Premise
Rip Hunter, a member of the Time Masters, an organization tasked with protecting the timeline, goes rogue after Vandal Savage murders his family. Intending to stop him, Hunter recruits a team of "Legends" consisting of Ray Palmer / Atom, Sara Lance / White Canary, Martin Stein and Jefferson "Jax" Jackson / Firestorm, Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl, Carter Hall / Hawkman, Leonard Snart / Captain Cold, and Mick Rory / Heat Wave. Season one sees the team confronting Savage as well as the Time Masters. The team destroys the organization, though they lose Snart in the process while Kendra and Carter leave the team.
In season two, with the Time Masters defeated, the team guard the timeline themselves, all while coping with Rip's disappearance. However, they learn that another time-travelling team called the Legion of Doom, consisting of Eobard Thawne / Reverse Flash, Damien Darhk, Malcolm Merlyn, and a past version of Snart, are after the Biblical Spear of Destiny so they can alter their fates. Along the way, the Legends are joined by Justice Society of America member Amaya Jiwe / Vixen and modern-day historian Nate Heywood / Steel, who later acquires the power to become solid metal. After defeating the Legion of Doom, Rip leaves the team and Sara becomes the captain of the Legends.
In season three, the team discovers that they created anachronisms throughout time after beating the Legion, though Rip has formed the Time Bureau to help fix them. He also informs them that Nora Darhk has resurrected her father, Damien, as well as recruited Amaya's villainous granddaughter, Kuasa, and enemy of the Flash, Gorilla Grodd, so that they can release the demon Mallus. Though the team loses Firestorm, they are joined by Zari Tomaz, a hacktivist from 2042 who wields an air-controlling amulet, and Wally West / Kid Flash, a speedster who trained under the Flash. Time Bureau agent and later director Ava Sharpe also starts working closely with the team, entering a relationship with Sara. Upon defeating Mallus, Amaya returns home to Zambesi while Wally departs to find his own way.
In season four, occult detective John Constantine joins the team to help them hunt down magical fugitives that have been scattered throughout the timeline following the team's battle with Mallus. In the process, they eventually discover that events surrounding the creatures have been orchestrated by the demon Neron, who Constantine has faced before. The Legends are joined by the shapeshifter Charlie, who becomes stuck in Amaya's physical form after losing her powers, Mona Wu, who has the ability to turn into a Kaupe, and a reformed Nora, who becomes a fairy godmother.
In season five, Astra Logue resurrects several evil historical figures called Encores to get revenge on Constantine for sending her to Hell. Amidst the Legends' efforts to stop her, Charlie is revealed to be Clotho of the Fates, and her sisters, Atropos and Lachesis, seek revenge on her for destroying the Loom of Fate. Due to time distortions from their final battle with Neron, Zari was replaced by her brother, Behrad Tarazi, before he and Nate helped her rejoin them. While Mona, Ray, Nora and Charlie leave the Legends to live out their lives, Ava and former Time Bureau agent Gary Green join the team after the Bureau gets shut down.

