DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Keto Shimizu Confirms Cancellation
More sad news to report today as the other shoe dropped in a big way on the Arrowverse. DC's Legends of Tomorrow co-showrunner & EP Keto Shimizu took to Twitter to confirm that the long-running series will not be picked up for an eighth season. The news comes as the cast, crew, writers & fans engaged in a massive Twitter campaign to #RenewLegendsOfTomorrow. The news comes not long after the news broke that the Javicia Leslie-starring Batwoman had also been canceled, in this case after three seasons.
Here's a look at Shimizu's tweet confirming the news from earlier this evening:
Well, folks. It's been an incredible run. However, the CW has let us know that there will be no season 8 of #LegendsOfTomorrow. We are heartbroken, but also immensely grateful for the amazing work our cast, crew, and writers have contributed to the little show that could.
Thank you to our fans; your love and passion for our strange band of misfits has made every break, every script, every daily, every cut, and every mix worth all the hard work. We see you, we love you, and you'll always have a place on the Waverider.
