Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 will have a new status quo and some new characters.
What might be the strangest assortment of superheroes ever put on TV will be back for another round next year. The CW confirmed Legends of Tomorrow season 3 at the TCA Winter Tour back in January.
While no other details are available, and it's far too early in the show's current season to make too many predictions, we can safely assume that there will be more new obscure heroes and villains joining the party in Legends of Tomorrow season 3, and likely some new permanent faces on the Waverider.

And if Legends of Tomorrow season 3 were to do something really crazy like, I dunno, introduce the Legion of Super-Heroes, I wouldn't complain. After all, they did the Justice Society this year, so anything is possible, right? We'll update this with more information as we get it.
But that might not be the kind of craziness they're thinking of right now. “We have talked about Kamandi in the writers’ room,” Marc Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly. “He’s definitely a character that we love and a concept that we love. Certainly, we’ve opened the door for that kind of story. I can’t say that we’re absolutely committed to doing Kamandi next year, it’s just totally on the table and certainly something we’ve been talking about.”
He's referring to Jack Kirby's vision of a post-apocalyptic future where miltaristic animals are in charge and Kamandi is "the last boy on Earth." This could certainly fuel an episode, if not an entire season of the show.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Synopsis
The CW has dropped the official synopsis for the third season. Check it out:
After the defeat of Eobard Thawne and his equally nefarious Legion of Doom, the Legends face a new threat created by their actions at the end of last season. In revisiting a moment in time that they had already participated in, they have essentially fractured the timeline and created anachronisms – a scattering of people, animals, and objects all across time!
Our team must find a way to return all the anachronisms to their original timelines before the time stream falls apart. But before our Legends can jump back into action, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and his newly established Time Bureau call their methods into question. With the Time Bureau effectively the new sheriffs in town, the Legends disband – until Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) discovers one of them in the middle of his well-deserved vacation in Aruba. Seeing this as an opportunity to continue their time traveling heroics, Sara (Caity Lotz) wastes no time in getting the Legends back together.
We reunite with billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), the unconventional historian-turned-superhero Nick Heywood (Nick Zano), and Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm. Once reunited, the Legends will challenge the Time Bureau’s authority over the timeline and insist that however messy their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Bureau’s capabilities. Some problems can only be fixed by Legends.
Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Release Date
We can safely expect Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 to arrive in early October, which is the traditional launch date for the CW superhero shows. The CW confirmed that the show will stay on Tuesday nights in its 9 pm timeslot. Since the CW premieres are almost always in October, we're penciling in October 3 or 10 as the likely Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 premiere date. If anything changes, we'll let you know.
