involving vampires and LGBQT+ themes only lasted one season on Netflix. First Kill showrunner Felicia P. Henderson told The Daily Beast that she believes the marketing — which downplayed the series’ supernatural elements in favor of highlighting its core teen romance — hindered its potential to gain more interest.

Forever (2014-2015)

ABC’s Forever turned out to be misnomer, as this crime drama starring Ioan Gruffudd as an immortal medical examiner met an early demise due to low ratings. Creator Matt Miller later revealed on Twitter (via TV Line) plans he had for Season 2, which included delving into the main character’s family history, hints that he inspired Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to create Sherlock Holmes, etc. 

Freaks And Geeks (1999-2000)

There had never been a teen TV comedy quite like Freaks and Geeks, which was expelled by NBC after suffering bad time slots and fierce competition for 12 episodes (out of the 18 that were filmed). However, it spawned a stunning legacy, inspiring coming-of-age TV dramedies since and jumpstarting the stellar careers of the Freaks and Geeks cast. 

The Get Down (2016-2017)

According to Esquire, Netflix declined to comment on exactly why The Get Down became the platform’s first original series to be cancelled after just one season. However, co-creator Baz Luhrmann would share in a Facebook post that the stylish dramatization of hip-hop's roots would not continue in part because of his commitment to his next feature-length effort, which turned out to be Elvis. 

The Glades (2010-2013)

The Glades had a Season 4 finale similar to Dallas’ iconic Season 3 cliffhanger, in which the main character gets shot. However, Dallas was actually given to opportunity to reveal who shot J.R. Ewing, but Jim Longworth’s shooter would remain unknown since A&E would cancel the acclaimed crime procedural. TVLine reported that Matt Passmore — who led the show as the Chicago-based cop transferred to the Everglades — claimed he knew the shooter’s identity, but was unable to say at the time.

Hannibal (2013-2015)

Developer Bryan Fuller’s reinterpretation of author Thomas Harris’ epic crime saga had a Season 3 finale similar to the ending of Thelma & Louise — Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal Lecter and Hugh Dancy’s Will Graham lunge themselves off the side of a cliff in each other’s arms — but with less satisfying results. Since NBC pulled the plug, Hannibal fans have since been hungry for a fourth season, which Dancy told Collider he would be open to, but adds it would be unlikely due to the financial cost.

Heels (2021-2023)

Stephen Amell followed his long tenure leading the Arrow cast by starring in this drama offering an inside-look at the professional wrestling word that Starz tossed out of the ring in 2023. Showrunner Mike O’Malley shared with EW his ideas for Heels Season 3 if the series wer find a new home.

Heroes (2006-2010)

Despite its stellar debut, EW reported that Heroes was on a steady decline in viewership before NBC sealed its downfall after four seasons. While the acclaimed twist on comic book lore series would continue in 2015 in the the form of Heroes Reborn, even that was cancelled and was ultimately dubbed a “limited series revival,” according to TV By the Numbers.

How I Met Your Father (2022-2023)

Fans were not happy that Hulu cancelled How I Met Your Father before it could confirm the identity of the man Hilary Duff’s Sophie was destined to marry. At least it lasted longer than the previous attempt at a gender-swapped How I Met Your Mother spin-off, which never made it past the unaired pilot.

I Am Not Okay With This (2020)

Showrunner Jonathan Entwistle was certainly not okay with Netflix axing his adaptation of Charles S. Forsman’s graphic novel, I Am Not Okay With This, due to the Covid-19-related costs, apparently. According to Insider, the plan was to complete the story of a 17-year-old discovering she has special powers in two seasons, only to learn it would be not renewed after the scripts were written.

Joan Of Arcadia (2003-2005)

While critics likely prayed to see it continue, CBS opted not to renew Joan of Arcadia for a third season. According to EW, the Emmy nominated series starring Amber Tamblyn as teenager visited by God in human form suffered a major ratings slump in its sophomore run.

Julie And The Phantoms (2020) 

The supernatural musical series, Julie and the Phantoms, ended it first season on a spooky cliffhanger that raised questions which will never be resolved, unfortunately. According to MovieWeb, Netflix pulled the plug on the show — following an aspiring teen musician and her three ghostly bandmates — because it failed to appeal to its target demographic, despite proving popular among viewers 18 and older.

The Last Man On Earth (2015-2018)

After four seasons, star and creator Will Forte’s post-apocalyptic comedy, The Last Man on Earth, ended with a bizarre cliffhanger in which a large group of unidentified survivors in gas masks emerge from an underground bunker. The former SNL cast member shared with Vulture’s Good Ones podcast his plan to explain who those people were and how the story would evolve from there.

A League Of Their Own (2022)

Based on one of the best sports movies of all time, A League of the Their Own was also a fresh take on the true story of the World War II professional women’s baseball league. Despite its acclaim, it struck out with Amazon, which suddenly and shockingly cancelled it after one season.

Lockwood & Co. (2023) 

Mere months after it premiered, Netflix exorcised the inventive supernatural mystery thriller, Lockwood & Co., which based its first season on the first two books of the five-part series that inspired it. Fans of the show — which followed a group of teen ghost hunters in London — petitioned for its revival after it was cancelled.

The Midnight Club (2022)

Most of Mike Flanagan’s best shows have been limited series, which is why it was a surprise when his adaptation of Christopher Pike’s novel, The Midnight Club, ended with a tease at a second season. When Netflix chose not to renew the heartbreaking coming-of-age horror series, Flanagan posted his plans for Season 2 in full detail on his Tumblr blog.

My Name Is Earl (2005-2009)

Despite literally ending Season 4 with a “To Be Continued” caption, NBC opted not to continue My Name is Earl. Ethan Suplee, who played Earl’s brother, Randy Hickey, explained on the Slick and Thick podcast (via TikTok), that the network refused to give Fox (which owned the property) more money to license the show for another year. He then shared that the series finale would have revealed that Jason Lee’s titular reformed criminal was the unwitting catalyst of an entire movement of people making lists of amends.

Revolution (2012-2014) 

According to Deadline, the lights went out on Revolution — set in a post-apocalytpic future without electricity — after its long hiatus between its first and second seasons on NBC caused a dip in popularity. Creator Eric Kripke later told Buddy TV he envisioned Season 3 as a treasure hunting adventure, which — as THR reports — was adapted into a four-part digital DC comic in 2015.

Santa Clarita Diet (2017-2019)

The Season 3 finale of Santa Clarita Diet saw Drew Barrymore’s undead real estate agent Sheila Hammond take a bite of her husband, Joel, played by Timothy Olyphant. What major changes that cliffhanger might have led to remain a mystery since Netflix buried the funny, inventive take on zombie lore, reportedly due to increasing production costs, according to Deadline.

The Secret Circle (2011-2012)

Despite being the network’s third highest-rated series at the time, The Secret Circle was cursed with cancellation after just one season on The CW. According to CBR, it was on a steady decline in viewership since its premiere that led to the teen supernatural fantasy’s premature demise, despite a cliffhanger season finale.

The Society (2019) 

Also one of the best Natasha Liu Bordizzo TV shows, The Society — which followed a group of teens mysteriously cut off from the rest of the world — was cut off from continuing its story in a second season. Creator Christopher Keyser shared with Variety how upsetting the “abrupt” cancellation of the Lord of the Flies-esque sci-fi series was after spending months preparing for the second season.

Southland (2009-2013)

Acclaimed cop drama Southland was cancelled right before its second season aired on NBC, but was picked up soon after by TNT, which would eventually drop the series after Season 5. EW later reported that there were talks of a movie that would resolve a cliffhanger in which Michael Cudlitz’s John Cooper gets shot, but nothing came to fruition.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-2009)

One of the best shows Fox should be embarrassed about cancelling is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which deviated from the initial Terminator movies’ canon in ways that fans and critics responded well to. Unfortunately, the sci-fi series met an untimely fate when it was cancelled after its second season suffered a significant drop in ratings.

Pushing Daisies (2007-2009) 

A beloved romantic-comedy series that ended too soon was Pushing Daisies, which starred Lee Pace as a baker with the ability to bring people back from dead by touching them, but only once. If only the quirky, creative, multi-Emmy-nominated show could be brought back from the dead so fans could see where the story was meant to go past its two season on ABC.

Warrior Nun (2020-2022)

Based on a popular comic book, Warrior Nun fell victim to Netflix’s habit of cancelling some of its most acclaimed series after its second season dropped to less than half its average viewership just three weeks after it premiered, according to Variety. 

The Wilds (2020-2022)

Despite being praised as one of the best Amazon Prime original TV shows, the coming-of-age survival drama, The Wilds, did not survive past a second season at Amazon. ComicBook.com later reported that fans voiced their disappointment that the cliffhanger season finale would go unresolved.

These TV shows were not here for a long time, but it was a good time while they lasted.

There are plenty of great DC movies and TV shows on Netflix for comic book fans to check out, which is one thing that makes it one of the best streaming services to subscribe to today. Let's take a deeper look at all of the great superhero movies and series under the DC umbrella that a Netflix subscription provides — some of which a Max subscription will not even get you.

Preacher (2016-2019)

Criminal-turned-minister Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), his ex-girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga), and a vampire named Cassidy (Joe Gilgun) team up to, literally, find God after the Almighty goes missing.

Why it is one of the best DC titles on Netflix: Based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's hit DC Wildstorm comic, Preacher is a refreshingly unique and cheekily funny supernatural thriller from developers Sam Catlin, Seth Rogen, and Evan Goldberg.

Batwheels (2022-Present)

The Batmobile (voiced by Jacob Bertrand) and other vehicles used by the Dark Knight (voiced by Ethan Hawke) and the BatFamilly become equipped with a sentient A.I. that allows them to become heroes on their own.

Why it is one of the best DC titles on Netflix: For younger children who may not be ready for the live-action Batman films or even Batman: The Animated Series, Batwheels serves as a perfect entry point into the DC Universe.

We have declared the word of the day to be two words: Paul Reubens. The actor, who was best known for creating the iconic character, Pee-wee Herman, and portraying him in multiple titles, passed away at the age of 70 after a private, years-long battle with cancer.

Of course, the Emmy-nominated comedian entertained millions with various other great performances outside of his years as Pee-wee, and we will cover all the best in our following list of Paul Reubens movies and TV shows fans can now stream online in his honor. But first, let’s start with some of the best starring our favorite man-child.

Pee-Wee's Playhouse (1986-1991)

A childish grown-up (Reubens), his friends and neighbors, and his sentient belongings go on many fun, wacky, and even informative adventures — sometimes without ever leaving the house.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Reubens first debuted his iconic character in the late ‘70s as part of improvisational comedy group, The Groundlings (which he recalled to Jimmy Fallon), but he became a household name by introducing viewers of all ages into his household on Pee-wee’s Playhouse — the Emmy-winning children’s program that also featured acclaimed actors like Laurence Fishburne and S. Epatha Merkerson in recurring roles.

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985)

When his bike is suddenly stolen, Pee-wee travels across the country, committed to retrieving it at all costs, running into some bizarre situations and meeting some interesting new friends along the way.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: While Reubens’ first feature film appearance as Pee-wee was in 1980’s Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie, the first film to put him in the spotlight was the highly imaginative and thoroughly hilarious road movie, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure — not only one of the best Tim Burton movies, but the acclaimed visionary director’s feature-length debut that was also co-written by Reubens with Michael Varhol and his Groundlings teammate and SNL legend, Phil Hartman.

Rent or buy Pee-wee's Big Adventure on Amazon.

Big Top Pee-Wee (1988)

After taking up a new life as a farmer, Pee-wee suddenly finds his land occupied by a traveling circus, whose trapeze artist (Italian actor Valeria Golino in her first starring role in an American film) catches his attention.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Pee-wee returned to the big screen in a follow-up to Big Adventure, called Big Top Pee-wee, that allows Reubens to broaden his scope as a performer. It was directed by Grease helmer Randal Kleiser and also, once again, penned by Reubens with Pee-wee’s Playhouse writer George McGrath.

Stream Big Top Pee-wee on Amazon Prime.

Pee-Wee's Big Holiday (2016)

A chance meeting with a cool drifter (Joe Manganiello) inspires Pee-wee to leave his quaint hometown and go on a much-needed vacation.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Reubens teamed up with director John Lee (co-creator of Adult Swim’s Wonder Showzen), co-writer Paul Rust (creator of Netflix’s Love), and producer Judd Apatow (I’m sure you’re familiar) for the Netflix original comedy, Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, which was Reuben’s first feature-length appearance in the title role in nearly three decades, and also the last.

Stream Pee-wee's Big Holiday on Netflix.

Batman Returns (1992)

Millionaire Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton, in one of his best movies) dons the cape and cowl once again to save Gotham from a bird-like sewer-dweller (Danny DeVito), while struggling to decided if he has found a friend or foe in a woman dressed as a cat (Michelle Pfieffer).

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Reubens and (in a fun Easter egg) his Pee-wee’s Big Adventure co-star, Diane Salinger, re-teamed with Burton to play the disavowing parents of one of the most iconic iterations of the Penguin in the cold open for the filmmaker’s second live-action Batman movie, Batman Returns.

Gotham (2016-2017)

As Detective Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie, who also played Batman in the animated movie, Batman: Year One) struggles to be force for justice in his new corrupt, crime-ridden home, a wealthy, orphaned boy (David Mazouz) aspires toward the same goal to avenge his murdered parents.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Batman Returns was not the only time Reubens played the Penguin’s dad, as he would also appear alongside the Gotham cast for three episodes between Seasons 2 and 3 as Elijah Van Dahl — the wealthy, long-lost, and actually accepting fatter of Robin Lord Taylor’s version of Oswald Cobblepot on the hit Fox series set during Bruce Wayne’s youth.

DC's Legends Of Tomorrow (2018-2019)

A time-traveling loner (Arthur Darvill) puts together a team of costumed vigilantes and highly skilled criminals in order to prevent a cataclysmic threat.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Gotham is not the only great DC TV show which Reubens has appeared on, as he also had a recurring role alongside DC's Legends Of Tomorrow cast as the voice of Dybbuk — a malevolent, possessive spirit that inhabits a doll to terrorize the titular crew of this Arrowverse favorite.

Mystery Men (1999)

When their city’s most trusted superhero (Greg Kinnear) goes missing, it is up to a team of obscure, wannabe vigilantes (William H. Macy, Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, and more) to save the day from a recently released, eccentric criminal mastermind (Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush).

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Reubens also got to play a superhero once in the hilarious, underrated comic book movie, Mystery Men, in the very bizarre role of The Spleen, who has been cursed since his youth with the ability to expel a silent, but deadly gas out his… well, you can probably figure that out.

Flight Of The Navigator (1986)

After waking up to discover that he has been missing for eight years, but without having aged a day, a 12-year-old boy (Joey Cramer) tries to figure out the answer to his absence, leading him to go on an unforgettable adventure.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Before Randal Kleiser directed Reubens in Big Top Pee-wee, the two worked together on Disney’s classic sci-fi flick, Flight of the Navigator, which features the actor as the voice of Max — the alien AI which powers that spacecraft that the young central character discovers he has been programmed to pilot.

Stream Flight Of The Navigator on Disney+.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1992)

A high school cheerleader (Kristy Swanson) discovers that she is destined to protect the human race from evil, undead bloodsuckers.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: When not playing Pee-wee, Reubens has rarely been opposed to letting out his bad side, such as with his memorably off-the-wall performance in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie cast as Amilyn — a fanged, punk rocker villain whom the actor would reprise with a What We Do in the Shadows cameo in 2019.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

The most revered figure in a town obsessed with Halloween (Chris Sarandon) finds the more unique celebration he has been searching for in Christmas, but unwittingly lays the groundwork for a season filled with more fear than cheer.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Another one of Reubens’ more menacing characters appears in another one of his collaborations with writer and producer Burton for the stop-motion animated, holiday classic with a spooky twist, The Nightmare Before Christmas, in which the actor voices Lock — one of the mischievous, young trick-r-treaters who conspire to kidnap Santa Claus.

Dunston Checks In (1996)

The manager of a luxurious hotel (Jason Alexander — better known as Seinfeld’s George Costanza) fears for his chances of a promotion when he discovers that his sons have befriended an orangutan who has gone on the loose.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Reubens took on one of his funnier antagonistic roles as overly serious animal control officer, Buck LaFarge, in Dunston Checks In — one of the more successful and, sometimes, delightful films released when movies about primates seemed more popular than ever.

Rent or buy Dunston Checks In on Amazon.

Blow (2001)

Failed marijuana dealer George Jung (Johnny Depp) receives a second chance at success in the drug trade by helping Pablo Escobar’s Medellin Cartel establish a market for cocaine in the United States during the 1970s. 

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: Reubens surprised critics and audiences with his performance in one of the best Johnny Depp movies, Blow, as a coke-addicted hairdresser named Derek Foreal — a character based on one of the real Jung’s business partners, Richard Barile, according to Stagbite.

Rent or buy Blow on Amazon.

Mosaic (2018)

The investigation into the murder of a popular children’s book author and illustrator (Sharon Stone) uncovers a deadly, conspiratorial game.

Why it is one of Paul Reubens’ best: A more recent example of one of Reubens’ darker roles could be seen on writer Ed Solomon and director Steven Soderbergh’s eight-episode, HBO original whodunit, Mosaic — originally released as an interactive experience that allowed the viewer to choose from multiple perspectives — in which the actor played the best friend of Stone’s slain character.

