Development
In February 2021, The CW renewed Legends of Tomorrow for a seventh season.[6] Paiman Kalayeh and Mercedes M. Valle joined the writer's room, while Leah Poulliot and Emily F. Cheever were promoted to staff writers. Phil Klemmer and Keto Shimizu return as co-showrunners.[7]
Casting
Main cast members Caity Lotz, Tala Ashe, Jes Macallan, Olivia Swann, Adam Tsekhman, Shayan Sobhian, Lisseth Chavez, Amy Louise Pemberton, Nick Zano and Matt Ryan return as Sara Lance, Zari Tarazi, Ava Sharpe, Astra Logue, Gary Green, Behrad Tarazi, Esperanza Cruz, Gideon and Nate Heywood respectively.[8] In February 2021, Dominic Purcell, who stars as Mick Rory / Heat Wave, indicated he would leave the series after the seventh season as it was the last on his contract.[9] However, two months later, he announced he would be leaving the series after the sixth season, but would return periodically in the seventh;[10] he ultimately did not appear outside of archive footage in the 100th episode. In July, it was announced that Ryan would be playing a new character named Gwyn Davies, rather than return as John Constantine, and that Pemberton, who voices Gideon, and who had occasionally played a human version of her character in past seasons, will be playing human Gideon full-time.[11]
In October, it was announced that former series regular Wentworth Miller would return for the 100th episode. The following week, former series regulars Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Courtney Ford, Arthur Darvill, Franz Drameh, and Falk Hentschel were also confirmed to return. The following January, former series regular Matt Letscher returned for two episodes.
In February, Donald Faison was revealed to be appearing in the season finale in an undisclosed role, later revealed to be Booster Gold. Following the season finale, it was announced that regardless of whether or not an eighth season would be ordered, this season would be Zano's last appearance as a series regular.[12] Zari Tomaz, also portrayed by Tala Ashe, exited the series at the end of this season with Nick Zano after being in a reduced capacity since season five. Tala Ashe stayed on as Zari Tarazi.
Filming
Filming began on July 12, 2021,[13] and concluded on December 16.[14] [15]
Release
The season premiered on The CW on October 13, 2021,[16] and consisted of thirteen episodes.[17] The season finale aired on March 2, 2022,[18] and was not intended to be the series finale even though an eighth season had not yet been ordered.[19] Despite this, the series was cancelled on April 29, 2022.[20]
Reception
In a ranking of the series' run for MovieWeb, Richard Fink placed the season sixth, ahead of season one and behind season six.[21]
