In 2016, historian Nate Heywood enlists Mayor Oliver Queen's help in locating the Waverider after it was caught in a nuclear blast in 1942. They find the ship submerged with only Mick aboard in stasis, who reveals what happened after being revived. Rip's team—Mick, Ray, Sara, Jax, and Martin—traveled through time dealing with "aberrations" in history. They also encountered Justice Society of America (JSA) member Rex Tyler, who warned them not to travel to 1942 before vanishing. After learning that a nuclear bomb would be detonated in New York City in 1942, the Legends ignored the warning and discovered Damien Darhk, working with the Nazis, was behind the attack. Sara attempted to kill Darhk to avenge Laurel, but Darhk escaped and launched his atomic bomb toward New York from a U-boat. Rip scattered the team throughout time, except for the injured Mick, to save their lives while he intercepted the bomb with the Waverider. In the present, Mick and Nate use the Waverider to travel through time and rescue everyone, but fail to locate Rip. After preventing the Nazis from obtaining a nuclear bomb in 1942, the team is confronted by the JSA. Meanwhile, Darhk is shown to be working with Eobard Thawne.

The JSA captures the team, believing them to be Nazi spies with Rex having no memory of meeting them. Nate reveals that he is the grandson of JSA member Commander Steel. After the JSA is assigned to track down Nazi captain Baron Krieger, they release the team and advise them to leave 1942. The JSA learns that Krieger intends to trade away a mystical amulet; his trade partner is Eobard, who has given him a sample of the serum with which he intends to barter. Nate discovers that the JSA dies on this mission, so the team returns to rescue them. While the teams collect the amulet, Krieger uses the serum on himself and turns into a monstrous superhuman. Krieger captures Ray and Amaya. Ray offers to replicate the formula to save Amaya. The teams rescue Ray and Amaya, and defeat Krieger. However, Nate, a hemophiliac, is injured in the fighting. He is saved with a modified version of the serum created by Ray. Before the team departs, Eobard steals the amulet from JSA headquarters and stabs Rex to erase him from the timeline before he can discover Eobard's plan like he did in a previous encounter. A dying Rex whispers "time traveler" to Amaya.

Amaya stows away on the Waverider and attacks Mick, believing him responsible for Rex's death (simply because he is a criminal). Nate stops her using his newly-developed ability to convert his body to a steel-like form. Sara convinces Amaya that a rogue time traveler is likely to blame for the murder. An accident during Ray's testing of Nate's abilities throws both men into the time vortex and strands them in 17th-century feudal Japan. Nate is found and cared for by Masako Yamashiro, the betrothed of shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu whose samurai capture Ray. Sara, Amaya, and Mick rescue Ray from Tokugawa, who uses the Atom suit against them. They meet up with a recovered Nate, who does not want to leave Masako to Tokugawa's mercy. They defend Masako's village from the samurai, while Ray and Nate defeat Tokugawa by destroying the Atom suit. Nate and Amaya officially join the team. Meanwhile, Jax and Stein discover a hidden armory inside the ship and a secret message from Barry Allen from 2056 intended for Rip and forbidden from the crew.

Upon arriving, they encounter a black man, Henry Scott, being chased by Confederate soldiers that have been turned into zombies by a virus carried by the pirate. The team defeats the group of zombies, but Henry is killed. Before his death, Henry reveals he is a Union spy assigned to steal Confederate battle plans for General Grant and asks Jax to complete his mission. The team discovers that Mick is infected with the virus and returns him to the Waverider, where Ray and Martin ultimately manage to cure him. Sara and Nate go to warn Grant about the zombies while Jax and Amaya attempt to steal the plans. Jax runs afoul of a plantation owner and is locked up. Amaya frees him and the other black prisoners. They find the plans and burn down the mansion during a zombie attack. Meanwhile, Grant's camp is also attacked by zombies. Sara formulates a successful plan to kill them using Nate's powers.