For many, he will always be Pee-wee Herman, but it is clear from the titles listed above that there were many sides to Paul Reubens. He will be dearly missed.

The entertainment industry has lost another talent, as it was announced on July 31, 2023 that Paul Reubens died at the age of 70 following a six-year battle with cancer. Of course, in the wake of this bad news, a lot of people are bringing up how great he was as Pee-Wee Herman, and for good reason. The childlike protagonist is a pop culture icon, chiefly known for leading two movies, a TV series and a stage show, but having also made a variety of other big and small screen appearances. There's no question that Pee-Wee will always be Reubens’ best-known role, and I’m hopeful future generations will appreciate it just as much as we do now.

However, as someone who’s a massive DC Comics fan, after learning that Paul Reubens had passed away, I couldn’t help but think of the various ways he left his stamp on this corner of the superhero media landscape. From his time as Bat-Mite on Batman: The Brave and the Bold to playing a Chucky-inspired serial killer in the Arrowverse, the actor deserves a lot more attention for how he contributed to DC. So let’s spend some time going over this portion of his resume, starting with the aforementioned imp from the Fifth Dimension who’s been a Batman fan-favorite for decades.

Bat-Mite

Just like in the comics, Paul Reubens’ Bat-Mite was Batman’s biggest fan, but went about showing his enthusiasm in ways that annoyed the Caped Crusader and made his life a lot more complicated. But along with boasting his traditional reality-warping powers, this Bat-Mite also frequently broke the fourth wall, allowing him to poke fun at the Batman movies, past TV shows and DC Comics fans. He was even the catalyst for bringing Batman: The Brave and the Bold to an end in 2011 with the series, “Mitefall,” though that ironically led to his own erasure. Along with voicing Bat-Mite voiced Bat-Mite in four episodes of the animated TV series and the tie-in video game from 2010, Reubens later reprised the role in the unconnected animated movie Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leagured. He wasn’t the first actor to voice Bat-Mite, but I’ll always hear his voice when reading the character’s dialogue in a comic.

The Penguin’s Father

Paul Reubens first appeared as the father of Oswald Cobblepot, a.k.a. The Penguin, in the opening minutes of Batman Returns, with Diane Salinger by his side as Penguin’s mother. However, Reubens didn’t say any lines in this appearance, and it simply served as an opportunity for him to collaborate with director Tim Burton again after they’d worked together on Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. More than two decades though, Reubens played a different take on Penguin’s father in the TV show Gotham. This version, named Elijah Van Dahl, learned about his son’s existence not long after Oswald’s mother, Carol Kane’s Gertrud Kapelput, was murdered, and he didn’t waste time welcoming his son to his family. However, Elijah was poisoned by his wife Grace and her children when they learned that he’d decided to leave his fortune to Oswald, which pushed Robin Lord Taylor’s Penguin to exact revenge and return to a life of villainy.

The Riddler

In the mid-2010s, the Adult Swim series Robot Chicken released three DC Comics-focused specials, and Paul Reubens participated in all of them as Edward Nygma, a.k.a. The Riddler. This version of the longtime Batman foe was chiefly shown as a member of the Legion of Doom, the super villain team introduced in the 1970s animated series Challenge of the Super Friends. Needless to say that Robot Chicken’s Riddler wasn’t a complex role, but it did provide Reubens another platform to show off his comedic chops (side note, I’m a big proponent of Riddler’s dream The Punctuation Posse to be featured in the comics). I also find myself imagining what it would have been like if Reubens had gotten to play Riddler in live-action, specifically if he’d been hired for Batman Forever instead of Jin Carrey.

Mike The Spike

The events of Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 saw the protagonists hunting down magical fugitives dispersed throughout time, including serial killer Mike the Spike. Becoming a dybbuk following his death, Mike’s spirit inhabited a young girl’s doll in 1856 New Orleans and attempted to resume his murder spree, but was stopped by the Legends, with Mick Rory burning the doll. Once aboard the Waverider, Mike’s spirit transferred itself to the Martin Stein puppet and attempted to slice and dice its inhabitants, but they defeated him once more, and he remained in that puppet for the rest of his appearances. Mike the Spike wasn’t the most dangerous threat in this season of Legends of Tomorrow, but it was nice to have Reubens contribute to the Arrowverse show in this special way.

Paul Reubens’ appearances in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Batman Returns, Gotham and Robot Chicken can all be streamed with a Max subscription, and Netflix subscribers have easy access to his Legends of Tomorrow episodes. Of course, these are just some of the great non-Pee-wee characters he played over his lifetime, so don’t hesitate those movies and TV shows a watch too if you’re interested in revisiting the man’s career following his passing.

While there may have been some rough times every so often behind the scenes for pop megastar Miley Cyrus and her manager mom Tish Cyrus, the pair have remained intact while weathering all storms both professional and personal. To the point where the two women reportedly bonded even more after the producer’s split with Billy Ray Cyrus, which she followed up on by hooking up with Legends of Tomorrow and Prison Break vet Dominic Purcell. This past weekend brought the news that Cyrus and Purcell are now engaged and prepping for marriage, and it appears as if the pop star is in full support of her mom-ager’s bliss.

The trapeze-embracing Miley Cyrus hasn’t yet come out with any social media posts or other public reactions to her mom’s big engagement news, but that doesn’t appear to be based on any foul or disagreeable feelings. According to US Weekly, the “Flowers” singer is apparently feeling anything but “Jaded” over the nuptials news. Here’s how the outlet’s source put it:

That sounds like a rather fitting response from Miley Cyrus, who has been quite positive about her mom finding a new source of love after the ups and downs of her relationship with the Hannah Montana star’s father, Billy Ray Cyrus. They were together for nearly 20 years in total, but split up several times along the way, with divorce papers being filed and later ignored in both 2010 and 2013. Their latest break-up happened in April 2022, and the country crooner began dating singer Firerose at some point after, revealing back in November that they were engaged to be married. 

Tish Cyrus was apparently wary about initially going public with the news of her and Dominic Purcell’s relationship, and waited until she was sure things wouldn’t go downhill before sharing their love with the world. According to US Weekly:

At this point, it’s not clear how Miley Cyrus’ siblings feel about the engagement news, from biological brother Braison and sister Noah to adopted sister Brandi and brother Trace. But one can hope that they also are looking out for their mom’s happiness first and foremost. Check out Tish Cyrus’ Instagram reveal post below. 

Considering Tish Cyrus was part of the reason why Miley was rocking her famed mullet a few years ago, a style her dad knows oh so well, does that mean she’ll soon be shaving Miley’s head to reflect Purcell’s current ‘do? Let’s hope not. I think? Maybe for their wedding day…

Miley Cyrus’ own past marriage was rumor mill fodder in recent months due to theories about her hit single “Flowers,” which listeners have believed is about ex Liam Hemsworth. Her fans can check out her performing that song and others from her eighth album Endless Summer Vacation with her recently released Backyard Sessions concert special, available to stream with a Disney+ subscription.

When "Crisis on Infinite Earths" first aired, it seemed like the peak of the Arrowverse. We witnessed the biggest crossover event in DC television history and what should've been the start of the next chapter of DC television. Unfortunately, things didn't work that way, and as The Flash nears its end, I can't help but think back on the ways this crossover ruined the Arrowverse at large. 

While I've held this opinion for a while, I think I finally reached a breaking point thanks to The Flash's Season 9 episode "The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky." I'll get into that more later because there are just so many things I need to revisit before that moment that has me so upset we ever got this crossover in the first place. 

Crisis Stepped On Arrow’s Final Season And Ending

I'll be the first to admit I wasn't a massive Arrow fan toward the end, but after seeing other Arrowverse shows conclude without a proper ending, I can't help but feel bad for the flagship series. So much of Arrow's final season was intertwined with "Crisis on Infinite Earths" that it stepped on the opportunity for the series to close out in a way more personal to its series.

Instead, Arrow had to close out its series after its lead character was killed off in the crossover event. Saving Stephen Amell's exit for a massive crossover could've been a great move in hindsight had the Arrowverse thrived in the years following, but let's be honest, that hasn't been the case. In hindsight, it might've been best had Oliver at least died in a proper season of Arrow and not become The Spectre. 

Some Shows Pretended Like Crisis Never Happened

Superman & Lois has had a lot of success on The CW, and weirdly enough, it wouldn't be possible if it weren't for "Crisis on Infinite Earths." It was the mega-crossover that retconned Lois and Clark's baby for two teenage sons, which laid the groundwork for the series as we see it today. 

And yet, despite that, Superman & Lois made a distinctive effort to minimize any mentions to the greater Arrowverse and even explicitly confirmed in Season 2 that it takes place in a different world than the prime shows. In other words, the Tyler Hoechlin-played Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch-played Lois Lane from "Crisis" aren't even the same versions we're following on this show. It seems like a terrible vote of confidence when a show directly created from the crossover doesn't want to acknowledge it, or the greater universe for that matter. 

The Rules Following Crisis On Infinite Earths Have Been Confusing 

"Crisis on Infinite Earths" changed the Arrowverse permanently, but not in a way that was always easily understood. Heroes lived and heroes died, but also heroes died and then lived again. There are also multiple versions of the same villains co-existing and entirely new versions of previous villains. Oh, and as we learned recently on The Flash, there are even people who were dead before "Crisis," like Becky Sharpe, that are now also alive again. Not everyone is alive, though; some people, like Barry Allen's mom, are still very dead. 

Perhaps the biggest problem following "Crisis on Infinite Earths" is that none of the shows effectively laid out every scenario for how the world would work following the mega event. Sure, fans were drip-fed reveals across The Flash, Supergirl and Batwoman, but I'm sure there were plenty of people not watching all of those shows concurrently. Even if you were, it'd be hard to mash all that information together into a coherent bible for how this world operates now. It sounds like a mess, and to be quite honest, it has felt like one too. 

It Teased A Future Crossover That Never Happened

Remember at the end of "Crisis on Infinite Earths" where we saw the Arrowverse's version of the Justice League? They even teased Gleek, the blue monkey! The Paragons who remembered Crisis all got together in order to stop the next major crisis should it come, and the building itself was dedicated to Oliver Queen's memory! 

Thankfully, The Flash has found a way to bring back Oliver in its final season because aside from a brief visit to that base of operations in the show's "Armageddon" event, it hasn't been used for jack since it was established. Granted, the pandemic definitely helped put the kibosh on productions filming crossovers for a while, and by the time restrictions had opened up, a couple of shows were already on their way out. Oh, and as mentioned, Superman & Lois is not part of Earth Prime. It really sucks because I was looking forward to this crossover. 

We Never Got A Proper Reestablishment Of The Multiverse

At the time, it seemed like "Crisis on Infinite Earths" was meant to usher in the new era of the Arrowverse. And yet, as The Flash heads toward its final episode, so many shows that have come after it are ending or have already ended. It's actually pretty sad to watch the ending of the other Earths and realize that Stargirl, Doom Patrol, Titans and Swamp Thing were hyped at the end, and they'll all officially be gone before too long (although to be fair, Swamp Thing had already ended by that point).

Let's also not forget the fact that at the time, it seemed like we'd be getting a Katherine McNamara-led Arrow spinoff. Unfortunately, plans changed and that project never came to be. McNamara still ended up on The CW with Walker: Independence, so some good did come out of it, but to date, there still hasn't been a follow-up series to Arrow despite its popularity. 

In fairness, the pandemic definitely played a hand in this and some of the rough runs for other Arrowverse shows, but it's not like "Crisis" really teed up any of these shows for success. In fact, there wasn't even a significant torch-passing moment to the new era of shows, just an acknowledgment that they existed entirely separate from the rest. That was a real missed opportunity, and maybe they should've tried to incorporate the other shows a bit more. 

The Arrowverse certainly hasn't been the same since "Crisis on Infinite Earths," and it's safe to say that hasn't been a good thing. It feels like we're in the end times of this DC franchise, which probably wasn't the goal at the time it was made. Sure, there were other factors that played into that, but overall, this crossover didn't do anything to help the situation. 

While it's not what it once was, fans of the Arrowverse can still catch the franchise's remaining shows on The CW. In fact, the network just kicked off Gotham Knights, which is definitely worth a watch, along with many other shows on the 2023 TV schedule if you're looking for something new. 

UPDATE: The Nerds of Color have issued a correction over the statement which incorrectly quoted that "All the Legends [of Tomorrow] at least are all going to appear in an episode.” There is no confirmation that all of the Legends will appear in The Flash Season 9. The original article continues below.

Debuting in September 2014, a little less than a year after Grant Gustin debuted as Barry Allen in Arrow Season 2, The Flash is about to enter its ninth and final season. The longest-running (pun slightly intended) of the Arrowverse shows will wrap things up with 13 episodes, and there have already been plenty of big casting announcements for this last hurrah. The Flash showrunner Eric Wallace has now revealed that the Legends of Tomorrow will also be involved in Season 9, as well as some Justice League plans he’d formulated for a Blackest Night storyline that ended up being scrapped.

Starting with the Legends of Tomorrow, Arrowverse fans will remember that the show following the Waverider’s crew was cancelled last year after seven seasons, resulting in the show ending with a cliffhanger that introduced Donald Faison as Booster Gold. The good news is that Eric Wallace shared with The Nerds of Color that “all the Legends at least are all going to appear in an episode” of The Flash Season 9. The bad news is that Wallace and the The Flash’s team had to toss aside plans to give Legends of Tomorrow a proper conclusion in Season 9. In his words:

Because this Arrow storyline had to be scrapped since The Flash’s final season already had enough on its plate, it’s unclear if when these time-traveling characters appear,  we’ll be seeing them at a point before they were arrested by the Time Police, or if this takes place afterwards and there just won’t be any explanation for how they’re free. Either way, at least Legends of Tomorrow fans will get to reunite with these protagonists one final time rather than have the Legends Season 7 finale be their swan song. Eric Wallace added that because The Flash writers are still putting together the series finale, “you never know what could happen at the very end.” Maybe there might still be a way to give the Legends some much-needed resolution, even if it’s solely through dialogue.

Moving on, Eric Wallace also talked about some arcs for The Flash he’d thought up had the show been brought back for a 10th season. After sharing that he’d intended to do The Forever War storyline at this season’s opener, the showrunner said this:

The final minutes of Arrow’s series finale saw David Ramsey’s John Diggle discovering a box that’d crash-landed on Earth emitting a mysterious green glow. For a couple years afterwards, Diggle surfaced on shows like Supergirl and Batwoman in the midst of trying to get the box reopened, which he finally accomplished in The Flash Season 8’s “The Man in the Yellow Tie” with the help of Eobard Thawne. However, Diggle resisted accepting the cosmic power within the box, instead throwing it away in favor of returning to his family. Had The Flash Season 10 happened, that Blackest Night tease would have been fully fleshed out, though it’s unclear if Team Flash dealing with an undead horde would have happened at the same time as Barry teaming up with his Justice League cohorts to deal with the return of Despero, the main antagonist in Season 8’s “Armageddon” arc, or occurred at a different point.

In the end, these storylines weren’t meant to be, but the good news is that The Flash fans have a lot to look forward to in Season 9. As indicated earlier, a lot of familiar Arrowverse faces will be back, including Stephen Amell reprising Oliver Queen/Green Arrow for the first time since Arrow ended, as well as the recent additions of Rick Cosnett, Matt Letscher and Jessica Parker Kennedy. Season 9 also sees the debut of Richard Harmon’s Owen Mercer, a.k.a. the new Captain Boomerang, and the tease of a blue crystal sitting in a laboratory in 2049 strongly suggests the show is bringing in Cobalt Blue, though that has yet to be confirmed.

The Flash Season 9 premieres tomorrow, February 8, at 8 pm ET on The CW. Keep track of what other shows are currently airing or coming up soon with our 2023 TV schedule, and look over what other upcoming DC TV shows are lined up.

Many examples of TV greatness came to their planned ends in 2022, from beloved network stalwarts This Is Us and black-ish to the standout cable genre-thwarters Atlanta and Better Call Saul to the talent-packed streaming hits Ozark and Grace and Frankie. Unfortunately, it was also a big year for totally unplanned and often unwarranted cancellations, with a majority of TV-forward platforms tightening their budgetary belts out of necessity (and/or being at the center of mega-mergers).

So while a truly objective classification of TV shows that were axed is an impossibility, here's our noble attempt at pulling together the most disappointing TV cancellations of 2022. Hopefully nobody gets blindsided by any previous unknowns that are listed below, although I guess it wouldn’t be much different from getting gobsmacked by the cancellations when they happened. (Head to our 2023 TV premiere schedule when you're done to see all the shows already set for debuts in the near year.)

The Baby-Sitters Club

As an adaptation of Ann M. Martin’s timeless and beloved line of youth-skewing book series (of which there are many), The Baby-Sitters Club probably had enough source material to span an entire generation of babysitters. Unfortunately, as beloved as the fan-favorite dramedy was, its second season failed to carve out a spot within Netflix’s daily Top 10 TV Shows rankings, and only showed up once in the service’s weekly rankings. However, its March cancellation was buffered by the recent update that creator Rachel Shukert has renewed plans to shop the series around after its Children & Family Emmys wins.

Black Monday

2022 didn’t make it through a whole month without delivering terrible news for one of premium cable’s most gleefully energetic romps, as Showtime’s coked-up stock market comedy Black Monday was given the boot back in January, six months after its third season concluded. Starring Don Cheadle, Regina Hall and an endless line of hilarious actors, Black Monday was seemingly never appreciated by the massive crowds it deserved, and one can only hope that viewers discover the show through streaming.

