Legends Of Tomorrow Season 3 Begins Production With “Freakshow”

The CW’s DC shows are all on hiatus, but that off-time is quickly coming to an end, and for Legends of Tomorrow that time has already come.

Executive producer Marc Guggenheim shared a glimpse of the script from episode 2 of Legends of Tomorrow season 3, titled Freakshow. As Guggenheim mentions in his caption, the episode started shooting today and will run through July 18th.

Guggenheim said “Legends of Tomorrow begins production on its third season today with Ep. 302. Yup, we’re shooting out of order. @godfreestories @ketomizu.”

The episode is written by Keto Shimizu and Grainne Godfree and is being directed by Kevin Tancharoen.

At the end of season 2, the Legends managed to break time. That’s a bad thing of course but it also means good things for viewers, as the possibilities are endless as to what the Legends will and can encounter.

You can view the season’s description below.

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.

Supergirl premieres on Monday, October 9th at 8 pm, while The Flash debuts on Tuesday, October 10 at 8 pm. Legends of Tomorrow moves to Tuesdays this Fall, airing right after The Flash on October 10. On Thursday, October 12 at 9 pm Arrow will premiere to round out the DC roster.
