Production

In January 2015, Greg Berlanti stated that there were "very early" preliminary talks for an additional spin-off series centered on Ray Palmer / Atom (Brandon Routh).[37] 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 Ray 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".[4]

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, Canary, was killed at the start of Arrow season three.[38] 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.[39] 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."[40] Also in March, Dominic Purcell was revealed to be reprising his role as Heat Wave in the series,[8] and Blake Neely, composer of Arrow and The Flash, would serve as composer.[41] At the end of the month, Arthur Darvill was cast as Rip Hunter, one of the "new to TV" DC characters,[7] while Ciara Renée was cast as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl.[9] 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.[42] Also in the month, Franz Drameh was cast as Jax Jackson.[14]

In May 2015, Garber revealed filming would begin in August 2015, for a January 2016 premiere. Additionally, he said that The CW was impressed with what was shown to them, giving the project a straight-to-series order.[43] The network officially confirmed the order for the series on May 7, 2015, as well as the official title, DC's Legends of Tomorrow.[2] Later in the month, it was confirmed that Lotz would reprise her role as Sara Lance, who would be taking the name White Canary,[6] as well as revealing the antagonist as Vandal Savage.[3] The series shot a presentation for the networks upfront showcase, which was filmed over the course of one night, and directed by Dermott Downs.[5] In June 2015, it was announced that Phil Klemmer had been made the series showrunner as well as executive producer.[44] At the end of the month, Grant Gustin stated he would appear in the series as Barry Allen / Flash.[21] In August 2015, Casper Crump was cast as Vandal Savage.[17] Filming of the series began on September 9, 2015.[27][45]

Broadcast

Legends of Tomorrow will premiere in the United States on January 21, 2016,[28] and the first season is expected to consist of sixteen episodes.[46] The series premiere will be broadcast earlier in Australia on January 20, 2016.[47][48] It will air in the United Kingdom in 2016 on Sky 1.[49]

Arrowverse

In May 2015, Renée made a cameo in the final episode of The Flash's first season, "Fast Enough", and later made appearances in the show's second season in November 2015.[50][51][52] In July 2015, Guggenheim revealed that the resurrection of Sara Lance would be launched in the first few episodes of Arrow's fourth season, with the events of the eighth episodes of Arrow and The Flash—which were a crossover event—being used to set up the other characters of Legends of Tomorrow.[53] Franz Drameh was introduced as the new other half of Firestorm in the fourth episode of the second season of The Flash. Crump, Hentschel and James debut in the crossover episodes for the second season of The Flash and the fourth season of Arrow.[12][17][22]