The Arrowverse And Other DC Shows 

A cancellation that incorporates far more than just a single series, The CW put the kibosh on nearly all of its DC Comics fare throughout 2022, as influenced by Nexstar Media Group acquiring a majority ownership stake in the network. The new bosses almost immediately made it clear that fantastical, large-budget programming would be no more, and fans were heartbroken to witness the demises of Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow, with The Flash’s final season airing in 2023. As well, Stargirl and Naomi were canceled surrounding the airing of their respective third and first seasons. As of now, The CW is welcoming Superman & Lois back for Season 3, with the debut season of Gotham Knights set for 2023.

First Kill

Based on the short story by author V.E. Schwab, and created by the very same writer, First Kill immediately won over fans hungry for a YA-friendly vampire tale that embraced LGBTQ+ characters and storylines. And that hunger resulted in First Kill celebrating a pretty massive debut on Netflix, spending a few weeks in the streamer’s Top 10 rankings and securing more than 100 million hours of viewership during its first 28 days of release. Unfortunately, that somehow wasn’t enough to convince the powers that be to sink their fangs into a second season, and it was cancelled less than two months after arriving, sparking a fan backlash and comments from the showrunner about Netflix’s reportedly substandard marketing ploys.

Saved By the Bell

Television’s most innovating and progressive continuation/reimagining in recent memory, Saved by the Bell aced all the critical tests, but Bayside High’s elite very sadly didn’t get to graduate to Season 3, with Peacock cancelling the GLAAD Award-winning comedy in May 2022, seven months after it Slater-iffic second season dropped. If only we all had Zack and Daisy’s Time Out powers to go and fudge some paperwork at Peacock.

Close Enough

Of all the series that fared terribly during the earliest wave of “HBO Max is going bananas with its content library” news, arguably the most fun and unique show to get axed unceremoniously was the trippy-lite thirty-something animated comedy Close Enough, from Regular Show creator J.Q. Quintel. But while you can still find Mordecai and Rigby on the streaming service, Close Enough was one of many to be excised entirely, and is currently without a proper streaming home.

Where To Stream: No current subscription service, though seasons can be purchased through Prime Video

Other Victims Of Warner Bros. Discovery Merger 

Surrounding the aforementioned content culling at HBO Max, much of the summer-to-winter spread was peppered with disappointing news coming out of Warner Bros Discovery, at least with regards to streaming content. Fan-favorite shows such as Legendary, Raised by Wolves, Love Life, Gordita Chronicles, FBOY Island, Minx, The Garcias, Young Justice, and more all getting their runs cut short, regardless of expectations, not to mention unreleased projects such as the animated series Batman: Caped Crusader, starring the late voice-acting icon Kevin Conroy. In Minx’s case, the cancellation came during the final stretch of filming Season 2.

Where To Stream: Those with seasons that haven't been removed can be found at HBO Max

Legacies

With The Vampire Diaries TV franchise co-creator creator Julie Plec having a bazillion shows in development outside of all things WB, perhaps it's fitting that the third entry Legacies was cancelled outright by The CW in final stretch of its fourth (and thus final) season. The show did get to wrap in a way that tied back into its predecessors, but TVD fans will likely never top hoping that Plec & Co. will return to this universe at some point in the future.

Westworld

Many Westworld viewers might argue that the dark and labyrinthian drama’s later seasons failed to match the storytelling peaks achieved in Season 1, but Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s twisting and turning tale of humanity’s fight against A.I. sentience remained an intriguing mystery even through lackluster eps and long gaps between seasons. All things considered, light expectations were in place for HBO to allow the show to live out its half-planned five-or-six-season run, but its cancellation may have come to light even without WBD’s merger, considering how far the viewership numbers had fallen from the first to the fourth season.

The Midnight Club

The first episodic take on teen horror icon Christopher Pike's bibliography, The Midnight Club was bolstered by its co-creator team of Midnight Mass and Haunting of Hill House mastermind Mike Flanagan and Bly Manor writer Leah Fong, as well as an emotionally dense story of hospice-bound teenagers coming to grips with their mortalities. Surprisingly, Season 1's viewership success and Top 10 showings were not enough to convince the platform to order up a second season that would have answered the show's many mysteries and plot threads. Thankfully, Flanagan resolved those issues after the cancellation while on his way to a lucrative new deal with Amazon Studios and his dream job of adapting Stephen King's The Dark Tower.

Paper Girls

Based on the acclaimed comic book series from Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, Amazon Studios' Paper Girls was a fun and largely delightful adaptation of the source material, which followed its titular newspaper-delivering teens as their '80s-centered lives became upended after they unwittingly travel through time.

Full Frontal With Samantha Bee

HBO Max's content library issues in 2022 were certainly rivaled by fellow WBD siblings TBS and TNT, with both networks reversing course on almost all of their original programming plans. And while the go-to option in these situation is usually to adhere to unscripted fare for money-saving reasons, the long-running satirical news and chat show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee was put on the chopping block alongside Chad (which didn't even get to air its produced and delayed second season) and Snowpiercer. As disappointing as it has been to lose Samantha Bee from the small screen, one can only hope she bounces back with something even more full and frontal, as it were.

Warrior Nun

Despite any story hiccups that critics and viewers might have identified across its two seasons, Netflix’s Warrior Nun was nonetheless celebrated highly for the committed work from stars such as Alba Baptista and Toya Turner, as well as some of the most impressive fight choreography in recent years on any TV format. But its fate turned out as dour as the show’s tone itself, with the streaming service canceling the action-drama a little over a month after its second season debuted.

Magnum P.I.

Our final entry here is something of a cheat. Because Magnum P.I.’s unexpected cancellation at CBS back in May was indeed so much of a sun-scorched disappointment that the motivated and dedicated fandom behind the Jay Hernandez-starring crime drama came together in full force and played a big role in convincing NBC execs to swoop in and bring Thomas Magnum & Co. back for Season 5, which is set to debut as part of the 2023 TV lineup.

Where To Stream Seasons 1-4: No subscription services, but available for purchase through Prime Video

Here's hoping we can make it through the first weeks of 2023 without a jumble of cancellation news plaguing all the midseason premieres. But I know that's about as likely as CBS re-rebooting Magnum P.I. while the other version is still airing on NBC. Wait, that actually doesn't sound that impossible...

If you haven’t heard, filmmaker James Gunn lined up a major leadership position with DC and Warner Bros. last month. The Suicide Squad writer/director was tapped to serve as the co-CEO of the newly established DC Studios, which he’ll run alongside producer Peter Safran. In this new position, the two will oversee development on the brand’s film, TV and animation ventures. As a result of his new position, a number of fans have been reaching out to him over social media, asking about various things like the infamous “Ayer Cut” of 2016’s Suicide Squad and a potential revival of The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow, among other things. Gunn, who never hesitates to reach out to folks over the web, has now issued a response. 

Those who are familiar with the superhero corner of social media are probably aware that #ReleasetheAyerCut and #SaveLegendsofTomorrow have been trending as of late. There are also plenty of other notable hashtags that have been making the rounds, such as the seemingly always-present #RestoretheSnyderVerse. James Gunn returned to Twitter this weekend to recognize the fans’ passion and address how he and his partner plan to handle viral interactions like these moving forward: 

Over the past several years, the fan-favorite director has been a significant presence on platforms like Twitter and Facebook. In most cases, he’d share updates on his latest productions and answer general questions. It’s going to be weird not seeing him online as often, but it’s good to hear that he still plans to be around when he’s able. While he also said that he and his collaborators are "open to everything," he did make one thing clear about the company's direction moving forward: 

While nothing seems to be totally ruled out, that's far from a solid confirmation on projects like Suicide Squad or Legends. If the company isn't focusing on them right now, that would make sense, though. The Guardians of the Galaxy director and Peter Safran’s hirings represent the beginning of a new era for DC. So the entertainment entity (and parent company Warner Bros., by extension) don’t seem to want to retread old ground. It’s bittersweet for sure but may end up being the best decision in the long run. 

So far, fans have been pumped about James Gunn’s new role and they’re not the only ones. Marvel Studios Kevin Feige also reacted to Gunn’s gig at DC with the perfect response. Feige acknowledged that the filmmaker still has to finish work on Guardians Vol. 3 and that cosmic Holiday Special but also said that when Gunn is done with those, he’ll “be first in line to see anything he does.” 

James Gunn himself also seems to be enjoying things so far, and he issued the perfect response to his first day at DC. Though he’s clearly still going to have fun with his work, his latest comments on the direction of the company further indicate that he, Peter Safran and their collaborators are already making plans. And regardless of whether those ideas involve Suicide Squad or Legends of Tomorrow, I’m still eager to see what’s to come. 

You can watch a number of past DC movies by streaming them with an HBO Max subscription. Also with the Scooby-Doo scribe now in the big seat, there are a few DC characters you’ll want to watch moving forward.

For the past decade and then some, The CW has largely been associated with genre-heavy programming aimed at younger demographics, from the long-running Supernatural (and its upcoming mythos-expanding spinoff The Winchesters) to the Vampire Diaries franchise to DC Comics' Arrowverse heroes. But that era is coming to an end soon. While things aren’t finalized yet, The CW is in the process of being taken over by new owners Nexstar Media Group, which will have a 75% financial stake, with Warner Bros Discovery and Paramount Global each holding onto 12.5% of the ownership. And just from the few details that were unveiled so far, it’s clear the Arrowverse never could have survived changes coming to The CW.

Nexstar’s Goal Is To Turn A Profit With The CW By 2025

In the first place, Nexstar’s overarching plan with the last-place broadcast network is to turn it into a plan that can actually make money, as opposed to operating at a loss year in and year out. The company’s CFO Lee Ann Gliha shared this fairly shocking fact while on a conference call with analysts (via Deadline):

One rather big and obvious reason for such financial imbalances? The fact that the network was pumping so much money into shows like The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and more, without those shows’ respective viewerships necessarily justifying the financial backing. Which isn’t to say that the Arrowverse features the most expensive superhero shows on TV or anything, but they’re certainly very pricy by broadcast standards, and with seasons that extend far beyond those of comparable streaming fare. 

Nexstar’s president and COO Tom Carter claimed that The CW drops “almost twice” as much money as its broadcast rivals, which is not a plan the big boss plans on adhering to. It’s unclear if that means The Flash’s upcoming swan song will be chinchy AF, or if that budget was already locked down ahead of time. Considering Grant Gustin has stated they’ll be allowed to finish on their own terms, one can only hope that means there will be some financial leeway.

Going forward into 2023, The CW’s only proper Arrowverse entry The Flash will wrap things up with a truncated final season, while fellow super-series Superman & Lois is technically still safe with its third season on the way. Currently, has confirmed The CW will still work with Paramount and WBD for original scripted content through 2022 and 2023, but that they’ll be reviewing their options once the current partnership deal expires.

The CW Will Focus On Its Actual Age Demographic Instead Of The One It’d Like To Have

For a network that has been filled with twentysomething superheroes and the high school students of All American, Riverdale and more, The CW somehow isn’t exceedingly popular with younger viewer demographics. In fact, Tom Carter revealed that according to their research, the average CW viewer is 58 years old, which is more akin to the crowd tuning in nightly to Paramount’s CBS. That, in a nutshell, is why Carter thinks The CW ranks so poorly against the Big 4.

As such, while there will no doubt be moves made to bring that average number down a bit, Nexstar execs plan on bringing in more programming that matches up with that age range. To that end, The CW will see a rise in cheaper, unscripted series, presumably on par with Whose Line Is It Anyway and Penn & Teller: Fool Us, although possibly more along the lines of talent-based shows like AGT, competitive projects like Big Brother, or even romance-related series like The Bachelor. Whatever’s cheapest, I suppose. 

Beyond that, the network will also bring in more syndicated programming to fill out its schedule, which will definitely keep costs down. It’s unclear exactly what shows’ repeats will be popping up, but there are certainly plenty of options to choose from, even if Arrowverse reruns likely won’t be involved.

So while fans will no doubt continue to hope for a left-field miracle to save Legends of Tomorrow, there’s no inherently logical way for that to ever happen at The CW, and any future Arrowverse projects would almost definitely have to happen on HBO Max at this point. Or perhaps somewhere that isn’t also dealing with projects being shelved and canceled at alarming rates. I suppose the silver lining here is that we’ve had the past year and change to get used to all the cancellations, rather everything only surviving long enough to get axed in one fell swoop by Nexstar. 

While waiting to hear more about The Flash and Superman & Lois’ upcoming seasons, head to our 2022 TV premiere schedule to see what other new and returning shows are on the way.

Some threats in the DC Comics universe can be vanquished with some simple punches or blasting energy beams, but all too often, problems of a magical variety pop up that can’t be dealt with using brawn or brains alone. Fortunately, there are a number of people you can call for precarious situations like this, including John Constantine. Created by Alan Moore, Rick Veitch, Steve Bissette, and John Totleben, Constantine debuted in the pages of 1985’s The Saga of Swamp Thing, and after being a staple of DC’s Vertigo line of books, he’s been incorporated into the main DC canon for more than a decade now.

In addition to being a powerful sorcerer, the blonde, trench coat-wearing, chain-smoking John Constantine is also one of DC Comics’ most prominent LGBTQ+ characters, having been established as bisexual back in 1992. But there’s a lot more to delve into with Constantine not just in comics, but in other media too. We could spend hours, if not days talking about all things Constantine, but for those simply looking for a brief history of the character, we have you covered.

John Constantine In Comics

Within the original Vertigo continuity he existed in, John Constantine was born in Liverpool, Lancashire in 1953, and unlike stories told within the main DC universe, he aged in real time. As such, he turned 35 during the first year of Vertigo’s Hellblazer series and was in his 60s when that series wrapped up. 

Looking over John Constantine's background from the Vertigo era, he had a rough childhood, ranging from his mother dying after giving birth to him and his stillborn brother, to he and his older sister being abused by their alcoholic father. John started dabbling in magic as a child, and he became more experienced as an adult while hanging out in London-based occult circles and traveling the world. Unfortunately, John Constantine’s first attempt to use his magic in a heroic way went horribly wrong, as it ended with a young girl named Astra Logue being dragged to hell, which left him guilt-ridden for years. 

John Constantine’s spell-casting is enough to make him formidable, but he has many other tools at his disposal that make him a force to be reckoned with. However, there are times when John’s magic simply isn’t enough, which is when he turns to arguably his greatest tool: manipulation, using just his words to fool both demons and allies to get what he wants.

In 2010, John Constantine was thrown into the main DC Comics universe at the end of the Brightest Day event, and when the New 52 reboot happened a year later, he was one of the starring characters in the Justice League Dark series. As far as John Constantine’s romantic relationships go, some of his notable pairings in the comics include Zatanna (who harnesses a different kind of magic), fellow sorcerer Nick Necro, Lucifer Morningstar and Stanley Manor.

John Constantine In Film

In 2005, 20 years after John Constantine debuted in the comics, he made his way to the big screen in, well, Constantine, staring Keanu Reeves. The movie followed John, who was suffering from terminal lung cancer, helping Angela Dodson, a troubled LAPD officer who was trying to prove that her sister’s death wasn’t suicide. Among the other familiar Constantine-affiliated characters this movie brought in were Shia LaBeouf’s Chas Kramer (known in the comics as Francis “Chas” Chandler), Tilda Swinton’s Archangel Gabriel, Djimon Hounsou’s Papa Midnite and Peter Stormare’s Lucifer Morningstar.

Constantine received mixed reviews and made $230 million worldwide off a budget somewhere between $70-$100 million. Although Keanu Reeves and Constantine director Francis Lawrence have expressed interest in making a sequel all these years later, between the direction the DCEU is going, their busy schedules and John Constantine’s future in the TV realm, it’s doubtful this well ever happen. And speaking of TV…

John Constantine In TV

Outside of popping up in a few episodes of the animated series Justice League Action, John Constantine has solely been represented on TV so far through Matt Ryan’s portrayal in the Arrowverse. We first met this version of John in his own TV series on NBC, but unfortunately, the show was canceled after just one 13-episode season.

Then in November 2015, Matt Ryan reprised John Constantine for the Arrow Season 4 episode “Haunted,” with the character appearing in both the present-day storyline and flashback sequences. Two years later, he resurfaced as a recurring character in Legends of Tomorrow Season 3. From there, John was upgraded to the main cast in Season 4, a position he held until the end of Season 6, although Ryan remained on the show in Season 7 to play early 20th century scientist Gwyn Davies.

Matt Ryan not only looked just like the original John Constantine, but also excelled at nailing the character’s personality and manipulative nature. Legends of Tomorrow even briefly explored the character having to endure terminal lung cancer. Legends of Tomorrow also adapted John’s past with Astra Logue (played by Olivia Swann), who started out as a villain, but later joined the Legends. The “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover also revealed that Constantine goes back with Tom Ellis’ Lucifer Morningstar from the Lucifer TV series.

As far as John Constantine’s romantic relationships go in the Arrowverse, besides an early tryst with Sara Lance, Matt Ryan’s version was notably paired with two people in the Arrowverse. In Legends of Tomorrow Season 4, we learned that John sent his old boyfriend Desmond to Hell when he became possessed by Neron as part of a deal to keep the demon from taking John’s soul. Eventually Neron was lured out of Desmond’s body, but Desmond had no wish to continue where he’d left off with John. Then during Seasons 5 and 6, John got cozy with Zari Tarazi, a.k.a. the new timeline version of Zari, not to be confused with the original Zari Tomaz. Sadly, that relationship didn’t work out either.

