Legends of Tomorrow is an American television series, developed by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Phil Klemmer, and Andrew Kreisberg, based on several characters from DC Comics. The series premiered in the United States on January 21, 2016, for The CW television network, and it finished its first season on May 19, 2016. A second season is scheduled to premiere in October 2016.

The team members (The Legends) who join Rip in Season 1 are: Dr. Martin Stein (Victor Garber); Ray Palmer / The Atom (Brandon Routh); Sara Lance / White Canary (Caity Lotz); Jefferson Jackson (Franz Drameh); Kendra Saunders / Hawkgirl (Ciara Renée); Carter Hall / Hawkman (Falk Hentschel); Mick Rory / Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell); and Leonard Snart / Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller).

The second season focuses on the remaining Legends fixing points in time that have been changed, called "aberrations"; they are joined by historian Nate Heywood/Citizen Steel (Nick Zano) and Justice Society member Amaya Jiwe/Vixen (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), and are pitted against the Legion of Doom, led by Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash (Matt Letscher).