The team infiltrates the White House as tourists and finds Darhk there as one of the treaty negotiators. Sara again attempts to kill him, which alerts White House security and forces the team to make a very public escape. They soon learn that Darhk is making his own secret deal with the KGB. Returning to the White House during a state dinner, they discover him and H.I.V.E. making an exchange with KGB agents for a box with an unknown item. The team defeats the H.I.V.E soldiers and the Russians. Sara confronts Darhk, but spares his life. Instead, she reveals his future to torture him: his master plan's failure, his wife's murder, and his own eventual death. Eobard whisks Darhk away, but not before Sara steals the box from him. She realizes the team is up against a time-traveling speedster. Unnerved by Sara's revelation, Darhk insists on teaming up with Eobard and the two enter the time stream.

The team learns of an aberration in Colorado, 1874, where they save Jonah Hex from execution. He reveals that he is fighting an outlaw boss named Quentin Turnbull. Nate reveals that the aberration is Turnbull leading the Western US in its secession to form "Turnbull Country". The team learns that Turnbull is extracting dwarf star, which Ray used for his A.T.O.M. suit, and that Turnbull is planning to destroy a critical mountain pass connecting the Eastern US to the West, stopping the US Army from supplying the West. While Sara and Jonah engage Turnbull, Mick and Amaya destroy the mine and Nate uses his powers to stop the train. Instead of killing Turnbull, Jonah decides to deliver him to the authorities. With the dwarf star reappropriated, Ray plans to rebuild his suit and shows Nate the suit he has made for the latter. Amaya decides to teach Mick to control his anger.

Meanwhile in Central City 2016, the team learns that the Dominators know about Barry's manipulation of the timeline and that they demand his surrender in exchange for peace. After the Legends return, the team discovers that the Dominators' weapon is a bomb that will kill all metahumans on Earth with millions of collateral human casualties. The team dissuades Barry from surrendering and Cisco reconciles with him. They manage to destroy the bomb and force the Dominators to retreat using pain-inflicting nanotechnology.

Meanwhile, Mick begins having hallucinations of Snart, who belittles him for acting like his teammates. Sara and Martin are abducted by Eobard during their infiltration and raid on Capone's club. Malcolm offers Sara a chance to change her past in return for the amulet she took from Darhk in 1987, but she refuses. The team rescues the captives, but "Martin" turns out to be a disguised Eobard, who searches the Waverider at super-speed for the amulet while Malcolm and Capone's men attack the ship directly. Eobard barely escapes revenge at Amaya's hand, but Sara surrenders the amulet for Martin's safety. The Legends succeed in correcting the timeline. Eobard later shows his partners that the completed amulet projects a holographic map that can locate the Spear of Destiny, which is able to "rewrite reality itself". They must next locate Rip Hunter, who is revealed to be working as a movie director in 1967 Los Angeles.

Both parties escape and Rip is arrested by the police, believing he started the fight. The team springs him from custody and takes him to the Waverider. Nate and Ray lose their specialities and powers since the aberration caused Lucas to quit filmmaking. While Nate, Amaya, and Ray meet Lucas to dissuade him from dropping out of school, the others learn that Lucas had a fragment of the spear. Darhk and Malcolm overpower Amaya's party and force them to search for the fragment in a dumpster. The others arrive and a battle ensues during which they recover the fragment and the Medallion. Rip, however, is abducted by Eobard and threatened with torture. Lucas returns to filmmaking and the team vows to rescue Rip.

