DC's Legends of Tomorrow star Caity Lotz has opened up about where the CW series would have gone had it been renewed for another season.
Speaking at Motor City Comic Con during a panel with fellow Arrowverse star Katie Cassidy, Lotz discussed her history with the series following Legends of Tomorrow's sudden cancellation, as well as plot points that would have been explored in the planned eighth season. As is to be expected, Legends Season 8 would have picked up right where Season 7 left, with the heroes being arrested alongside Donald Faison's Booster Gold.
"Um... we were gonna be in jail," Lotz explained. "So, basically we'd kind of... [be] learning how to be responsible... Time Masters, so to say, or you know, time travelers, so like a retraining." According to Lotz, this planned retraining was going to see the Legends be given the responsibility of overseeing the training of various time travel cadets. "So they were gonna have us in jail, with a bunch of young cadets and stuff, and then we're the old-school ones, like 'We know how to do all of this!'"
However, in customary Legends fashion, things would have gone awry, with the team not taking to their new roles as mentors. "But we're doing it all wrong," Lotz said before going on to confirm the planned continuation of other plot points like Sara's pregnancy, as well as Booster Gold, whose introduction was intended as a way of securing another season for the series.
"And then we have the whole Booster Gold storyline which I thought was gonna be so fun... but that's kind of all I know about that," she said. "And then of course, yeah, Ava and Sara's kid."
Following the show's cancellation late last month, the cast and crew have been met with an overwhelming amount of support from the fanbase. When The CW recently announced its fall 2022 lineup, fans began using the hashtag "#SaveLegendsofTomorrow," campaigning for the series to get one final, eighth season to wrap up its storylines. Legends was preceded in its cancellation by fellow Arrowverse series Batwoman and later joined by multiple other shows, most recently Naomi, another DC property that had just aired its first season.