It’s doubtful we’ll ever seen the Arrowverse’s John Constantine again, not just because Legends of Tomorrow has been canceled, but also because there’s a new TV version of the character on the way. J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot production company are making a Constantine TV series for HBO Max as part of its Justice League Dark franchise. As of this writing, it hasn’t been officially announced who will play the new John Constantine, although The Illuminerdi claimed in April that Gangs of London’s Sope Dirisu was being eyed for the role.

John Constantine In Animated Movies

Along with playing John Constantine in live-action, Matt Ryan also voiced the DC Animated Movie Universe version of the character. This take on John Constantine was introduced in 2016’s Justice League Dark, and later starred in the Constantine: City of Demons web series, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War and the DC Showcase short Constantine: The House of Mystery. This version of Constantine lines up pretty closely with his comic book counterpart, and as far as his romantic relationship goes, it’s mentioned in Apokolips War that he used to date King Shark. 

Unlike the Arrowverse’s John Constantine, it’s possible that the DCAMU’s John Constantine might resurface someday, but explaining why will require going into major SPOILERS for Justice League Dark: Apokolips War and Constantine: The House of Mystery. At the end of the former movie, John persuaded to The Flash to run back in time and create another Flashpoint so that all the devastation on Earth would be undone. Then the latter short film revealed that he was locked in the House of Mystery by The Spectre so he could avoid being punished for messing with the fabric of time. You can watch the DC Showcase short for yourself to see how John escaped that Doctor Who-inspired hellscape in the first place, but by the end of the story, John was dragged through a large portal, begging Spectre to kill him because of what awaited him on the other side. With an ending like that, it’s hard to imaging that this is the last we see of him.

All this was a basic overview of John Constantine, so if you want to dive deeper with the character, check out his comic book appearances on DC Universe Infinite or watch some of his adventures in other media with your HBO Max subscription.

At the end of Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 (which can now be streamed with a Netflix subscription), the title protagonists and their new ally, Donald Faison’s Mike, a.k.a. Booster Gold, were arrested by Mike’s superiors at the Time Police. It was one of the DC TV show’s most cliffhanger-y endings yet, but unfortunately for fans, it’s not one that will be resolved. Legends of Tomorrow was canceled by The CW the end of April, and now Caity Lotz has revealed what was going to happen in Season 8 had the show continued.

Caity Lotz, the sole remaining original member of the Legends of Tomorrow cast when the show ended last month, attended Motor City Comic Con this past weekend to talk about her time on the series. During the Q&A portion of the panel, the actress, who debuted as Sara Lance on Arrow nearly a full decade ago, revealed that one of Legends of Tomorrow Season 8’s central focuses would have dealt with the characters dealing with the consequences of their time crimes. Lotz explained (via Cosmic Circus):

After the Time Bureau shut down following Legends of Tomorrow Season 4, the Legends had gone back to protecting the timeline in their own special way. As it turned out though, there was another organization policing the timeline that didn’t take kindly to the protagonists changing a fixed point in time in the Season 7 finale, namely rescuing Alun, the love interest of Matt Ryan’s Gywn Davies, from dying in World War I. With the Legends being arrested for that and Mike being arrested for dereliction of his duties, naturally picking up with all these characters stuck in prison at the start of Season 8 was only logical.

From there, Legends of Tomorrow Season 8 would have trained alongside a young team of cadets about how to properly protect the timeline, with other plot threads including learning about Donald Faison’s version of Booster Gold and Sara Lance and Ava Sharpe preparing for the arrival of their child. The prison aspect of Season 8 is reminiscent of when Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen was stuck behind bars in Arrow Season 7, although at least the Legends would have also gone through an education program while serving their time. Alas, Legends of Tomorrow was instead canceled alongside Batwoman and numerous other CW shows, so unless it’s someday decided to give the time-traveling DC series proper closure within a comic book series, you’ll just have to imagine how these characters’ stories ended using the information Caity Lotz provided.

The only two Arrowverse series left standing are The Flash and Superman & Lois, both of which are returning for new seasons. The CW has also greenlit Gotham Knights, although that will be a self-contained DC series. Keep track of what’s currently on the air and what’ll premiere later this year with our 2022 TV schedule.

Every time a new show arrives on TV or any one of the various streaming services like Hulu and HBO Max, something has to get cut to make room for the new growth. It has happened before and will continue to happen as long as the medium is alive or until the lights finally go out. And 2022 is no different, as some of the biggest shows of the past decade (or longer) like Better Call Saul, Peaky Blinders, and The Walking Dead Season 11 will all air their final episodes at some point this year.

Below is a rather comprehensive list of all the TV shows that are ending or cancelled in 2022. There’s a lot to go over here, so let’s get started before another show is giving the axe or added to the list of titles leaving Netflix.

4400

The CW’s reboot of 4400, which followed a group of people who suddenly return after going missing with no memory of what happened, was one of the numerous series cancelled in May 2022. The show only lasted one season after premiering in October 2021.

A Discovery Of Witches

In December 2021, Digital Spy reported that the third and final season of the popular romantic drama A Discovery of Witches starring Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer would start up January 7, 2022. The series, which debuted in the UK in 2018 can be watched in its entirety on the AMC+ streaming platform.

Animal Kingdom

In April 2022, TNT finally announced the release date of the sixth and final season of the drama series Animal Kingdom, which is set to kick off Sunday, June 19, bringing an end to the epic saga of the Cody crime family.

Archive 81

Fans of the supernatural horror series Archive 81 were in for a shocker when Netflix announced the show, which was based on the podcast of the same name, would not be returning for a second season.

Arthur

The PBS Kids series Arthur, which is based on the collection of children’s books of the same name, has been releasing new episodes on a fairly consistent basis since September 1996. That run ends in 2022 when the show’s 25th and final season debuts, per the New York Times. However, PBS is leaving the door open for more Arthur content in the future.

After Life

The Ricky Gervais black comedy series After Life has called Netflix home its entire run dating back to March 2019, but that comes to an end when the third and final set of episodes debuted on the streaming service on January 14, 2022. The show’s final season was confirmed by the Netflix UK & Ireland Twitter account in December 2021.

Atlanta

Although it’s not one of the shows that got the ax, Donald Glover’s beloved FX series, Atlanta, will be ending its run following the release of the fourth and final season, which is slated to premiere at some point in fall 2022.

B Positive 

The Thomas Middleditch- and Annaleigh Ashford-starring CBS sitcom, B Positive, never really took off with audiences throughout its two-season run, which resulted in the network pulling the plug after the Season 2 finale in May 2015.

Batwoman

Gotham lost one of its protectors in April 2022 when The CW announced that Batwoman would not be returning for a fourth season, making the Season 3 finale also the final episode.

Better Call Saul

Since 2015, Vince Gilligan’s Better Call Saul has been one of the best shows, not just on AMC but TV in general. But everything must come to an end at some point, and that time has come for the the Bob Odenkirk-led dark comedy series. Better Call Saul Season 6 debuted April 18, 2022.

Better Things

The FX comedy series Better Things will come to an end when the show’s fifth and final season premiered on February 28, 2022. The series, which followed single mother and working actress Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon, who also co-created the show alongside Louis C.K.) first debuted back in September 2016, and was called a “frank and funny look at womanhood” in the CinemaBlend review.

The Big Leap

The Fox musical comedy-drama, The Big Leap, which followed a group of people who put it all on the line in a reality dance competition, won’t be returning for more episodes after Fox cancelled the series following one season, in March 2022.

Black-ish

Kenya Barris’ successful and influential comedy series black-ish kicked off its eighth and final season on ABC on January 4, 2022, starting the final chapter in the story of sitcom that has spawned multiple spinoffs and received numerous awards over the years including a Golden Globe, a Primetime Emmy, and more than two dozen NAACP Image Awards.

Black Market With Michael K. Williams

The Vice TV docuseries Black Market with Michael K. Williams will come to an end after its second and final season premiered January 10, 2022 on the network, per Variety. The series, which originally premiered back in 2016, was forced to come to an end following the shocking and untimely death of host Michael K. Williams in September 2021.

Bull

The popular CBS legal drama series, Bull, which centered on Michael Weatherly’s tenacious psychologist and jury expert, is not returning for a seventh season, though it got a chance to wrap things up with a two-part series finale in May 2022.

Charmed

After four seasons, The CW cancelled the Charmed reboot series in May 2022, alongside several other of the network’s notable shows.

Claws

The final episode of the TNT dramedy series Claws will air its final episode when Season 4 concluded February 6, 2022, a little less than five years after it debuted on the cable network.

Although all of these shows will be coming to an end at some point in 2022, there are still of plenty of new and returning series coming out throughout the year. If you want to stay in the know check out CinemaBlend's list of all the 2022 TV premiere dates.

The CW’s Arrowverse will be going into the 2022-23 TV season without two series, as the network has has cancelled Batwoman and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The latter series had an impressive seven-season run, gaining a passionate fan base in the process. Now, Caity Lotz and other stars from Legends are sharing their reactions to the cancellation.

Following The CW’s decision to pull the plug on Legends (which has given fans everything from hijinks to a cool soundtrack), Caity Lotz, who portrayed Sara Lance/White Canary/Captain of the Waverider, took to her Instagram stories to share a heartfelt message with fans about her time on the series and in the Arrowverse as a whole. And it's enough to make any longtime viewer emotional:

Caity Lotz entered the Arrowverse in 2013, when she began playing Lance on a recurring basis during Arrow's second season. Considering that she was also the last remaining original cast member on Legends of Tomorrow, this news could be especially hard for her to swallow.

In addition to the White Canary actress, Tala Ashe, who played Zari since Season 3, went on Instagram to share some memorable behind-the-scenes photos and reflect on her barrier-breaking role as the first Muslim-American, live-action superhero:

Having portrayed Nate Heywood/Steel since the second season, Nick Zano also posted a mix of behind-the-scenes photos to mark the occasion. The actor, who was already set to depart the show ahead of the cancellation, penned a lengthy and sweet message, saying that Legends has “the greatest, most loyal, most ride or die, fan base” among other emotional sentiments:

Adam Tsekhman, who's arguably had the wildest and most insane storylines on the series as Gary Green since the third season, also joined his fellow co-stars to share a short but sweet message on his Instagram. He praised the cast and crew and reflected on his time on the show:

The news of Legends of Tomorrow’s cancellation was confirmed by executive producer and co-showrunner Keto Shimizu. She expressed how heartbroken she was over the fact that there would be no Season 8 but thanked the cast, crew, and fans for their “love and passion” for the misfit group of heroes.

The Season 7 finale of Legends ended with some cliffhangers that now may never be resolved. The show introduced Scrubs alum Donald Faison, as Booster Gold, who was also utilized as an Easter Egg on The Flash prior to his debut. Also, the group of superheroes were heading to jail alongside Booster. On top of that, Sara was pregnant with Ava’s baby as a result of alien powers, and Nate lost his own abilities.

It's unknown if these storylines could continue in some way through The Flash or Superman & Lois. Hopefully, this won’t be the last time that viewers see the Legends and the Waverider. With heroes from Arrow, Supergirl, and Black Lightning making their way across the Arrowverse following the end of the shows' respective runs, Legends of Tomorrow alums could follow suit.

Be sure to check out what DC shows are coming up for 2022 to get your superhero fix.

The CW has said goodbye to one of its longest-running superhero series, as Legends of Tomorrow has officially been cancelled after seven seasons of time-travel adventures starring some of the most unlikely characters in the Arrowverse. The news comes just hours after the reports of Batwoman's cancellation after three seasons, and Legends executive producer and co-showruner Keto Shimizu shared her "heartbroken" reaction that there will be no Season 8.

Keto Shimizu took to Twitter to share the news of the cancellation with fans, many of whom have been campaigning for a renewal ever since the Season 7 finale cliffhanger in the 2021-2022 TV season and Legends being left out of the mass CW renewals (which included The Flash) back in March. She wrote:

The co-showrunner's message conveys the heartbreak and disappointment that Legends of Tomorrow – which was technically the third show to debut on The CW as part of the Arrowverse following Arrow and The Flash, since Supergirl started on CBS and didn't switch networks until after Legends' first season – won't see Season 8, but also expresses gratitude to the fans who have followed the Waverider throughout time and space. 

Any Legends fan knows that "strange bands of misfits" is a good thing when it comes to this show, which survived cast changes, bonkers plot twists, and an almost complete shift in tone from its first season. Keto Shimizu wasn't the only person who helped craft the long-running show to take to social media to share a message about the end of the show. A post from the Legends of Tomorrow Writers Room account reads: 

It's only fitting that the writers of Legends of Tomorrow mentioned some specific storylines from the seven seasons, ranging of course from Camelot to the inside of a computer. The post doesn't mention the legendary Beebo, but perhaps Beebo's legacy speaks for itself. He did get his own Christmas special, after all! And fans who already anticipate desperately missing the time travel show can know that the writers will feel the same.

It's especially tragic that the cancellation comes nearly two months after Season 7 ended on some wild cliffhangers, plus the introduction of none other than Booster Gold himself. That twist was in fact so wild that The Flash included an Easter egg nod to Donald Faison's new (and now, temporary) superhero character. Fans can always hope that the stories of Sara Lance and the rest of the Legends will continue in the form of comics, or at least learn from the writers what the plan was to resolve the cliffhanger. 

In the wake of the cancellation – which follows the ends of Arrow, Supergirl, Black Lightning, and most recently Batwoman – the Arrowverse is looking a whole lot smaller than it once did. You can revisit the heyday of Legends of Tomorrow with a Netflix subscription, as all seven season are available streaming now.

Spoilers ahead for the spring premiere of The Flash, “Impulsive Excessive Disorder.” 

Following a three-month hiatus, The CW’s The Flash finally returned, with the action picking up immediately after the Season 7 finale and pre-Armageddon. The episode highly revolved around Barry and Iris’ kids, Nora and Bart, following in their father’s footsteps and trying to fix the timeline. And one scene involved an Easter egg with DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and superhero Booster Gold.

When Nora and Bart returned to their own time after their parents’ vow renewals, the two speedsters began to notice that things were off when their Uncle Jay was alive, and also not married to anyone. They went to the Flash Museum and looked through old headlines to see what changed, and found one about Donald Faison’s Booster Gold visiting the White House. Nora wondered who Booster Gold is but Bart told her to just keep looking through.

Showrunner Eric Wallace discussed the series’ spring premiere with EW, including that Booster Gold reference. Scrubs star Donald Faison made his debut as the DC hero in the season finale of Legends of Tomorrow, which aired a week prior to The Flash’s spring premiere. Wallace explained the coincidental Easter egg and how it all worked out:

While the reference was quick and nearly a “blink and you’ll miss it” moment, it was still a nice surprise. It worked out pretty well that the Legends finale just so happened to air a week before The Flash returned, and this could have been a fun cameo for DC Comics fans overall, even if they don't also watch Legends of Tomorrow to see Faison as Booster Gold in the flesh.

Showrunner Eric Wallace also revealed how long it took to put the Easter egg together after calling the Legends showrunner:

What works so well about the connections between the Arrowverse shows is that they don't need giant crossovers to remind viewers of how closely they're tied together, when there are options like what Eric Wallace pulled together for a bit of Legends on The Flash. To know how excited Wallace and Phil Klemmer were to include the beloved DC Comics hero on The Flash, and how “into it” Donald Faison was, shows that they genuinely care about these shows and the character.

While The CW has yet to renew most of their shows for the 2022-2023 TV season, both The Flash and Legends are expected to come back, with the former possibly ending soon. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season of The Flash plays out and whether Booster Gold could team up with Team Flash next season. Fingers crossed that happens!

Will there be any more Booster Gold references or more hints about the timeline that was seemingly fixed by Nora and Bart? Find out in new episodes of The Flash airing on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on The CW! Check out CinemaBlend’s 2022 TV schedule to see what else to look forward to.

Warning! The following contains spoilers for the Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 finale, “Knocked Down, Knocked Up.” Read at your own risk!

DC’s Legends of Tomrorow closed out Season 7 in spectacular fashion, and I’m sure there are many fans who can’t wait to see what happens next. Unfortunately, it needs to be said right now that Season 8 is not a sure thing. That’s right, the Season 7 finale could be the series finale of the Arrowverse show, and to me, that’s just flat-out unacceptable. We need Season 8 to happen, especially after Donald Faison’s exciting debut. 

Donald Faison just debuted as the DC hero Booster Gold, and there are a lot more stories for the Legends to tell at the moment. Because that’s not a definitive thing just yet, let’s look at the top three reasons why we need Legends of Tomorrow to get at least one more season on television. 

Booster Gold Just Got Here

Donald Faison made his official debut in the Arrowverse as the time-traveling goofball hero of the DC Universe, Booster Gold. As if it’s any surprise, Faison absolutely crushed his guest-starring role and played the part of the deceitful time-traveler looking for a means to an end perfectly. No, he’s doesn't look exactly like Booster Gold does on the pages of DC Comics, but he nailed the tone of the character. Season 7 ended where it seemed like Booster might be cellmates with the Legends if they’re arrested, which is enough to make Season 8 mandatory, in my opinion. This is especially true if there’s a chance we get a Booster Gold spinoff series.

