Sarah Goodwill just wrapped on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which is going to be DC Comics’ most ambitious (and some would say, risky) superhero spinoff series for The CW, following in the footsteps of hit series Arrow and The Flash. The new show acts as a miniseries spinoff of The Flash‘s time-bending mythology, in which a so-called time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) must assemble a group of both heroes and villains who we’ve met in both Arrow and The Flash, to confront an unstoppable threat to the planet… and to time itself.
Though the team starts out as a combination of disparate personalities – Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), Firestorm (Victor Garber), White Canary (Caity Lotz), Hawkman (Falk Hentschel), Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) and villains Heatwave (Dominic Purcell) and Cold (Wentworth Miller) – are told that they are destined to become… (you guessed it) legendary heroes of the future.
?The? upcoming American television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim, who also executive produce with showrunner Phil Klemmer, and Sarah Schechter is scheduled to air on The CW, debuting in 2016 during the 2015–16 season.
