12 TV Shows That Will Probably Be Cancelled In 2019

3. Legends Of Tomorrow

Legends of Tomorrow
The CW

The first season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow was, well, not great. The writing was clunky, the chemistry wasn't quite there, some of the team members didn't fit (looking at you, Hawkman and Hawkgirl), and the villain was poor.

Somehow, though, it's quietly shifted into becoming the best of all Arrowverse series. Admittedly the others have dropped off, but Legends is the one that has best embraced both its own premise - a team of superheroes who can travel through time - and the fun of comic books themselves. The show is extremely silly, but in an extremely knowing way, and the way the Legends bounce off each other is a joy to watch.

Just not for most people, apparently, since it's the lowest-rated of the four Arrowverse shows, and the only one not pulling in a million viewers. It has already been renewed for a fifth season, but there've been strong rumours about it coming to an end (like there were with Arrow before news of its own ending). The CW is looking to shift into a new phase of DC shows, si there's a good chance they'll call Season 5 the last. The Legends might have a tomorrow, but they probably don't have another year.
