LEGENDS OF TOMORROW Promotes Matt Ryan To Series Regular Ahead Of A Potential Season 4 Renewal
While The CW has yet to officially renew Legends of Tomorrow for another season, it looks like if/when they do, the Waverider will be getting another permanent occupant. Come check it out!
"My name is John Constantine. I am the one who steps from the shadows, all trench coat and arrogance. I'll drive your demons away, kick 'em in the bollocks, and spit on them when they're down, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone because, let's be honest... who would be crazy enough to walk it with me?"
It sounds like the master of the dark arts has finally found a group of heroes that are just crazy enough to walk his path alongside him as multiple sources are reporting that The CW has promoted Matt Ryan, who portrays the occult detective John Constantine, to series regular - granted that DC's Legends of Tomorrow is renewed for a fourth season.
Ryan has already reprised his fan-favorite role in one episode this season and is slated to return again in tonight's episode and then, in the April 9th season finale. His appearance in the latter will presumably serve as a set up for the possible fourth season.
He now becomes the third permanent new cast member aboard the Waverider after Tala Ashe (Zari Adrianna Tomaz) and Keiynan Lonsdale (Wally West/Kid Flash) were added to the team this season to compensate for the departures of Victor Garber (Martin Stein/Firestorm), Franz Drameh (Jefferson "Jax" Jackson/Firestorm), and Wentworth Miller (Leo Snart/Citizen Cold).
As for the show's chances at getting renewed, it remains up in the air at the moment, but CW president Mark Pedowitz did previously tell Entertainment Weekly that he was "optimistic" that all of their DC TV slate would return. Also, with the network expanding to a sixth night of programming (Sunday) this fall, the show is widely expected to receive a fourth season renewal as they look to fill the schedule with more original content. Legends is currently averaging 1.62 million total viewers and a 0.50 demo rating, which has been good enough for fifth and sixth, respectively, among all twelve of The CW's original dramas.

After defeating the Legion of Doom, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow face a new existential threat created by their actions at the end of last season. By revisiting a moment in time they’d already participated in, they’ve essentially fractured the timeline and created anachronisms 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 and his newly established Time Bureau call their methods into question and disband the team. Challenging the Time Bureau’s authority, they recruit a hacker from the future, Zari Tomaz and continue their time travelling shenanigans, while insisting that however messy their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Bureau’s capabilities. Some problems can only be fixed by Legends.
