Legends of Tomorrow season 2 will now have 17 episodes, up from its initial order of 13.
Legends of Tomorrow is one of the trickier shows in the CW's superhero TV stable, with its larger cast, presumably larger budget, and occasionally deeper ties to the rest of the universe. The first season was a relatively short 16 episodes (most of these run 22 or 23 episodes), and Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 was only given an initial order of 13 episodes.
But with the series performing well, TV Line now reports that the CW has granted it an extra 4 episodes, bringing the total up to 17, one more than they got for season one!
We've also got all the details on the next episode of Legends of Tomorrow right here for you...and this one is taking the team to Reagan's White House.
Here's the official synopsis for Legends of Tomorrow season 2 episode 4, "Compromised":
When the Legends trace a timequake to President Reagan’s White House, they are shocked to discover their old enemy Damien Darhk (guest star Neal McDonough) is now a Senior Adviser to Reagan. As the team works to uncover what Darhk has up his devious sleeve, Sara (Caity Lotz) struggles with the choice of getting revenge or helping with the team’s larger mission. Thinking that the JSA members could be of help, Amaya (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) and Nate (Nick Zano) break into the JSA and are surprised at what they find. Meanwhile, Stein (Victor Garber) tries to prevent his younger self from creating an even bigger time Abberation.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Story
Here's the first official synopsis for Legends of Tomorrow Season 2...
After the defeat of the immortal villain Vandal Savage and the corrupt Time Masters who colluded with him, a new threat emerges. Dr. Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), an unconventional and charming historian, is thrust into the action upon making a shocking discovery – the Legends are scattered throughout time. Nate must find a way to rescue season one’s beloved team of heroes and rogues, including billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), who has created an exo-suit with the power to shrink him to miniscule size, as the Atom; Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), the White Canary, a trained assassin; Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm; and Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), aka Heat Wave, a career criminal. When the Legends encounter the J.S.A (the Justice Society of America, the precursor to DC’s Justice League) in the 1940s, Amaya Jiwe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), aka Vixen, joins the team. While the team reunites, a mystery looms – the fate of former captain Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill).
Once reunited, the Legends continue their new mission to protect the timeline from temporal aberrations – unusual changes to history that spawn potentially catastrophic consequences. When Nate, the grandson of J.S.A. member Commander Steel, unexpectedly finds himself with powers, he must overcome his own insecurities and find the hero within himself. Ultimately, the Legends will clash with foes both past and present, to save the world from a mysterious new threat.
Oh, and Marc Guggenheim dropped this sweet JSA photo on his Twitter...

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Villains
But there will be plenty of villains to go around, too! Matt Letscher, who we first met as the Reverse-Flash on The Flash Season 2 (and who returns for season three) will be a series regular on Legends of Tomorrow Season 2. Wentworth Miller and John Barrowman will make Legends appearances as Malcolm Merlyn and Captain Cold, as will Neal McDonough as Damien Darkh.
“For season two of Legends, we decided that the perfect antagonist for TV’s first-ever team of Super Heroes would be TV’s first-ever team of Super-Villains, recruited from the ranks of Arrow and The Flash’s deadliest adversaries," executive producer Marc Guggenheim said. "Being huge fans of the Challenge of the Superfriends, we’ve come to call this group our ‘Legion of Doom.’”