Cast and characters edit

Guest edit

Production edit

Development edit

On March 11, 2016, Legends of Tomorrow was renewed for a second season.[47] After the first season, the producers considered adjusting the Legends team for additional seasons, with Joseph David-Jones' Connor Hawke and Megalyn Echikunwoke's Mari McCabe / Vixen potential additions.[48][49] For the second season, showrunner Phil 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 Arrow's lead actor Stephen Amell and The Flash's lead actor Grant 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."[50] The second season initially consisted of 13 episodes,[51] with four more ordered in November 2016 to bring the season total to 17.[52]

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."[50] The season also introduced members of the Justice Society of America.[53] The Society consisted of Hourman, Vixen, Commander Steel, Obsidian, Stargirl and Dr. Mid-Nite.[54] The season also featured a version of the Legion of Doom, composed of Eobard Thawne / Reverse-Flash, Malcolm Merlyn, Damien Darhk and Leonard Snart / Captain Cold.[18]

Casting edit

Main cast members Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Arthur Darvill, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Amy Pemberton, and Dominic Purcell returned from the previous season as Martin Stein, Ray Palmer, Rip Hunter, Sara Lance, Jefferson Jackson, Gideon, and Mick Rory, respectively.[18][55] They were joined by Matt Letscher, Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Nick Zano, playing Eobard Thawne,[56] Amaya Jiwe,[57] and Nate Heywood, respectively.[58] Letscher reprised his role from The Flash.[56] It was originally intended for Megalyn Echikunwoke, who voices Mari McCabe / Vixen in the animated web series Vixen, to reprise her role in this series, but due to scheduling conflicts for Echikunwoke, the producers instead cast Sellers as Jiwe, McCabe's grandmother and an earlier incarnation of Vixen.[57] This incarnation was an original creation for the series.[59] Darvill was absent for 5 episodes this season due to his commitment to the ITV series Broadchurch.[60] Pemberton physically portrayed Gideon in the episode "Land of the Lost", unlike earlier episodes where she only voiced the character.[55]

Wentworth Miller, who portrayed Leonard Snart / Captain Cold as a regular in season one, signed a contract with Warner Bros. TV to continue portraying Snart simultaneously on multiple shows in the Arrowverse, including Legends of Tomorrow.[61] John Barrowman and Katie Cassidy, who portrayed Malcolm Merlyn and Laurel Lance respectively on Arrow, signed a similar contract that allowed them to continue being a series regular on Arrow as well as the other Arrowverse shows, including The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.[62] Neal McDonough, who recurred as Damien Darhk on Arrow and made a guest appearance in season one of Legends of Tomorrow, returned to the series in a recurring capacity.[18] Ciara Renée and Falk Hentschel, who starred as Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl and Carter Hall / Hawkman respectively in the first season, did not return for the second, with Legends of Tomorrow co-creator Marc Guggenheim saying the writers could not find a suitable story for their characters set after the first season, adding, "The bow was tied so tightly and neatly with their story in the finale, that everything we thought of felt very forced. After 4000 years, they were no longer under the specter of Vandal [Savage], and we felt they need some time off." He added that bringing the duo back at the very beginning of the second season felt "premature."[63]

Filming edit

Shooting for the season began in July 2016 at Vancouver,[64] and ended in February 2017.[65]

Arrowverse tie-ins edit

In November 2016, the cast of Legends of Tomorrow appeared on The Flash and Arrow as part of the three-part "Invasion!" crossover event; the crossover episodes also featured appearances by Melissa Benoist, reprising her role as Kara Danvers / Supergirl from the TV series Supergirl.[66][36]

Release edit

Broadcast edit

The season began airing on October 13, 2016, on The CW in the United States,[1] and concluded on April 4, 2017.[17]

Home media edit

The season was made available for streaming on Netflix in late April 2017, soon after the season finale aired.[67] It was later released on Blu-ray on August 15, 2017.[68]

Critical response edit

Rotten Tomatoes gave the season an 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."[86] Jesse Schedeen of IGN called it a significant improvement over the first season, saying it reduced "most of what didn't work about Season 1 and added several worthy new characters to the mix." He noted that while the season was "crammed full of compelling character arcs and plot twists", it thrived simply by "offering a sense of whimsical adventure and comedy that be frustratingly hard to find in other live-action DC projects."[87] Caitlin Kelly of Hypable wrote that the reasons Season 2 works so well are because of its new roster, the evolving dynamics of its main characters, great villains, and the fun, which made it easier to not care about plot holes.[88] Several years later, Matthew Sonnack of CBR called Season 2 the best of Legends of Tomorrow, "with the perfect balance of action, humor, drama, and heart."[89]

