'Legacies' adds three episodes to season one roster; brings fresh comic relief to the show unlike its predecessors

CW has added three new episodes to the 'Legacies' season one, raising the 13-chapter series to a total of 16 episodes

The spin-off of a spin-off, The CW's 'Legacies' has been extended for three more episodes on its debut season. This means that the first season of 'Legacies' will run for 16 episodes, instead of the original 13-episode count. It has aired just three episodes so far and hasn't gained much viewership, hence this addition may seem surprising to many. However, The CW is known to keep its shows going irrespective of their viewership if the story demands it and this could just be one of those cases. It has however tipped up slightly since its premiere so this could also be a trial run for the show. 

Starring Danielle Rose Russell as Hope Mikaelson, along with Jenny Boyd and Kaylee Bryant as Lizzie and Josie Saltzman, and Matt Davis as Alaric Saltzman, the show follows the next-gen supernatural beings as they tackle teenage life, their own powers, and mythical creatures.