Production
Development
In January 2015, co-creator Greg Berlanti stated that there were "very early" preliminary talks for an additional spin-off series centered on Ray Palmer / Atom (Brandon Routh), from Arrow and The Flash.[51] In February 2015, it was reported that a spin-off series, described as a superhero team-up show, was in discussion by The CW for a possible 2015–16 midseason release. Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, Marc Guggenheim, and Sarah Schechter would serve as executive producers. The potential series would be headlined by several recurring characters from both Arrow and The Flash, including Palmer, Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller), and Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber). Caity Lotz was also mentioned to be among the main cast. There would be potential for other Arrow/Flash characters to cross over to the new series, and the series would be casting "three major DC Comics characters who have never appeared in a TV series".[9]
In March 2015, Stephen Amell, who portrays Oliver Queen / Green Arrow on Arrow, confirmed the series would air in the 2015–16 midseason. Additionally, Kreisberg stated more would be revealed about the nature of the series by the end of Arrow's third season, specifically why Lotz is slated to appear, given her previous character, Sara, was killed at the start of Arrow season three.[52] Berlanti also stated there was a particular reason for the other half of Firestorm—Ronnie Raymond (Robbie Amell), as seen on The Flash—not being mentioned in the initial cast announcement.[53] On the purpose of the series, Berlanti said it was designed to be "most similar to our crossover episodes, where you feel that 'event-iness', but all the time. For us, first and foremost, with all of [our shows], it's about 'how is it its own thing?' Because we don't just want to do it to do it." He also revealed the producers were focusing on "making sure that the villain that we have on [the] show is distinct too... another big character who hasn't been used yet."[54] Also in March, Dominic Purcell was revealed to be reprising his role as Heat Wave in the series,[30] and Blake Neely, composer of Arrow and The Flash, would serve as composer.[55] At the end of the month, Arthur Darvill was cast as Rip Hunter, one of the "new to TV" DC characters,[12] while Ciara Renée was cast as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl.[19] In April 2015, in a Variety article on the recent MipTV event, it noted the title for the series would be Legends of Tomorrow, despite it still being unconfirmed by those involved with the series.[56] Also in the month, Franz Drameh was cast as Jax Jackson.[16]
In May 2015, actor Victor Garber said that The CW was impressed with what was shown to them, giving the project a straight-to-series order.[57] The network officially confirmed the order for the series on May 7, 2015, as well as the official title, DC's Legends of Tomorrow.[8] Later in the month, it was confirmed that Lotz would reprise her role as Sara Lance, who would be taking the name White Canary,[14] as well as revealing the antagonist as Vandal Savage.[58] In June 2015, it was announced that Phil Klemmer had been made the series showrunner as well as executive producer;[59] Chris Fedak serves as executive producer and co-showrunner with Klemmer.[60] At the end of the month, Grant Gustin stated he would appear in the series as Barry Allen / Flash,[61] though he ultimately did not appear in the first season. In August 2015, Casper Crump was cast as Vandal Savage.[62]
On March 11, 2016, the series was renewed for a second season,[63] which debuted in October 2016.[64] The producers have considered adjusting the Legends team for additional seasons, with Joseph David-Jones' Connor Hawke and Megalyn Echikunwoke's Vixen potential additions.[65][66] For the second season, Klemmer revealed that Arrow writer Keto Shimizu and The Flash writer Grainne Godfree would be working on Legends in order to "make our stories work in concert" with Arrow and The Flash. Klemmer also noted the challenges of creating more crossover elements, since Amell and Gustin work full days for their respective shows. In terms of working within the Arrowverse, Klemmer said that the death of Laurel Lance on Arrow would "resonate into Season 2... [since] something that happens on Arrow can create ripples that appear on our show in a huge way. It fundamentally alters the DNA of our series."[67] The second season initially consisted of 13 episodes,[68] with four more ordered in November 2016 to bring the season total to 17.[69]
Teasing the premise of season two in April 2016, Klemmer stated, "We're coming at it from a completely different angle. We're determined to make every part of season two feel like its own show. [The first episode of season two] will very much be a new pilot with new good guys, new bad guys, new stakes, new dynamics, new goals. The team will basically have to find a new purpose. Once you save the world, what do you do then?... The fact that the world was in peril sort of forced our team to fall into its own dysfunctional version of lockstep. Season two, they're no longer going to be hunted by Time Masters. They're no longer going to be burdened with having to save the world. It's no longer going to be about saving Miranda and Jonas. The interesting thing about season two is I think it's going to have a much, much different tone because our Legends are going to have a totally different purpose. They're actually going to have a totally different constitution. There will be new faces and new everything."[67] The season also introduced members of the Justice Society of America.[70] The Society consisted of Hourman, Vixen, Commander Steel, Obsidian, Stargirl and Dr. Mid-Nite.[71] The season also featured a version of the Legion of Doom, composed of the Reverse-Flash, Malcolm Merlyn, Damien Darhk and Leonard Snart.[32]