edit On March 11 2016 Legends of Tomorrow was renewed for a second season 47 After the first season the producers considered adjusting the Legends team for additional seasons with Joseph David Jones Connor Hawke and Megalyn Echikunwoke s Mari McCabe Vixen potential additions 48 49 For the second season showrunner Phil 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 Arrow s lead actor Stephen Amell and The Flash s lead actor Grant 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 50 The second season initially consisted of 13 episodes 51 with four more ordered in November 2016 to bring the season total to 17 52 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 50 The season also introduced members of the Justice Society of America 53 The Society consisted of Hourman Vixen Commander Steel Obsidian Stargirl and Dr Mid Nite 54 The season also featured a version of the Legion of Doom composed of Eobard Thawne Reverse Flash Malcolm Merlyn Damien Darhk and Leonard Snart Captain Cold 18 Casting edit Main cast members Victor Garber Brandon Routh Arthur Darvill Caity Lotz Franz Drameh Amy Pemberton and Dominic Purcell returned from the previous season as

56 Amaya Jiwe 57 and Nate Heywood respectively 58 Letscher reprised his role from The Flash 56 It was originally intended for Megalyn Echikunwoke who voices Mari McCabe Vixen in the animated web series Vixen to reprise her role in this series but due to scheduling conflicts for Echikunwoke the producers instead cast Sellers as Jiwe McCabe s grandmother and an earlier incarnation of Vixen 57 This incarnation was an original creation for the series 59 Darvill was absent for 5 episodes this season due to his commitment to the ITV series Broadchurch 60 Pemberton physically portrayed Gideon in the episode Land of the Lost unlike earlier episodes where she only voiced the character 55 Wentworth Miller who portrayed Leonard Snart Captain Cold as a regular in season one signed a contract with Warner Bros TV to continue portraying Snart simultaneously on multiple shows in the Arrowverse including Legends of Tomorrow 61 John Barrowman and Katie Cassidy who portrayed Malcolm Merlyn and Laurel Lance respectively on Arrow signed a similar contract that allowed them to continue being a series regular on Arrow as well as the other Arrowverse shows including The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow 62 Neal McDonough who recurred as Damien Darhk on Arrow and made a guest appearance in season one of Legends of Tomorrow returned to the series in a recurring capacity 18 Ciara Renee and Falk Hentschel who starred as Kendra Saunders Hawkgirl and Carter Hall Hawkman respectively in the first season did not return for the second with Legends of Tomorrow co creator Marc Guggenheim saying the writers could not find a suitable story for their characters set after the first season adding The bow was tied so tightly and neatly with their story in the finale that everything we thought of felt very forced After 4000 years they were no longer under the specter of Vandal Savage and we felt they need some time off He added that bringing the duo back at the very beginning of the second season felt premature 63 Filming edit Shooting for the season began in July 2016 at Vancouver 64 and ended in February 2017 65 Arrowverse tie ins edit In November 2016 the cast of Legends of Tomorrow

Though the narrative remains too ambitious DC s Legends of Tomorrow enjoys a freer creative arc with the removal of problem characters 86 Jesse Schedeen of IGN called it a significant improvement over the first season saying it reduced most of what didn t work about Season 1 and added several worthy new characters to the mix He noted that while the season was crammed full of compelling character arcs and plot twists it thrived simply by offering a sense of whimsical adventure and comedy that be frustratingly hard to find in other live action DC projects 87 Caitlin Kelly of Hypable wrote that the reasons Season 2 works so well are because of its new roster the evolving dynamics of its main characters great villains and the fun which made it easier to not care about plot holes 88 Several years later Matthew Sonnack of CBR called Season 2 the best of Legends of Tomorrow with the perfect balance of action humor drama and heart 89 Accolades edit Award nominations for Legends of Tomorrow