This Series Can’t End With The Legends Headed To Jail

Remember when Seinfeld ended with all the main characters headed to jail? Fans hated that, and bad finales can often tarnish the legacy of an otherwise celebrated series. The only thing worse is a series that ends before the writers realize it’s ending, and they didn’t write a fitting finale for the show. Based on what we saw at the end of Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, it seems like the writers believe they’ll be back for another season. I’m not sure why you’d plan an ending where they’re heading to jail with Booster Gold otherwise, so yeah, The CW needs to grant another season for that reason as well. 

We Need To See Ava And Sara’s Baby

Legends of Tomorrow did throw fans a curveball when Nate Heywood lost his powers and is the latest hero to leave the team (Nick Zano’s exit as a series regular was confirmed by TVLine). The good news is that there’s a baby on the way, as Sara is currently pregnant with Ava’s baby as a result of alien powers. As Gary said, it’s best not to think too deeply about it. Regardless, I love the twist that Sara is pregnant and that the new child took her powers of invulnerability. That’s going to create a complicated dynamic and force Sara to be a lot more careful, assuming Legends of Tomorrow gets another season. 

Legends of Tomorrow is done for Season 7, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it still needs confirmation to return to The CW for Season 8. Anyone with a Netflix subscription can catch Season 7 on streaming on Thursday, March 10th. 

There’s just two episodes left to go in Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 (which premiered last October), but if you thought this batch of episodes was out of surprises, think again. It’s been announced that Scrubs vet Donald Faison will appear in the Season 7 finale. While his character hasn’t been officially identified yet, the description that’s been provided for him sounds an awful lot like a DC Comics superhero who’s been a fan-favorite for several decades now: Booster Gold.

How Does Donald Faison Fit Into Legends Of Tomorrow?

The Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 finale, titled “Knocked Down, Knocked Up,” will air on Wednesday, March 2, and Donald Faison will appear in it as a mystery character who’s seeking “fame, fortune and glory.” Here’s the official description for this individual that The CW shared with EW:

Legends of Tomorrow showrunners Phil Klemmer and Keto Shimizu also said in an official statement that seeing Donald Faison with the show’s starring characters was “an absolute, side-splitting joy.” They also teased that if Legends of Tomorrow scores an eighth season, they “look forward to telling many more stories with him” and their “lovable misfits.” In addition to his run as Turk in all of Scrubs’ nine seasons, Faison’s notable credits include Clueless, Remember the Titans, Uptown Girls, Kick-Ass 2, The Exes and Star Wars Resistance. He’s also currently the lead voice and showrunner of Adult Swim’s Alabama Jackson.

Why Does Donald Faison’s Legends Character Sound Like Booster Gold?

For those who are unfamiliar with Booster Gold, in DC Comics lore, Michael Jon Carter hails from the 25th century and was a star quarterback in college until he was caught deliberately losing games to earn money. Expelled and disgraced, Carter took a job at a museum that had displays chronicling superhero history and also featured cool devices like a Legion of Super-Heroes flight ring and a force field belt that once belonged to Brainiac 5. 

After stealing some of these devices and a security robot named Skeets who had historical records stretching between the 20th and 25th centuries, Carter used Rip Hunter’s time sphere to travel to the present. His new goal: become a superhero so he could achieve fame and fortune, and while he didn’t choose to be called Booster Gold (he originally wanted to go by Goldstar), the name stuck with the public. Booster Gold is well known as one of the original members of the Justice League International, and outside of the comics, he’s appeared in Justice League Unlimited, Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Smallville, to name just a few projects. Back in 2019, the script for a Booster Gold movie was passed along to Warner Bros., but there’s been no update about its status since then.

Now, going off the description provided for Donald Faison’s mystery character in Legends of Tomorrow, obviously it doesn’t entirely match Booster Gold’s traditional history. That said, this individual being an unauthorized time traveler who doesn’t hesitate to take shortcuts to improve his standing in life, but is still a good guy deep down, fits Booster Gold to a T. Faison is also no stranger to playing boastful characters, so he’d be an excellent fit to bring Michael Jon Carter to life in the Arrowverse.

If it’s confirmed that Donald Faison is playing Booster Gold, I’ll be interested to see if this version of the character has any familial ties to Rip Hunter (played by Doctor Who’s Arthur Darvill in Legends of Tomorrow’s first three seasons), as his comics counterpart eventually learned that he’s Rip’s father. It should also be mentioned that Faison is also attached to play Professor Utonium in The CW’s live-action take on The Powerpuff Girls. However, after the pilot was shot and the script leaked online to negative reception, the network decided to rework it. If Faison does sign on as a series regular for the hypothetical Legends of Tomorrow Season 8, then it stands to reason the live-action Powerpuff Girls series would need to recast his role, assuming it still moves forward.

There are just two episodes left to go in Legends of Tomorrow Season 7’s run, but rest assured, we’ll let you know if the show returns for Season 8, as well as if Donald Faison joins the main cast. For now, you can use our 2022 TV schedule to keep track of what shows will premiere later in the year.

Television is now a couple of weeks into 2022, with some of the biggest shows on the broadcast networks already getting back into swing after paying off on midseason finale twists. By now, fans have had the chance to both tune in to their returning favorites as well as check out the shows like Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star that are launching new seasons, and series like CBS’ Good Sam that are premiering for the first time. So, we have a couple of weeks of ratings data by this point to look at and raise some questions about 2022 moving forward.

For these questions for the week of January 9, let’s look at the Live+Same day numbers in the 18-49 age demographic, which are the totals for ratings and audience size one day after the live broadcast. Even though delayed data after three and seven days is quite valuable, the Live+Same give away just how much of a priority viewers are giving to particular shows over others. And on that note, let’s start with a show that isn’t quite crushing its competition!

Does Good Sam Need A New Time Slot On CBS?

CBS got into the medical drama game in 2022 with the premiere of Good Sam, starring Chicago P.D. veteran Sophia Bush as the titular Sam. Although CBS gave the new show a big push before its premiere and medical dramas reliably deliver solid numbers in primetime, it’s not holding up compared to the competition in the 10 p.m. ET time slot on Wednesdays, which includes Bush’s former NBC show. ABC, CBS, and NBC all aired new episodes on January 12, and these were the Live+Same totals (via SpoilerTV):

• Chicago P.D./NBC: 0.7 rating and 5.8 million viewers
• The Chase/ABC: 0.3 rating and 2.15 million viewers
• Good Sam/CBS: 0.2 and 2.4 million viewers

In the previous week, Good Sam beat The Chase in both ratings and viewership, but came in second this week in the ratings, and the ABC show is closing the gap in audience size. Good Sam is unlikely to topple Chicago P.D. short of a P.D. rerun, and it’s possible that airing up against Sophia Bush’s old show isn’t ideal for the medical drama. CSI: Vegas, which is a crime drama that held CBS' 10 p.m. time slot against P.D. in the fall, got off to a stronger start in October with its 4.12 million and 0.46 rating.

Good Sam had a less impressive launch on January 5 with an audience of 2.7 million and 0.3 rating, and didn’t pick up Live+Same steam in its second week, indicating that it won’t be serious competition for P.D. on NBC and may remain neck and neck with The Chase, which is a game show. I can’t help but wonder if Good Sam simply doesn’t pair well The Amazing Race, which airs on CBS at 9 p.m. ET. It could theoretically do better paired with a drama, and perhaps airing earlier than 10 p.m. 

As somebody who was surprised at the start of the 2021-2022 TV season to see CBS lead into NCIS’ new time slot with a pair of comedies, I could see a switch of Good Sam to Mondays at 8 p.m. ahead of NCIS, with The Neighborhood and Bob Hearts Abishola moved to Wednesdays. Both comedies are already strong performers and viewers could potentially follow the shows to Wednesdays, while Good Sam might stand a better shot on a night of dramas in an earlier slot. Medical dramas are hits on other networks, so there may be a way for CBS to pull it off as well.

Does The CW Really Need More Superhero Shows?

News broke this week that The CW is developing another superhero TV show, this time starring Arrow alum David Ramsey as John Diggle. As a former Arrow loyalist, I was happy to see that one of the heroes who help establish the entire Arrowverse could get his own show; upon looking at the ratings for The CW’s four superhero series that aired this week, however, I find myself doubting that the network really needs more superhero shows. Sorry, Digg!

The first superhero series to hit the network this week was Superman & Lois with its Season 2 premiere on Tuesday at 8 p.m., which (according to SpoilerTV) scored a rating of 0.23 and audience of slightly over 1 million. Those are actually pretty solid numbers for The CW, but also likely to drop off in non-premiere episodes. New series Naomi followed at 9 p.m., with a 0.14 rating and audience of 0.8 million, which is more on par with what solid CW shows deliver regularly. But again, that was a premiere, and numbers will likely drop next week. 

And that brings us to the other two CW superhero shows of the week, which aired on Wednesday night. Legends of Tomorrow’s Season 7 midseason premiere hit a rating of 0.11 and audience of 0.56 million at 8 p.m., with Batwoman’s return at 9 p.m. faring worse (albeit not by much) with 0.08 rating and audience of 0.52 million. 

Admittedly, these totals do leave off The Flash, which is currently the Arrowverse’s longest-running show with a Season 8 that averages a SpoilerTV rating of 0.17 and audience of 0.72 million. The Grant Gustin series won’t be back until March, but unless it gets a big boost, it won’t have the totals to give much of a ratings boost to the Arrowverse. 

In the grand scheme of things, the Arrowverse's current slate just isn’t hitting the same kinds of numbers that it did in its heyday, and I’m not convinced that the solution is adding another show. Admittedly, Superman & Lois is one of the newest shows and also consistently among The CW’s higher-rated series, but can we expect less of a show starring the Man of Steel that doesn’t require an immense knowledge of the other shows? 

I’m also not so sure that The Flash has many more seasons left, and the end of Flash after Supergirl and Arrow would mark the end of arguably the Arrowverse’s most prosperous era. A new show anchored by a series regular from the very first season of the Arrowverse with John Diggle has a shot, but I’m just not sure that The CW needs more superheroes. 

Would it really be a ratings discussion without bringing up television’s biggest franchises? As of the beginning of 2022, we have NCIS (three shows), FBI (three shows), One Chicago (three shows) Law & Order (soon-to-be three shows), and Grey’s Anatomy/Station 19 (two shows). I’m leaving out The CW's Arrowverse as a franchise because… well, see above. Grey’s and Station 19 aren’t back yet in the new year, but the other numbers paint a picture of franchise supremacy. 

The NCIS franchise is comprised of NCIS: LA, which won its most recent Sunday night in both ratings and viewership with 0.5 rating and 5.3 million viewers; NCIS, which had the largest audience size and some of the highest ratings in its most recent Monday night with 0.47 and 6.9 million; and NCIS: Hawai’i, following NCIS on Mondays to win the 10 p.m. time slot with 0.38 and 4.9 million. 

All three FBI shows were new on Tuesday, January 11, and two of the three won their time slots. FBI started the night on CBS with 0.7 rating and 8.4 million viewers to easily beat the competition; FBI: International was the second-highest rated drama at 9 p.m., with its 0.5 rating falling beyond This Is Us on NBC, but International easily won in audience size with 6.2 million; and FBI: Most Wanted, taking CBS back to the top at 10 p.m. with 0.5 rating and 5.56 million, topping NBC’s New Amsterdam and ABC’s Queens. 

And this brings us to NBC’s One Chicago on Wednesday nights, which is by far my favorite franchise block of primetime when it comes to ratings consistency. On January 12, Chicago Med dominated at 8 p.m. with 0.8 and 7.3 million; Chicago Fire crushed its competition at 9 p.m. with 0.8 and 7.4 million; and Chicago P.D. finished the night strong with 0.7 and 5.8 million. 

And what of the two Law & Order shows on Thursday nights in the final weeks before the original returns? Law & Order: SVU got the night of January 13 off to a dark start even by SVU standards at 9 p.m., but was the top drama of the night with 0.6 rating and 4.1 million; Law & Order: Organized Crime followed at 10 p.m. to win its own slot with 0.5 and 3.1 million. 

So, what does all of this mean? While NCIS is proof that a show that dominates in audience size won’t necessarily come out on top in the Live+Same ratings, and there are exceptions to the rule of franchises winning, shows with spinoffs (or that are spinoffs) tend to do very well for their networks.

The Law & Orders may be shaken up when Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 return to ABC in February, but the revival of the original Law & Order could bolster the NBC series’ numbers. And what’s not to admire about One Chicago’s consistency? Franchises tend to deliver some of the most reliable numbers across primetime, and that could mean more and more spinoffs. 

NBC has had a hit in This Is Us from the very beginning, but the end is nigh with the the current sixth and final season. With current averages of 0.9 rating and 5.24 million viewers, it’s probably safe to say that it will continue dominating Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. until the end. But what does network TV have that could become the next This Is Us-sized hit? 

Back when A Million Little Things premiered, it struck me as ABC’s answer to This Is Us, but never gained the same kind of ratings foothold. Currently in its fourth season, I can’t see A Million Little Things becoming the next This Is Us.  I’m also not sure that I can see any current TV show filling that void. 

The franchises that are slowly taking over primetime don’t fit into the same genre as This Is Us with its focus on character and family dynamics, and I’m not sure that any of the standalones can pick up enough steam. So, I think it’s time to start keeping an eye on news for new pilots and shows in development that could be the next biggest hit on television. 

NBC is reportedly working on a revival of Quantum Leap, which would be a high-profile premiere, although even farther from the This Is Us genre than the likes of NCIS, FBI, and the Law & Orders. It’s worth also keeping an eye on the ratings in Live+Same day to show just how much fans continue to prioritize watching This Is Us. 

Clearly, there’s a lot happening in 2022 when it comes to television already, and the winter season will just keep heating up once shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19, and maybe even The Flash are back. Be sure to check back with CinemaBlend next week for more ratings breakdowns, and take a look at our 2022 winter and spring premiere schedule for the TV dates you need to know.

Underdog Arrowverse series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow aired its 100th episode late last year, and it included plenty of familiar faces that used to be a part of the misfit group of heroes. Among them was Brandon Routh, who portrayed Ray Palmer a.k.a. The Atom in Arrow before shifting to the spin-off series. The actor left the show in Season 5, and although it wasn’t on good terms, he still returned for the 100th episode and he recently explained why.

Brandon Routh was a guest on Smallville alum Michael Rosenbaum’s podcast Inside of You, and during the conversation he discussed returning to the Arrowverse to partake in Legends of Tomorrow’s milestone episode. Routh’s exit wasn’t the greatest, and he opened up about why he and wife Courtney Ford wanted to return the Waverider:

It’s been revealed before that Brandon Routh’s departure from Legends of Tomorrow was one that was not up to him. While he didn’t have the best experience when he left, he seemed pretty happy to come back. 

Routh opened up about what it was like being back on set and working with his former co-stars, and it sounds like he made the right decision coming back:

Brandon Routh has opened up before how Courtney Ford's and his exit from Legends of Tomorrow was not handled very well. Their departures were somewhat complicated, as Routh did not want to leave the Arrowverse show. It’s nice that when given the opportunity to return, the actor was all for it.

Routh was quick to pick up a new role after Legends of Tomorrow. He had a short stint as a T.O. on The Rookie, portraying a very complicated officer with questionable reasoning. This year he will be lending his voice to new animated TV series Magic: The Gathering, based on the popular card game. Routh also returned to the Arrowverse once again to reprise Ray Palmer in The Flash’s big “Armageddon” event late last year.

It’s unknown whether or not Brandon Routh could return to the Arrowverse once again, since characters are known to make small appearances across shows – like David Ramsey’s John Diggle. Hopefully we’ll be seeing Ray Palmer once again soon.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow will always stand out among the Arrowverse shows for just how far out of the superhero box it will go. Just like the characters, the show itself is a misfit amongst the more conventional comic book series, and the series has also provided fans with some pretty iconic moments unlike anything else on TV. And some of those most memorable moments involve none other than Beebo.

A furry, blue toy, Beebo is as huggable and lovable as Elmo, though Beebo was actually at one point a god on Legends of Tomorrow. He’s been used to end supervillains and almost ended our favorite heroes. However, he still remains a favorite in the fandom and The CW gave fans an early Christmas present with an animated Christmas special centered on him and his love of the holidays.

Beebo Saves Christmas is indeed an actual Christmas special on The CW, and not something that even Legends fans expecting the unexpected could have seen coming. Beebo’s own voice actor Ben Diskin told Give Me My Remote why he couldn’t believe it at first:

In all honesty, it was just a matter of time before The CW created something involving strictly Beebo and his blue, fluffy cuteness. However, fans are still hoping for an actual Beebo toy that they can take home with them and love and hug for the holidays. The stuffed toy has become such a staple on Legends that it’s been used in main posters and even on Comic-Con bags, so hopefully a real toy is next.

Meanwhile, Legends of Tomorrow is on its hiatus following a shocking cliffhanger in the midseason finale. It was revealed that the Legends everyone has been watching are being followed by other Legends, and it’s hard to tell who are the real ones and who are the doppelgangers. The series won’t be returning until 2022, so fans have plenty of time to theorize and predict just what could possibly be happening.

Hopefully a Beebo Christmas special will become an annual thing, whether it’s on TV or just online because one can never get enough of that fluffy blue creature. For when Legends of Tomorrow and other shows will return in the new year, be sure to check out our 2022 winter and spring premiere schedule!

Spoilers ahead for Season 7, Episode 6 of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, “Deus Ex Latrina.” Read at your own risk!

