When will 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Season 6 return? Here's how the team might deal with Sara's alien abduction?
DC's campiest, most ridiculously fun time-traveling superhero television series ended on quite a cliffhanger and fans are eagerly awaiting the show's return. Life aboard the Waverider has definitely been shaken up, as the team has made room for new members, said goodbye to some old ones and had their leader quite suddenly abducted by aliens. We take a look at where Season 5 left off, when we can expect the show return for Season 6, and what we hope happens when it does.
Where we left off
At the end of 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Season 5, the Legends managed to defeat the Three Fates, restoring free will to the world after the Fates had taken control of it and forced people to live lives with pre-written destiny. One of their own team members, Charlie (Maise Richardson-Sellers) helped the Legends fight against her fellow Fates and now that she's free of the threads of Destiny and immortality, she decides to leave the team and continue her life with her British punk band, The Smell. After going to the past to attend one last concert of The Smell, the Legends are too distracted as they leave the concert venue to notice Sara Lance's (Caity Lotz) abduction that happened right behind them.
What we'd like to see happen
While the Waverider is a functioning spaceship, 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' has spent most of its five seasons galavanting through Earth's history, parodying a number of different film and television genres and properties in the process. The show has since moved on to dabbling in explorations of magic, then Greek myths, but with aliens thrown into the mix, we're hoping to see the show lean in more to science fiction and explore space more than time. While the show began as a time-travelling series, it's been made abundantly clear that 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' can do whatever it wants to, and sci-fi battles with aliens would really switch things up.
When is it returning?
The pandemic has put a lot of series on indefinite hold, but what helps is that 'Legends of Tomorrow', like many CW shows, is shot in Vancouver, which has fewer coronavirus concerns. Warner Bros. has committed to starting production soon on some of its Canadian-based TV shows, meaning that it's likely that 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' could return in the spring or early summer of 2021.