Legends of Tomorrow was renewed for a fourth season which premiered on October 22, 2018.[72][73] On January 31, 2019, The CW renewed the series for a fifth season.[74] The fifth season debuted following the midseason break in January 2020.[75][76] On January 7, 2020, the series was renewed for a sixth season, which is set to premiere in midseason 2021.[77][78]
Filming
In May 2015, Garber revealed filming would begin in August 2015, for a January 2016 premiere.[57] The series shot a presentation for the network's upfront showcase, which was filmed over the course of one night, and directed by Arrow and The Flash veteran Dermott Downs.[10] Filming of the series began on September 9, 2015, in Vancouver, British Columbia.[79][80][81] Director/producer Glen Winter discussed in a January 2016 interview with Comic Book Resources the process of filming key elements of the series' pilot,
The new facet for Legends was that there's no #1 [actor] on the call sheet. There are seven or eight leads. For me, that was the intimidating part. I wasn't as worried about the action and tone as I was with wrangling all these personalities and finding out how they all work together. Or, how to shoot a scene with eight people in the Waverider, day after day.[82]
He stated of the series style of shooting on location as opposed to predominantly shooting on a soundstage,
As is typical with any pilot, most of the time you are going to shoot more on location. Because you don't necessarily know if you are going to have a show that's been picked up, they don't want to invest a lot of money in the infrastructure, so you end up shooting more on location. The only set that was built was the Waverider. That being said, because we knew there was a pickup for the show, it wasn't a conventional pilot. All the resources of construction went into the Waverider. That's continuing into the series. I don't think they tend to build much. I think they tend to adapt locations because there's so much time travel and so many eras to create.[82]
Broadcast
Legends of Tomorrow premiered in the United States on January 21, 2016,[83] and the first season consisted of sixteen episodes.[84] The series premiere in Australia was originally announced as January 20, 2016,[85][86] however it was pushed back until January 22.[87] It started airing in the United Kingdom on March 3, 2016.[88]

The pilot was well reviewed for its potential. Russ Burlingame from ComicBook.com praised it saying, "The series delivers a sharp, enjoyable pilot that's arguably the most attention-grabbing and entertaining from any of the current crop of superhero shows."[95] Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave the first part of the pilot episode a 7.7/10, praising the show's "epic scope", "fun character dynamics", and Arthur Darvill's performance;[96] and gave the second part of the pilot an 8.4/10, saying it "improved in its sophomore episode thanks to great character dynamics and superhero action".[97]
However, review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gave the complete first season only a 65% approval rating, with an average rating of 6.42/10 based on 36 reviews. The website's consensus reads: "Fancy effects, comic-book nostalgia, and an alluring cast help keep it afloat, but DC's Legends of Tomorrow suffers from an overloaded cast of characters that contribute to a distractingly crowded canvas."[98] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 58 out of 100 based on reviews from 22 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[99]
Rotten Tomatoes gave the second season a 88% approval rating, with an average rating of 6.97/10 based on 10 reviews. The website's consensus reads: "Though the narrative remains too ambitious, DC's Legends of Tomorrow enjoys a freer creative arc with the removal of problem characters."[100]
The third season holds an approval rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 7.95/10 based on 8 reviews. The Website's consensus reads: "DC's Legends of Tomorrow lightens up the tone in its third season while spotlighting adventurous plots and a distinct sense of humor."[101] while IGN gave the season an approval rating of 8.1/10, stating: "When Legends of Tomorrow works, it's easily among the best superhero shows on television (if not shows in general). Unfortunately, while Season 3 reached some impressive highs, it also gave us some of the weakest installments of the series. Season 3 ultimately suffered from its inability to create a conflict worthy of this cast of misfit heroes, and that casts a shadow that will linger when the series returns for Season 4."[102]