Matt Ryan’s time as John Constantine on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow came to an end during Season 6. Though he is no longer portraying the occultist, he is playing the new character Dr. Gwyn Davies, a scientist trying to invent time travel, naturally. After meeting with the Legends in 1925, the bearded brainiac tries to help them get back to their own timeline, as they no longer have the Waverider to rely on. Ryan recently opened up about Dr. Gwyn’s story opening up with an important reveal in the latest episode.

Episode 706 features a vulnerable and beautiful moment between Dr. Gwyn and Zari where he reveals that he loved a man in his unit is beautiful and the way that the writers portrayed Dr. Gwyn is so important. Matt Ryan spoke to TVLine about the reveal, saying he was happy to play another LGBTQ+ character within the Legends of Tomorrow universe, and compared the characters' sexualities in relation to their timelines.

One does wonder what Dr. Gwyn would think of King Shark. In any case, after it was thought that Dr. Gwyn had fixed the team's hand-crafted time machine, there were too many people aboard, and they ended up in an unfamiliar time and a place. Dr. Gwyn was rightfully upset about it not working, and then opened up to Zari 1.0 about a soldier in his World War I unit getting killed, and how close they were.

With Matt Ryan portraying both Constantine and Dr. Gwyn, two completely different and unrelated characters, it’s interesting to see how the representation still flows throughout . The backstory for Dr. Gwyn is already more delicate and less overtly salacious than Constantine's, and Ryan went on about changes in societal norms from the 1920s to today, in regards to why Dr. Gwyn may not have felt that same sense of security in his own time.

Dr. Gwyn’s story has already been one of the better parts of Season 7 of Legends of Tomorrow so far, and seeing how this story will move forward will definitely be something to look forward to. Hopefully he'll be able to find peace in one way or another. 

Warning! The following contains spoilers for Legends of Tomorrow’s 100th episode “Wvrdr_error_100 not found.” Read at your own risk!

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow reached its 100th-episode hallmark in Season 7, and celebrated that sign of success by giving fans (and the cast and crew) a reunion featuring nearly every former member of the Legends crew that ever graced the Waverider. This reunion was all possible after Spooner and Astra took a dive into the human Gideon’s mind and helped walk her through some old memories, with Caity Lotz leading the charge as the episode's director. 

For fans of the long-running CW series, it was a big treat to see folks like Wentworth Miller, Victor Garber, and Arthur Darville again. One incredibly wonderful scene featured old and new cast members from throughout the series standing on the sides of the hallway while Gideon walked out of her mind and back to the real world. Star and director Caity Lotz talked about the scene with EW and admitted she initially thought it could come across as “really corny.”

I didn’t think the moment came off as corny, and that’s an accomplishment, given how the Arrowverse can definitely err on the corny side during sentimental moments. Caity Lotz did right by Legends of Tomorrow with this particular scene, though, and ultimately created a moment that may go down as one of the more memorable passages of the series. 

Even if it’s not one of the most memorable bit for the fans with its lack of time-travel bafflements, it seems like the Legends of Tomorrow cast won’t soon forget it. Caity Lotz talked about gathering the cast of the series, past and present, for Gideon’s happy memories scene and how they felt about the moment while shooting it.

Gideon finally recovered and found her way back to the real world, but it wasn’t a totally happy 100th episode. Elsewhere, Legends of Tomorrow revealed that Bishop created another Gideon that’s devoid of her humanity. Presumably, that duplicate is captaining the other Waverider that destroyed the Legends' Waverider, but we’ll have to keep an eye out and see what’s next in Season 7. 

Legends of Tomorrow airs on The CW on Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET. Season 7 is a blast so far, though I’m down for some more antics with the Bullet Blondes. Luckily, we’ll be getting more of them next episode and, hopefully, some answers for this season’s mystery Waverider.

Underdog Arrowverse series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is about to hit the 100-episode mark. The milestone installment, which airs October 27, will include returns from previous misfit heroes such as Brandon Routh's Atom and Arthur Darvill's Rip Hunter, and it will all be directed by Sara Lance/White Canary herself, Caity Lotz. To be expected, Lotz was not at all bummed out about leading her former co-starts into the Season 7 chaos.

There arguably wouldn’t be a Legends of Tomorrow if not for Sara Lance, so it makes sense that Caity Lotz has the honor of directing the series’ 100th episode. Returning cast members include the aforementioned Brandon Routh and Arthur Darvill, along with Franz Drameh, Cortney Ford, Victor Garber, and Wentworth Miller. Lotz previewed the episode in an interview with TVLine and mentioned just how it was directing in front of some of the returning cast members whom she had never directed before:

Caity Lotz has directed previous Legends of Tomorrow chapters before, but directing the 100th episode could not have been an easy task. Though when she’s surrounded by current and former costars, it probably made things slightly more enjoyable for her to go through those challenges. And as the only remaining original cast member from Season 1, Lotz was thrilled to be reuniting with her costars and directing them:

The 100th episode of Legends of Tomorrow will find newest Legends Astra and Spooner trying to save human Gideon as a virus is destroying her memories. In the process of figuring out a way to stop the virus, the two come across some "memories" from previous seasons that feature some familiar faces within the Waverider. It will definitely be nice to see some of the old Legends again and it makes me hopeful this won’t be the last time we see them!

Legends of Tomorrow airs on The CW every Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. ET, and don't forget about everything else hitting the 2021 Fall TV schedule soon!

Following her time on Arrow, Caity Lotz’s Sara Lance hopped over to Legends of Tomorrow, and with Dominic Purcell’s Mick Rory departing at the end of Season 6, she and Amy Louise Pemberton’s Gideon (who’s now taken human form) are the only original series regulars left on the Waverider. Clearly Sara’s time traveling escapades aren’t ending anytime soon, but it’s also been a while since she reunited with her family, specifically Laurel Lance. Well, Lotz is game for Katie Cassidy to come aboard for some Legends of Tomorrow fun.

The last time we saw Laurel Lance, specifically the Earth-2 version who goes by Black Siren, was in Arrow’s series finale “Fadeout,” where she attended Oliver Queen’s funeral and questioned why she was saved after “Crisis on Infinite Earths” rebooted the universe rather than her deceased original Earth-1 counterpart. But as we’ve seen with John Diggle popping up on various Arrowverse shows recently, just because Arrow ended doesn’t mean Katie Cassidy couldn’t reprise Laurel elsewhere, and Caity Lotz is eager to re-team with Cassidy on Legends of Tomorrow, telling TV Line:

Legends of Tomorrow would certainly be the most logical place for Laurel Lance to resurface, and while the Earth-2 Laurel obviously doesn’t have the same dynamic with this reality’s Sara Lance that Earth-1 Laurel did, it would be nice to see their relationship fleshed out. Plus, as Caity Lotz pointed out, this would also allow for us to check in with Paul Blackthorne’s Quentin Lance, Sara and Laurel’s father who was resurrected by the  “Crisis on Infinite Earths” craziness. We also haven’t seen Alex Kingston’s Dinah Lance since the Arrow Season 4 episode “Canary Cry,” so we’re due for another encounter with Sara and Laurel’s mother.

For now though, Sara Lance has other matters to attend to, as she and the other Legends are stuck in 1925 after another version of the Waverider destroyed their Waverider in the Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 finale. They’re now searching for Gwyn Davies (played by Matt Ryan, who previously starred as John Constantine), an early pioneer in time travel, for his assistance in getting back to the present day. It’s practically guaranteed they’ll eventually accomplish that goal, but taking into account that the Legends of Tomorrow writers have also likely plotted out most, if not all of Season 7 already, there may not be any room to include a Sara/Laurel reunion. So if you want that to happen, cross your fingers for Season 8 to be ordered.

You can enjoy Legends of Tomorrow Season 7’s antics (including what the 100th episode has coming up) Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on The CW. Meanwhile, Katie Cassidy will next appear alongside Mel Gibson, Dermot Mulroney and fellow Arrow actress Katherine McNamara in the spy thriller Agent Game, which doesn’t have a release date yet.

Warning! The following contains spoilers for the Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 premiere “The Bullet Blondes.” Read at your own risk!

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow doesn’t often disappoint, and the Season 7 premiere was no exception, with two big reveals shaking things up for the superpowered ensemble. Audiences likely already knew about one of those reveals, as actress Amy Louise Pemberton joined The CW superhero show as a series regular to play the flesh and blood version of her long-voiced character, Gideon. But don’t expect for the season to be an easy ride for the artificially intelligent being to navigate, even though that was totally her jam before.

Executive producer Phil Klemmer confirmed Gideon’s human transformation is a joy for the character, but it won’t be without its struggles. Klemmer talked about the highs and lows of that experience in an interview with TVLine and teased some of the troubles ahead for Amy Louise Pemberton's Gideon.

Phil Klemmer explained that the human experience will conflict with things Gideon believed to be true as an artificial intelligence, which will cause her some complications as she gets used to everything else about having limbs and hair and stuff. Klemmer also noted that while Gideon will retain most of what she knew prior to becoming human, it’ll be stuffed into a human brain and fall prey to its limitations. That meshing is going to create some “dissonance,” as Klemmer put it, which sounds like Gideon will struggle not just in adapting to her humanity, but in letting go of her data-driven past. 

That’s terrible news for the Legends of Tomorrow characters in the short term, as they could use Gideon at her best to help them out of the jam they caused in 1925. The Waverider exploded following an attack by another Waverider, blocking their means of time travel. Their gadgets are useless, and Nate accidentally killed J. Edgar Hoover. Gideon can’t solve all the problems the team has at the moment, clearly, but one has to think she’ll be able to at least help them repair the ship and some of their broken tech with her expansive memory. We’ll just have to wait and see how it goes, though, because solutions are rarely so cut and dry with the Legends. 

Legends of Tomorrow airs on The CW Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET. For more on the series, read up on the plans for the 100th episode and which actors are set to return for the big event.

A TV series reaching its 100th episode is definitely a milestone worth celebrating, though how that’s done obviously depends on what you’re watching. For Legends of Tomorrow, it’s celebrating this accomplishment by bringing in many former cast members. We learned last week that Wentworth Miller will reprise Leonard Snart/Captain Cold for the 100th episode, i.e. Season 7’s third episode, and now six other familiar faces have been unveiled.

Along with Wentworth Miller and Legends of Tomorrow Season 7’s main cast, the series’ 100 episode will also feature the return of Arthur Darvill’s Rip Hunter, Victor Garber’s Martin Stein, Franz Drameh’s Jefferson Jackson (who made up Firestorm with Stein), Falk Hentschel’s Carter Hall/Hawkman, Brandon Routh’s Ray Palmer/The Atom and Courtney Ford’s Nora Darhk. Take a look at everyone back together on the Waverider set below:

For those of you who haven’t learned yet what Legends of Tomorrow’s 100th episode holds in store, Season 7 sees the Waverider’s AI Gideon becoming human, with the character’s voice actor, Amy Louise Pemberton, also portraying her in flesh and blood form. However, in this particular episode, Gideon has a meltdown, and to reboot her, Olivia Swann’s Astra Logue and Lisseth Chavez’s Spooner Cruz delve into Gideon’s memories to help her remember the Legends. During their mental journey, Astra and Spooner will witness unseen moments from Legends of Tomorrow past, hence the presence of these former crew members.

You’ll notice that with the exception of Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford, all the former Legends of Tomorrow cast members who are returning for the 100th episode exited in Seasons 1, 2 or 3, before the show really leaned into its present-day comedic sensibilities. As co-showrunner Keto Shimizu informed EW, this milestone episode served as a way for these actors who departed years ago to enjoy Legends of Tomorrow’s “wild and playful tone” that wasn’t as strong in those earlier seasons, saying:

Bringing together so many people for Legends of Tomorrow’s 100th episode certainly wasn’t easy, especially since the show shoots in Vancouver, Canada, and international visitors have to quarantine for two weeks upon entering the country. As such, co-showrunner Phil Klemmer revealed that they did “cast first and wrote second,” since who would be available would dictate what Gideon’s memories would be. After getting as much of Season 7’s third episode “on the board” as possible ahead of casting, Klemmer and the writing team moved to hashing out this season’s fourth episode. Once that was done, the returning actors for the 100th episode had been nailed down, allowing the writers to finish the story.

Phil Klemmer also mentioned how they would’ve “loved” to get people like Ciara Renée’s Hawkgirl, Dominic Purcell’s Heat Wave and Casper Crump’s Vandal Savage back for Legends of Tomorrow’s 100th episode, but this is still an impressive lineup that’s been assembled. While Purcell exited as a series regular at the end of Season 6, it’s been indicated he’ll recur during Season 7, so presumably Legends of Tomorrow fans don’t have to worry about this season being entirely Heat Wave-less. And sure, it would nice to see other familiar faces, like Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Keiyan Lonsdale, but seven former cast members alongside Season 7’s main cast is nothing to scoff at. From what’s been revealed so far, the 100th episode is shaping up to be something special, even by this show’s standards.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 premieres tonight at 8 p.m. ET on The CW, and the 100th episode will play at the same time on October 27. Be sure to browse through our fall 2021 TV premiere schedule to discover when your other favorite shows are airing.

With Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 just one week away from premiering (not too long after Season 6 concluded), Caity Lotz, who plays Sara Lance, is the only cast member left on the show who’s been around since the beginning. As the years have passed, many Waverider crew members have either departed on their own accord or died in battle. One of the people in the latter group is Wentworth Miller’s Leonard Snart, a.k.a. Captain Cold, but word’s come in that we’ll be reuniting with him in Legends of Tomorrow’s 100th episode.

Now before any of you get too excited, no, Leonard Snart is not being resurrected. Instead, Legends of Tomorrow’s 100th episode, which is being directed by Caity Lotz, will revisit key moments from the series through Gideon, the Waverider’s AI, who’s played Amy Louise Pemberton and will star in Season 7 full time in human form. So Snart will be part of this trip down memory lane, and here’s what Legends of Tomorrow executive producer Phil Klemmer had to say about this premise to TV Line:

Phil Klemmer added that they wanted the “newest generation of Legends,” like Astra and Spooner, to “meet up with some of the original gang.” So count on some other “special guest stars” to pop up alongside Leonard Snart in Legends of Tomorrow’s milestone episode. The 100th episode, titled "WVRDR_ERROR_100 notFound,” is set to be Season 7’s third episode in the lineup, following "The Bullet Blondes" and "The Need for Speed.”

After serving as a recurring villain/anti-hero in The Flash Season 1 and the first chunk of Season 2, Leonard Snart made the jump to Legends of Tomorrow with his partner-in-crime Mick Rory, a.k.a. Heatwave. As Season 1 progressed, Leonard evolved into a more heroic character, and in the season’s penultimate episode, he sacrificed his life to blow up the Time Masters, who were allied with Vandal Savage. When Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 rolled around, Wentworth Miller returned as a younger Leonard who was still set in his villainous ways and was part of the Legion of Doom with Eobard Thawne, Malcolm Merlyn and Damien Darhk. Then in Season 3, following the “Crisis on Earth X” crossover event, Miller stuck around for a few episodes as Leo Snart, a hero from Earth-X who called himself Citizen Cold.

It’ll be nice to see Wentworth Miller back in the Legends of Tomorrow environment, even if it’s just briefly, and I’m curious about which memory of Leonard Snart Gideon will recall during the 100th episode. We’ll keep you apprised of any other major characters from the show’s past who are announced to return, but for now, you can look forward to Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 premiering on Wednesday, October 13 on The CW.

The Season 6 finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is almost here, and the lead-up to it has been a wild ride for the Legends thus far. A seventh season is already in place, and some major changes are on the horizon for the Arrowverse's band of misfit heroes, like the departure of Dominic Purcell, who has played Mick Rory since the first season. But before all of that, series regular Jes Macallan just wants to see how fans react to the finale.

Jes Macallan, who plays former Time Bureau director Ava Sharpe, told TVLine that fans aren't going to want to miss the last five minutes of the Legends of Tomorrow season finale, which airs over Labor Day weekend. Apparently, it's going to be an eventful installment and, though Macallan didn’t give away too much, her comments are sure to get fans excited (and nervous) for what’s to come:

Legends of Tomorrow is known for dishing out insane season finales (need I remind you of a giant Beebo?) But with what's been happening on the show lately, including the aliens, John Constantine’s deteriorating condition, and the highly-anticipated Avalance wedding, it'll definitely be interesting to see just what the series has in store.

One thing that definitely seems clear is that the season finale will spell the end for one John Constantine, played by Matt Ryan. Throughout this season, Constantine’s magic has not been kind to him, as it’s been mortally wounding him every time he uses it. Back in July, it was revealed that Constantine will exit from Team Legends, but that doesn’t mean Ryan will be leaving as well. He will actually be playing a new character, Dr. Gwyn Davies, a 20th century scientist that the Legends will have to rely on.

Expectations are high, but the Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 finale, should be a good one. It's safe to say Jes Macallan's comments are going to have some fans up at night, wondering what they can expect from those last five minutes. The actress truly makes it sound as though the last few minutes are going to change things on the series forever. Here's hoping there's some true happiness to be found in Season 6's closing installment.

The Season 6 finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airs Sunday, September 5 at 8 p.m. EST on The CW! In the meantime, check out the surprise soundtrack that recently dropped, which features all your favorites from the Arrowverse series!

Matt Ryan has had a wild ride as John Constantine, starting over on NBC before turning up on Arrow and then migrating over to Legends of Tomorrow. Now, however, Ryan's journey as Constantine is nearly at an end, nearly seven years after it began with the Constantine series premiere in fall 2014. The character has had some highs and lows during his time as a Legend starting back in Season 3, but there is one thing that Ryan didn't want for him in his big exit: a happy ending.

