Thank you to our fans; your love and passion for our strange band of misfits has made every break, every script, every daily, every cut, and every mix worth all the hard work. We see you, we love you, and you’ll always have a place on the Waverider.

Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries also tweeted to announce the cancellation of her show, expressing her dissatisfaction. Here’s what her tweet read:

Legends of Tomorrow had premiered back in January 2016 and continued for seven seasons, while Batwoman premiered in October 2019 and ran for three seasons. Neither CW nor the showrunners explained any specific reason for the sudden cancellation, especially since the show ended on a cliffhanger.

The show’s creators, cast and crew shared heartfelt thank you messages expressing their gratitude to the fans.

CW is yet to decide on the fate of its other shows, including Charmed, Dynasty, In the Dark, Legacies, Roswell, New Mexico and Stargirl.
