In season 5, the brilliantly zany CW superhero series is exploring how fame can affect people.
“They look down on us, both figuratively and literally.”
“We’re all more comfortable being underdogs,” executive producer Grainne Godfree tells EW.
“It’s like the nobility of [The Big Lebowski’s] The Dude.
He’s a slacker, but he’s also a hero.
We all like those slacker heroes.”
“We’re so lucky there is that family element within the cast and writers.
They take care of us, which is really nice.”
They’re not sophisticated enough!'
But accept them people have.
“We don’t play it safe.
I feel like it’s really authentic and original,” says Lotz.
It’s still emotional.
It’s not too earnest in the wrong ways."
“If we become popular, are we going to lose our mojo?”
“They’re famous for the first time and some of them are loving it.
“We’re interested in how fame affects people [in season 5],” says Klemmer.
“I really like the idea of tempting the Legends, that they’re still susceptible.
The season’s concern with fame also relates to the encores a.k.a.
Of course, the season’s other main concern is the Zari (Tala Ashe) of it all.
“That’s the one energy we’ve never had,” Klemmer says of their sibling dynamic.
“That seems like it’s going to be fun.”
KnowingLegends, that place will probably be wonderfully weird.
DC’s Legends of Tomorrowreturns in 2020 on the CW.