While most actors might hold out for their characters to get a happy ending, especially if they've been inhabiting that role for a long time, that wasn't the case with Matt Ryan and John Constantine. With the Season 6 finale a little over a week away for the big farewell to Constantine, Ryan spoke to TVLine about what kind of ending he wanted to give him:

Constantine may have changed and grown over his years as a Legend, but even spending several seasons dealing with the bonkers twists and turns of Legends of Tomorrow didn't make him fully forget who he was before. Matt Ryan evidently didn't want Constantine to ride off into the sunset, or seemingly even anything as bittersweet as the endings that Ray Palmer and Amaya received, although it remains to be seen just how the show really does wrap his story. Maybe it won't be altogether unhappy!

That said, it seems likely that Constantine's ending won't be quite as open-ended as the likes of Ray Palmer, as proven by the fact that Brandon Routh is returning to his role after being written out of Legends of Tomorrow in Season 5. Matt Ryan is sticking around, but Constantine isn't. News broke earlier in the summer that while Constantine is leaving the Legends, Ryan will be back in Season and 7 as a new character: a 20th century doctor by the name of Dr. Gwyn Davies who the Legends will have to rely on.

Sure, Legends had two Zaris around for a while, but Matt Ryan seems ready to close the door on Constantine, without a happy ending. Still, that doesn't mean fans should 100% count on Constantine dying in the upcoming Season 6 finale, or anything equally tragic. Back at the panel for Legends of Tomorrow at SDCC@Home, the actor said:

John Constantine can't very well "walk his path alone" and "part ways with the Legends" if he's dead, right?! After Matt Ryan made his debut on a Constantine solo series on NBC that got the axe, made what was supposed to be a one-off guest appearance on Arrow, landed a recurring role on Legends of Tomorrow, and then fit in with the whackiness so surprisingly well that he was bumped up to series regular, it would be a shame if fans were left without any hope at all for Constantine.

There are still a couple episodes of Season 6 left before the final credits roll on Constantine and Matt Ryan gets into gear to play a new character, so be sure to keep tuning in to Legends of Tomorrow on Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW to find out what happens next. Interestingly, Legends won't actually be off the air that long following the finale, as the hiatus between seasons will last only a little over a month. Season 7 will premiere in the fall TV lineup on October 13, making a change in time slot from Sundays to Wednesdays.

Underdog Arrowverse series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is by far the least serious of the CW superhero series. Between overgrown blue toys and unicorns, Legends remains a one-of-a-kind show on the network. And now the series has gone into brand new territory for fans to enjoy from home at their leisure: the streaming music world.

Yes, Legends of Tomorrow quietly dropped the soundtrack called DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow: The Mixtape, and fans can now listen to songs from the series including “Mr. Parker’s Cul-De-Sac,” “The Fairy Godmother,” “Puppets of Tomorrow” and “I Surrender.” The soundtrack is available on both Spotify and Apple Music in all its insane glory. And it’s almost as great as the series itself.

Another song on the soundtrack is “Amazing Grace,” performed by Degrassi’s Luke Bilyk who played Legends of Tomorrow's one and only King of Rock ‘n Roll, Elvis Presley. The Season 3 song takes fans back to a somewhat simpler time on Legends, when the team included Zari 1.0, Wally West, and Amaya. The episode is deemed by some fans as one of the show’s best as the Legends tried to save the King’s career following a lost totem. Like a lot of the storylines on the show, the episode also touched on a true story about Elvis Presley, when his twin brother, Jesse, was stillborn.

A song on the soundtrack that is bound to go on repeat for some fans is of course “Mr. Parker’s Cul-De-Sac.” The Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood parody is surprisingly catchy and Brandon Routh made a perfect Mr. Parker when he found himself in the kids’ show. While nothing will ever compare to Mister Rogers, Mr. Parker’s Cul-De-Sac did come close. But it was pretty hilarious to see Ray Palmer parody the legendary host, and fans even got a great song out of it.

Legends of Tomorrow is definitely known for some crazy and insane storylines that are still hard to believe actually happened. One of them was when the team got turned into puppets, temporarily. This resulted in the majority of the team bursting into song about asking for help and singing about the “Puppets of Tomorrow.” They also acted like they were on a kids’ show and it was quite hilarious. Fans will be happy to know that they will now be able to listen to the “Puppets of Tomorrow” whenever they want.

One song that many fans have loved since hearing it is the Bollywood-themed tune of “I Surrender,” featuring the voices of half the Legends of Tomorrow cast. While the episode consisted of a Jane Austen plotline, the random song is actually pretty beautiful. And fans can finally listen to it as much as they want. DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow: The Mixtape includes 21 songs from the CW series, so fans will be able to take Legends wherever they go. And it’s pretty awesome.

While talking about mental and developmental disorders, diagnoses, and just openness about mental health in general used to be pretty taboo, open conversations are starting to be had in many different ways. Celebrities are also starting to break their silence on these topics and, now, Legends of Tomorrow vet Wentworth Miller has broken his internet silence to reveal his autism diagnosis with a very candid message to his fans.

Wentworth Miller deleted all of his public social media sites a few years ago and recently created new accounts for fans to follow. In his most recent post on his new Instagram, Miller candidly reflected on being diagnosed with autism over the course of the pandemic.

While in the post he says that he has suspected himself to be autistic and had previously self-diagnosed himself, Wentworth Miller also acknowledged that this coming fall will mark his one-year anniversary of being formally diagnosed as an autistic person. He goes on to say that the diagnosis process was a long one and expresses his feelings that the process needs updating and improving.

In an introspective statement and nod to those less fortunate than himself, Wentworth Miller states that he considers himself fortunate to be able to say he has been formally diagnosed. Even though conversations about mental and developmental disorders are becoming less taboo in the modern world, there still seems to be a large amount of privilege associated with getting help or formal acknowledgement of those disorders.

A large part of Wentworth Miller’s candid statement about his recent diagnosis is the recognition that it is still fairly new to him and that he does not know nearly everything there is to know about autism. With this, he spoke about how he plans to approach being a new member of the autism community. Here’s exactly what the Prison Break star says on that front:

This is not the first time Wentworth Miller has used his voice to shed light on the traits that make up who he is as a person as well as issues that matter. Almost a decade ago, Miller came out publicly as a gay man and actually released a statement in which he said that he no longer wished to play straight characters. This was due to the fact that he felt their voices and their stories had been told time and time again. Queer representation has since improved drastically, but some franchises are just now beginning to break that barrier.

Representation of the autistic community exists, but it honestly isn’t nearly as present in film and TV as it could be. It's very likely that this will remain the case until more voices in the community are added to writers' rooms and are in the room when producers are discussing potential projects. Wentworth Miller calls his diagnosis a gift and being autistic is “central to who he is”, which is a sentiment everyone can surely appreciate.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow has shed a lot of talent over the years, to the point that fans may have become accustomed to the revolving door of characters that come in and out of the series. Once again, fans will have to mourn the loss of another character as it's time for yet another person to move on, but this situation is a bit better than past ones. John Constantine will exit The CW series after Season 6, but Matt Ryan will stick around in an entirely new role in Season 7.

The news was revealed during the panel for Legends of Tomorrow at SDCC@Home, and viewers learned that while John Constantine will leave the Legends behind and go solo once more, Matt Ryan will stay on in Season 7 as Dr. Gwyn Davies. Davies is a scientist from the 20th century that the Legends must rely on, which seems to indicate Ryan will play a central role in the adventure. The actor spoke a bit about leaving the role of Constantine, as well as stepping into the shoes of a new character for Season 7:

The Legends of Tomorrow panel did not specify exactly how John Constantine will exit the series, but one would assume his character will be kept in one piece to potentially re-appear in future adventures in the Arrowverse. This seems especially possible since Matt Ryan is sticking with the show as a new character. So thankfully for us, Constantine isn't technically that far away should the writers want to find a way to bring him back.

One other more minor character update is that Amy Louise Pemberton will join Legends of Tomorrow as a series regular. Fans have heard Pemberton as Gideon for a few seasons and have seen her appear in the flesh a couple of times. Having a live-action Pemberton around on a regular basis in Season 7 should bring more excitement to to the new season, in spite of John Constantine's absence.

Beyond casting changes, Legends of Tomorrow also announced DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: The Mixtape (Songs from the Original Television Soundtrack), which will feature some of the biggest songs of the show. In total, fans can expect 21 tracks that feature classics like "Puppets Of Tomorrow" and "Space Girl." The mixtape is set to drop on all major music locations Friday, August 20th.

Legends of Tomorrow airs on The CW Sundays at 8:00 p.m. ET. It's one of the many great shows airing in the coming months, so be sure to check out what all is on tap with our handy fall premiere guide.

There is no better time for diehard fans of television than the fall. With the return of dozens of the best shows on broadcast, cable, and streaming being joined by television’s newcomers, there’s plenty to get you all excited as we push towards the final months of the year. As the summer TV lineup draws to a close in August, we will say goodbye to old friends like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, who we have turned to week-in and week-out for eight seasons just as we say hello to a slew of new shows in September and beyond, that will surely have a place in our hearts by year’s end.

Over the course of the next few months we will see the premieres of shows like Grey’s Anatomy Season 18, All American Season 4, and Yellowstone Season 4. But while we wait for the schedules from NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC, and many other channels, take a look at everything that has been ironed out already.

Spoilers ahead for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 6, Episode 7 “Back to the Finale: Part II.”

The latest episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow was a long time coming for many fans, especially those who adore “Avalance.” Since the shocking ending of the Season 5 finale, in which Sara (Caity Lotz) was abducted by aliens, the Legends have been trying everything they can to get their fearless leader back. Luckily, the time finally came, and fans couldn’t be happier!

As the Legends tried to retrieve their leader, Ava (Jes Macallen) simply wanted her girlfriend back, especially after learning that Sara was going to propose. In last night’s episode, Mick successfully rescued Sara, with the help of Gary, and the Legends went back to the time that Sara was abducted in the Season 5 finale to prevent her from from being taken in the first place. When the Legends were trying to stay together for moral support, Ava was cooped up in her room, rewatching a video of Sara on loop. it was a heartbreaking moment, as one fan reminded everyone on Twitter:

Following Sara's long-awaited return, the first person she reunited with on the ship was Ava, who at first, didn’t want to turn around for fear that Sara wouldn’t even be there. Sara assures her girlfriend that it’s her and the reunion was a beautiful one that can make any fan cry, like this one Twitter user:

The moment that really made fans melt came towards the end of the episode. After reuniting once again with the rest of the Legends, the team started making their way back to the Waverider. However, Sara stopped Ava and got on one knee, finally proposing. Ava gave her a premature “Yes” and the rest of the Legends turned around to witness the beautiful moment. After officially saying “Yes” and hugging, fireworks went off, thanks to a bomb strapped to a fake Sara. All in all, it was more than anyone ever expected, as one fan pointed out:

Caity Lotz had occasionally teased the highly anticipated reunion, while at the same time not exactly telling fans when it would happen. Knowing that fans were waiting on the Avalance reunion, she said during a recent TVInsider interview that Sara’s reunion with Ava would be worth it, and boy was she right:

While Avalance’s reunion and proposal is one for the books, it’s not hard to still worry that something is coming their way, as barely anyone on Legends of Tomorrow can seem to catch a happy break. In a promo for next week’s episode, Sara is just happy to get back in the saddle and with her new fiancée, but just how long will that happiness last? I’m as much of an Avalance shipper as the next fan, so here’s hoping the danger is out of their way and the Legends get to stick together, at least for now.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airs new episodes on Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.

As a network that has never really been a consistent contender up against the Big Four, The CW’s reputation speaks for itself when it comes to crafting series and franchises that amass dedicated fandoms, from the Arrowverse to the Riverdale-verse to the All American-verse. And while big shows on other networks have taken pretty massive ratings and viewership tumbles with each year that passes, The CW’s shows still tend to hit the same audience benchmarks that they have for years. And it’s been a pretty interesting month for the network, thanks to an assortment of announcements regarding schedule changes, pilot decisions and new projects.

After everything that’s come out so far, I wanted to take a step back and voice a few questions and potential concerns about some of The CW’s biggest headlines of late. And it’s hard to think of a better place to kick things off than with the much-hyped (for better or worse) live-action adaptation of The Powerpuff Girls.

What The Actual Eff Is Happening With The Powerpuff Girls Show?

If The CW’s Powerpuff Girls pilot – glamorously titled Powerpuff – hadn’t landed a killer trio of stars in Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron and Yana Perrault, I might have given up on it long before the network revealed it would be retooling its initial plans, which coincided with a leaked version of the pilot’s script making the internet groan collectively with its masterclass in un-self-aware satire. The show still stands a chance of doing something non-catastrophic if co-writers Diablo Cody and Heather Regnier reveal themselves to be O.G. creator Craig McCracken in disguise, but barring that impossible scenario, fans may want to proceed with much caution.

Will The Flash And Riverdale’s Season-Opening “Events” Be Related?

While it makes thematic sense for “Crisis on Infinite Earths” to have been the last big Arrowverse crossover, knowing that COVID-19 is responsible makes it far less poetic. Thus, it was quite interesting when The CW revealed The Flash would be kicking off Season 8 this fall with a five-episode event, and that certain CW-verse characters would be involved. Is it just timely, then, that Riverdale will kick off Season 6 with its own five-episode event, and that the phrase “CWverse” was used instead of “Arrowverse” when The CW boss Mark Pedowitz talked about it? Dare we hope to see Barry Allen thwarting a disaster at Riverdale High?

Why Is Supergirl’s Midseason Premiere All The Way In August?

While we’re on the subject of Arrowverse shows – it’s a theme – Supergirl won’t return from its final season hiatus until Tuesday, August 24, a full three and a half months after the midseason finale aired. I get that The CW has a lot of licensed content joining its schedule during the 2021 Summer TV season, from Wellington Paranormal to more seasons of Coroner and Dead Pixels, but doesn’t it seem weird/rude to make fans wait patiently for new episodes for that long during the final season? I could maybe understand if Supergirl’s return was being paired with Stargirl's Season 2 premiere, but nope.

Will The All American Franchise Continue To Expand?

All American is the perfect example of the kind of CW series that flies under a lot of people’s radars simply by not having caped crusaders or being a high-profile reboot. And its popularity, grown in part by the drama’s presence on Netflix, was certainly a deciding factor for the network’s execs to give a thumbs up to the spinoff All American: Homecoming. The new show will focus on Geffri Maya’s tennis-loving Simone and the top-notch baseball player Damon, as portrayed by Legacies’ Peyton Alex Smith. The shift in sports is the smart and easy way to bring another chapter of the franchise to life, but considering the overall hook is being immersed in the Black College scene, I wonder if the All American creative team will expand the universe in ways that aren’t so sports-centric but still play into the title.

How Amazing Is Beebo Saves Christmas Going To Be?

I will admit I wasn’t 100% on board with the big blue god Beebo when he first appeared on Legends of Tomorrow, which is idiotic on my part, since giant otherworldly randomness is everything to me. The adoration grew, however, and now I’m all the more eager to experience the upcoming one-hour special Beebo Saves Christmas. It’s unlike anything else that’s come out of the Arrowverse so far, and even though there have been other animated projects such as Constantine and The Ray, I think it’s safe to say a Beebo Christmas special is going to be 100% unique. I cannot wait to see what kinds of excellence comes from it, especially since we already know former Legends of Tomorrow star Victor Garber will be returning to the franchise as the narrator.

Are The Waltons Going To Be All Brooding And Sassy Now?

As weird as it is to think The CW announced a project even more unpredictable than Beebo Saves Christmas, the network caused a lot of double-takes in revealing the upcoming throwback special The Waltons’ Homecoming, which will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Christmas special that kicked off the Waltons’ TV run in the 1970s. Yes, it’s set in the 1930s, so it’s clearly going to be a relatively rare example of The CW taking on historical fiction, but it’s during the Depression, so does that mean we should expect Logan Shroyer’s 17-year-old John Boy to be a moody Riverdale-esque freakshow? I mean, probably not, because The Waltons was the epitome of classic American TV schmaltz, and O.G. John Boy actor Richard Thomas is making a return as the special’s narrator. But it IS The CW, so I’m not saying good night to those expectations just yet.

Will Ava DuVernay’s Naomi Feature Superman And Young Justice?

More great things are no doubt on the way from Selma and When They See Us filmmaker Ava DuVernay, who teamed with Arrow writer Jill Blankenship to develop a TV adaptation for Naomi, the still relatively new DC superhero that is set to be played by up-and-coming actress Kaci Walfall. At this point, the comic character Naomi has been the center of a six-issue standalone series, and followed that up with a handful of appearances in Action Comics and Young Justice, which leads me to wonder just how many other DC heroes will be utilized within the new project that The CW only recently granted with a series order. Of course, there are probably already tons of creative changes that will stretch her origin story out across a whole TV season, but maybe that just means we’ll see more characters that the Arrowverse hasn’t touched yet. (Dare we hope for The Flash’s Bart “Impulse” Allen to star in Naomi after being introduced?)

How Does One Make Legends Of The Hidden Temple More Suitable For Grown-Ups?

While I can’t totally knock the idea that playing into TV viewers’ nostalgia zones is a smart way to develop reboots, I’m a little confused by The CW going all-in on a reimagined “adult” version of Nickelodeon’s Legends of the Hidden Temple. I get that it means the challenges will be bigger and harder and probably on the scale of something like Netflix’s Floor Is Lava, but the kid-friendly nature of the original is what made this quasi-Indiana Jones vibe work. Will it not defeat some sort of purpose by having grown-ass people listening to Olmec and cheering on “Green Monkeys” and “Purple Parrots?” If anything, I hope the aged-up nature of Legends of the Hidden Temple’s reboot means the adult contestants can physically maim those dreaded Temple Guards when they show up.

