Legends Of Tomorrow is coming to UK tv are you psyched? I am – Skatronixxx
After acquiring CBS’s super-popular Supergirl in September, British channel Sky has secured the rights to air DC’s latest superhero show The Legends of Tomorrow in the new year.
Sky1’s director Adam McDonald, announced the move to buy the show: ‘Hot on the heels of the amazing success of Supergirl, I’m really pleased to announce that another exciting comic book drama is coming to the channel.’
‘From the team behind our three best-loved superhero shows and with a great high-profile cast, there’s real pedigree behind DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. And it’s set in the same world as The Flash and Arrow, too, so it couldn’t be more suited to Sky 1. Our customers are going to love it.’
For British fans this shouldn’t come as much of surprise, even though McDonald preference the move to buy the show given the success of Supergirl on both sides of the pond. The fact that the channel currently airs both Arrow and The Flash is an indicator that Sky1 recognises how closely associated all three shows will be going forward.
British fans will also rejoice at the return of Doctor Who alumni Arthur Davrill who on this go-around will command time and space himself as time-traveler Rip Hunter. Joining him in his quest to stop comic-book villain Vandal Savage (Casper Crump) will be an eclectic bunch of new and old faces including Arrow fan favourites White Canary (Caity Lotz) and The Atom (Brandon Routh), with The Flash nemeses Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) and Heatwave (Dominic Purcell) representing the fastest man alive universe. Comic-book fans will also get to see the debut of Hawkman (Falk Hentschal) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) while both Victor Garber and Franz Drameh will reprise their roles as two parts that make the superhero entity known as Firestorm.
An airdate for British viewers is still unknown but for American fans the show is scheduled to air on the CW on January 21, 2016.
