Legends of tomorrow cancelled
Legends of tomorrow cancelled
Well, that's a lot more frustrating than the Batwoman cancellation. Unlike BW, Legends had a pretty big cliffhanger with a lot of dangling threads -- Sara's pregnancy, the team's arrest, the debut of Booster Gold, etc.
At this rate, next year's big crossover event is going to have to be about tying off the cancelled shows' loose ends. Like, the Flash and Superman help Batwoman deal with Dr. Phosphorus (or whatever that was), get her help to free the Legends, and then they and Booster go to Mia Queen's time and help her save William.

Flash would be a good place to "end" it all.
What’s next? An announcement that the next season of The Flash is the final season?
Also I wish they hadn’t ended on a cliffhanger.
And my frustration continues (as I said in the Batwoman thread, I'm tired of TV series not getting to have a proper resolution).
I thought that was already confirmed.
Maybe it was speculation because Grant wanted to step down after next season.
Assumption based on the rumor that season 9 will have a shorter season. When it was reported Grant was negotiating for 15 episodes. But the other rumor was the network wanted a longer season. Most likely next will be the last. Nothing announced.
They really should bring Booster Gold over to the Flash.
I feel bad for those who continued to watch Legends and Batwoman. But both lost me the last couple seasons.
Makes me wonder if that John Diggle series is still happening? Some of these characters could be absorbed to be fellow mentors.
Got to add all fans who claim to have insight into what the sale of the CW means for the future of any of their shows - They are just inventing information. No one really knows.
If Justice U. happens, it and future Arrowverse shows just need to go to HBO Max with The CW's future looking so unstable.
All the current season hasn't aired here yet, but if there are as many loose ends as people mentioned, that's sad to hear
Saw someone on Twitter make a great point -
In recent years tv writers ( perhaps younger fans too) have gotten complacent in assuming all shows will get a final season to wrap things up. Shows getting no resolution after sudden cancellations used to be the norm for decades. Most of my favorite shows ended on cliffhangers.
The writers of Legends took a huge gamble and lost. They had to know this was a strong possibility. As was reported that last produced episode ended with crediting comic book creators for every character that had appeared over the last 7 years. They should have written a season finale that could work as series finale too.
The producer of The Flash was very upfront in an interview before its renewal, that they hedged their bets with the end of season 8. So if necessary it would have worked as final episode.

Sometimes the gamble is the point. The producers of a show on the bubble of cancellation will often do a cliffhanger on purpose, in the hopes that it will keep audiences around to see how it turns out and thus keep the probable ratings high enough to convince the network to renew it. A finale that wraps everything up neatly is too easy a jumping-off point for audiences and networks alike. If you're fighting against cancellation, you want it to come at a cost, so it isn't an easy decision for the network. Which means, of course, that if they cancel it anyway, the cost has to be paid.
(Similarly, I've noticed a weird trend in some '80s and '90s shows I've rewatched in recent years, like Beauty and the Beast's final season, Starman, and Heath Ledger's Roar. They all do their big finale-worthy episodes wrapping up their season arcs before the finale, then do one more episode -- or a 2-parter in B&tB's case -- that feels more like a premiere for the next season, setting up the new status quo. I figure the idea must've been like a pilot, to show the network what a typical episode of the following season -- or the back nine of the current season -- would look like if they chose to renew/extend it. So I figure it's the same idea, to avoid giving the network an easy cutoff point and give them an incentive for renewal. Although it didn't work in any of those three cases.)
It would have been nice if the network gave them some advance notice, so they COULD wrap it up in some way.
The Discovery takeover , with the new bosses making "sudden" decisions doesn't help.
And unfortunately, they aren't getting the buzz that Manifest did on Netflix, allowing them to go further.
Legends, in particular, is REALLY a niche show.... someone who has to not only like minor DC characters, but ALSO appreciate goofiness (so, kinda the opposite of Trek_God_1 ).
When it first appeared, i was hoping for a rotating cast, or even become more of an anthology, so we had a mix.
Getting stuck on time travel was kinda lame for me, though i stuck with it.
The goofiness.... well, i guess now that they have Peacemaker, DC has reached their live action limit!

Manifest cheated.
I thought it was about time travel.
It's a Jesus show.
Do you know how many idjits are hanging out for a interesting Jesus show, because their moral repugnance won't let them watch all the good programming available?
Netflix measures it rating in minutes.
Probably because people watch incomplete episodes.
Stop and start,m forget where they are up to... Even with the help from the software.
Netflix claims that by September 2021, 1.39 billion minutes of Manifest had been watched.
Shiiiiit.