Will Black Lightning’s Painkiller Spinoff Find A New Home At HBO Max?

I suppose this isn’t necessarily a question meant directly for CW execs, but I do wonder if part of the motivation for passing on the Painkiller pilot was because WB and DC execs felt it might work better on the superhero-friendly streaming platform HBO Max instead of on linear TV. It’s not even confirmed at this point that the offshoot is even in the running to be shopped around, but a lot of fans out there would love to see the Black Lightning character get a second shot on the small screen. And if it happened to be at a place that allowed for bigger budgets and even better looking special effects, so be it.

Can Someone Make Sure The Scooby-Doo Reunion Special Is Legitimately Great?

I’ll cop to being a pretty big fan of Scooby-Doo in many of the brand’s various incarnations across all media – Team Scooby Doobies in Laff-A-Lympics all day – so I was instantly interested as soon as The CW announced its cheeky-sounding The Scooby-Doo Reunion Special, which will feature Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and the titular Great Dane talking about their most memorable mysteries from the last 52 years. At least that’s how it starts, because of course the Warner Bros. studio lot they’re visiting has a monsteriffic mystery of its own to deal with. Interestingly, The CW’s announcement didn’t reveal who will be writing the new special, so my biggest question here is: can they find a writer on the meticulously meta level of Community and Rick and Morty’s Dan Harmon to continue Scooby-Doo’s long history of self-aware horror comedy?

I guess I could technically come up with a bunch of other questions for The CW about Stargirl, Kung Fu, Walker and why the network is attempting to make Saturday night primetime a thing, but there’s only so much time in a day whenever you don’t have super-speed, or a ship that travels through time, etc. So now I’ll just try and form my own super-patience while waiting for all of the above to be answered in some shape or form.

Just when you think DC’s Legends of Tomorrow couldn’t get any crazier, the show kicks it up a notch. Between giant Beebo’s to unicorns, aliens and more, the underdog Arrowverse show often takes things to the next level. Season 6 is no different, and the Legends are going to go someplace they never have before, where things are a bit different than our reality, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has apparently gone through with an idea he's toyed with before.

Executive producer, Keto Shimizu, previews an insane season ahead for The CW, and aliens are not the only things that will be surprising the misfit band of superheroes. In an upcoming episode, the Waverider will be taking the team to 2045 Hollywood, where Nate is surprised to learn that an actor and former wrestler is running the country, hoping that someone else with a similar career is by his side:

Being in a future where Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is President of the United States is maybe not so far-fetched as one might think. Johnson’s newest NBC sitcom, Young Rock, has him running as a candidate in the 2032 US presidential election. (In each episode, he’s participating in an interview or other conversation that leads him to flashback to a story from one of three periods in Johnson’s life). Earlier this year, the Jumanji actor also admitted he would consider a presidential run in the future “if that’s what the people wanted.”

Recently, a poll suggested that half of the American people wanted Dwayne Johnson to run for president. And even though our Founding Fathers never envisioned it, he said it’d be his honor to serve the people. Johnson is definitely not the first celebrity to take an interest in running or run for politics, and he most likely won’t be the last.

Meanwhile, getting back to The CW, Keto Shimizu previews that this season of Legends of Tomorrow is “so much fun” as aliens are wreaking havoc throughout time, the newest Legend is introduced and it is a “ride from start to finish” for this wild group of misfits. And it’s shown in next week’s episode, when the Legends are going to be on a Masked Singer-esque singing competition to try to take down what looked to be a robot. You can check out everything that's coming below.

Although we might not get President Rock in our future, at least we’ll be able to see how that might pan out in a future episode of Legends of Tomorrow! But it makes you wonder just what else there is in 2045 Hollywood, am I right? DC’s Legends of Tomorrow airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 has finally arrived, and Arrow-Verse fans are likely happy to have the eclectic group of superheroes back on their screens after such a lengthy hiatus. However, the new season is somewhat bittersweet, as it will mark Dominic Purcell’s last season as a regular cast member. While Purcell has confirmed that he will return to the show in a recurring capacity in Season 7, many fans were likely surprised when he confirmed he would no longer be a regular. Now, a producer has further clarified the reason for the actor breaking from the franchise.

Dominic Purcell originally announced his departure with a relatively humble message but later shared some pretty blunt thoughts that seemed to indicate he was having issues with Warner Bros. Television. But in his subsequent social media posts, he shut down that notion and indicated that he just needed to take a step back from Legends of Tomorrow. Co-showrunner Phil Klemmer shared thoughts Purcell’s on sentiments while speaking with TVLine:

While Phil Klemmer seemingly acknowledges that Dominic Purcell wasn’t totally smooth when it came to announcing his departure, he mostly agrees with the actor’s thoughts. Klemmer’s comments also seem to indicate that the door is indeed still open for Purcell to return to the show as a regular in the future.

Of all the Arrow-Verse shows, Legends of Tomorrow has had the most fluid cast. The show has seen massive character changes since it premiered in 2016, with Rip Hunter, Captain Cold and Kid Flash being only a few of the major players who have boarded and departed the Waverider over the years. These switch-ups have been met with varying reactions from viewers. For instance, some fans are likely still mourning the abrupt departures of Brandon Routh’s Ray Palmer and Courtney Ford’s Nora Darhk during Season 5.

Like Brandon Routh, Dominic Purcell is one of Legends of Tomorrow’s original stars, having been with the show since its debut. His Mick Rory -- a.k.a. Heat Wave -- has become one of the series’ most beloved characters, as he provides plenty of action and humor. It’s too early in the season to tell what takes Mick away from the Waverider, but it doesn't look like the producers are planning to kill him off by season’s end.

Dominic Purcell’s departure from Legends of Tomorrow is admittedly disappointing, and Heat Wave’s presence will certainly be missed. But on the bright side, fans can still look forward to one more madcap season with him as a regular cast member.

Spoilers ahead for the first two episodes of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 6, ”Ground Control to Sara Lance” and “Meat: The Legends."

Season 6 of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has been off to a crazy start already (obviously), and with this being Legends, literally anything can happen at any point, to anyone. In the season premiere, a major twist occurred when the beloved character Gary Green, previously thought to be human, was revealed to be keeping the secret that he's actually an alien! Adam Tsekhman, who portrays the adorkable Legend and Ava’s right-hand man, had to come to his own sense of justification for Gary’s wild twist.

Caity Lotz's Sara, onboard the alien spaceship after getting abducted, found out that the alien responsible for capturing her was actually Gary. Meanwhile, on the ground, the Legends found a pair of Gary’s glasses that he uses to turn into his Earthly form. Adam Tsekhman told Collider his thoughts about the big twist, and why some of the more oddball things that Gary has done and said in previous seasons now make a little more sense. In his words:

As an example Adam Tsekhman brought up the hard-to-forget Season 4 premiere, “The Virgin Gary,” which is a Legends of Tomorrow episode true to its bonkers nature. Not only did it feature Gary serving as unicorn bait, which also makes for some very memorable moments, but it also showed Gary questioning the status of his virginity, which is something that most human beings are well aware of. And that instance for his character reminded Tsekhman that although moments like that are subtle, Gary's alien nature makes one want to go back and see if there were any other clues that could have pointed at Gary’s humanity being not so humane. Here's how the actor put it:

In Episode 602, Sara and Gary teamed up after being stranded on a distant planet when their ship crashed, and they ran into the world-renowned, and notoriously missing, pilot Amelia Earhart, who turned out to also be an alien. While there’s no telling how long Sara and Gary will be on their own, especially now that they’re trying to escape from Gary’s ex-fiancée, it will be interesting to see how he will work with Sara and the Legends once they all reunite, now that they know about his intergalactic secret. But just whose side is he on?

New episodes of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow air Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.

The summer months used to be one of the slowest periods of time in the world of TV, but with a myriad of streaming services abandoning the traditional model of premiering their shows exclusively in the fall and spring months, the Summer 2021 TV schedule is absolutely stacked. Over the the course of the next three months (May, June, July), subscribers to services like Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, and multiple others will see countless shows (both new and returning) land on their streamer of choice with the likes of Loki, Selena: The Series Season 2, and Stephen King’s Lisey’s Story all landing throughout the season.

But this doesn’t mean it is all quiet on the traditional TV front as The CW will see the long-awaited return of D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow, the summer premiere of Riverdale, and more throughout the summer. And then you have all of the exciting competition shows, docuseries, and specials that populate the TV listings at the year’s midpoint. Below is a breakdown of all the shows coming to your TV and streaming devices this year.

Please note, this schedule can and will change over the course of the following months, so make sure to bookmark and check back for the most up-to-date information. (The times below are all Eastern Standard Time, and brand new programs are noted in all caps.)

May 2021

The Summer 2021 TV schedule kicks off is spectacular with an absolutely stacked month of May. With DC's Legends of Tomorrow returning for its sixth season onThe CW, the long-awaited Star Wars: The Bad Batch taking Disney+ subscribers back to the galaxy far, far away, and Netflix bringing back multiple fan-favorite shows like Selena: The Series and Who Killed Sara?, it's going to be a busy month.

Superheroes can sometimes feel like they're absolutely everywhere thanks to a variety of TV shows and films, and the result can be legions of happy fans ready to go along for the ride. At the same time, superheroes across the large and small screens can also be somewhat exhausting, even for superhero fans in general, and especially if you're plugged into pop culture. The good news? The CW has a show that showcases some fantastic heroes while also serving as an ideal cure for superhero fatigue: the time-traveling Legends of Tomorrow.

Now, I know that the very concept of "superhero fatigue" can be divisive, with some people not believing that it's real at all, some not only believing it but feeling it sometimes, and some just wondering why anybody exhausted by superheroes doesn't just stop paying any attention to superhero movies and TV shows. Which: valid point. But as a completist who happened to start in some current superhero universes pretty early on, it's hard for me to just unplug, and I know I'm not alone.

For me, Legends of Tomorrow is the exception among superhero stories that can get too heavy under the weight of their own mythology and elaborate connections, and the show really helps me get psyched back up for superhero action. And sure, the Arrowverse pales so much in comparison to the grand scale, budget, and storytelling of the MCU that it's practically invisible, but Legends of Tomorrow should not be overlooked.

Read on for some reasons why it's my preferred way to get excited about the genre again, and could work for you if you're also somebody who loves superheroes but still come down with a case of superhero fatigue from time to time.

Legends Of Tomorrow Is Constantly Evolving

If you look at Legends of Tomorrow as of how it wrapped with the Season 5 finale and compare it to the first season back in 2016, you might think that the current Legends is a spinoff of the much gloomier show that had an almost entirely different cast in the beginning. And I'm confident that the consensus among viewers is that the more that Legends of Tomorrow has evolved and pushed the boundaries of Arrowverse expectations, the better it has gotten. If something doesn't work on Legends, the odds are that it's not going to last.

The show also tends to tell reasonably self-contained stories within the mythology. Viewers can enjoy bonkers and somewhat standalone episodes for as long as they can suspend their disbelief about these heroes trying to repair history (which is often broken because they broke it) while also following along with a larger arc. You could have enjoyed Season 5 without sticking it out through the rough first couple of seasons, and that's a credit to everybody who allowed the show to develop and become something fantastic over the years.

A Motley Crew Of Superheroes

Unlike Arrow that founded the Arrowverse and The Flash and Supergirl that followed, Legends of Tomorrow isn't centered on and therefore reliant on just one superhero with one skillset and one set of relationships that have to remain compelling year in and year out. Sure, Sara Lance is clearly the lead of the show, and she along with Mick Rory (for now) have seniority among the Legends, but this is an ensemble of heroes, plucked out of their previous lives to travel through time and fight bad guys.

Some characters are original to Legends of Tomorrow, while others have migrated over from other Arrowverse shows, and I honestly found that Legends turned characters like Ray Palmer, Mick Rory, Leonard Snart, and yes, even Sara Lance into far more dynamic characters than they ever were on Arrow and Flash. And best of all, in my mind, is that these are all very different superheroes with different strengths.

Are your favorite heroes the ones who rely on their own skills rather than superpowers? Say hello to Sara Lance. In the market for more superpowered heroes? Meet Nate Heywood, not to mention Zari and Behrad with their unique abilities. Magic? John Constantine debuted in the Arrowverse for just that purpose. Normal human with technology? Mick Rory at your fiery service. And that's to name just some of the characters with a variety of powers. Sure, the special effects look like... well, look like you'd expect of a CW show, but if you suspend your disbelief for the superhero genre in general, then it's worth giving Legends of Tomorrow with its motley crew of heroes a shot.

It Tackles Multiple Genres

Legends of Tomorrow is of course a superhero TV show, and the very premise is based on time travel. That said, the Legends haven't been tackling challenges in the same genre over and over again as the seasons passed and new threats arose. Back in the early days, the mythology was very... well, mythological with Vandal Savage and the Hawks. The Time Masters were a threat looming overhead early on as well, but then Rip Hunter was out and newcomers like Nate and Amaya and Zari were in, with supervillains Malcolm Merlyn, Eobard Thawne, and Damien Darhk imported from Arrow and The Flash to become Legends big bads for a season. A lot has happened.

And now Season 6 is going to involve aliens, but in a far more Legends of Tomorrow way than when The Dominators debuted as the villains for the Arrowverse's first four-part crossover in 2016 involving Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, and Legends. Sara was abducted by aliens in the Season 5 finale, so Season 6 will see the Legends trying to get their captain (and soon-to-be only remaining original Legend) back while Sara fights her own battle. As the trailer proves, Legends is going full sci-fi beyond the normal time and space travel, and that's not something that would have even been conceivable in earlier seasons.

It Doesn't Take Itself (Or Superheroes) Too Seriously

If everything I've said here paints a picture of an absolutely bonkers show, that's because it 100% is. Legends of Tomorrow has included everything from cowboys to historical figures to aliens to two versions of Zari in one season. The Legends used a giant Beebo to destroy a powerful demon by the name of Mallus. The show's young Barack Obama had a close call with The Flash's Gorilla Grodd. And the show not only acknowledges how bonkers it can get, but embraces it and pokes fun at it. Gotta love some self-awareness on the small screen, right?

The rules of time travel are hard to even keep track of nowadays, and some of the character journeys took such wild turns that I've kind of just rolled with them at points, but it's such a fun ride that it's not a bother in the least. Besides, don't all superhero projects stop making sense once you look closely at them? And none of this is to say that Legends of Tomorrow is slapstick – it's funny and fun, but there's a lot of heart and it's hard not to care about the relationships. And if the ride involves a wax version of Sisqo singing "Thong Song," then so be it!

It's Loosely Connected To The Rest Of The Arrowverse

Legends of Tomorrow is of course part of the larger Arrowverse, which has also included Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman, Superman & Lois, and – thanks to the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover – Black Lightning. Arrow has come to an end, and both Supergirl and Black Lightning are on their way out, but it's an expansive superhero universe that may continue growing. This has resulted in some epic crossovers with close ties between some of the series, particularly Arrow and Flash back in the day.

But it also led to the pesky need to keep up with all the Arrowverse shows for it to make sense when they crossed over, or when the events of one affected another. Even as somebody who was watching all the Arrowverse series at that point, I was annoyed when Barry messing with time on The Flash caused a big change for a key character on Arrow, and the existence of metahumans with the debut of The Flash changed the landscape of Arrow with the non-superpowered Oliver Queen. Now there are always the questions about why the various superheroes don't lend helping hands on the regular, and it can be distracting.

Enter Legends of Tomorrow. Sure, Legends is part of the Arrowverse, and Sara was actually a huge part of the "Crisis" crossover and early Arrow. And a number of other Arrowverse characters have at least temporarily mirgrated over to Legends from their original shows, even if they don't necessarily stick around. But Legends stands mostly alone a lot of the time, and is only affected by the others when crossovers are in play or somebody big is killed off. No need to be fatigued by all the superheroes of the Arrowverse just to watch Legends!

Plus, the other Arrowverse shows aren't turned inside out every time the Legends mess with time, so the ties seem tangential at best whenever crossovers aren't in play. Legends of Tomorrow is basically to the Arrowverse what Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was to the MCU by its end – the connections were of course there, but rarely relevant. And both shows got a lot better once they started to stray from the larger universes. You can enjoy Legends of Tomorrow as part of a large superhero universe without having to deal with a lot of strings attached, and that can be great for a recovery from superhero fatigue.

The whole Arrowverse is an impressive feat on the small screen, so none of this is to say that Legends of Tomorrow is the only show worth watching and Flash, Supergirl, and the rest should be discarded. In fact, I think Superman & Lois proves that the Arrowverse can still launch a strong spinoff, even now that it is almost ten years old. Legends is just my go-to whenever I want a break from bigger and more connected superhero universes but still enjoy a good old-fashioned superhero fix.

Legends of Tomorrow returns for Season 6 with a Chicago P.D. veteran on board on Sunday, May 2 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW, ahead of a new episode of Batwoman. Legends, along with fellow Arrowverse series The Flash and Batwoman, already scored a renewal for the 2021-2022 TV season, so there's no need to worry that the Legends' adventures through history will come to an end any time soon. This is The CW, so its irreverence isn't on par with The Boys or Doom Patrol, but it's worth the watch.
