We’re guessing that The CW Network Chairman & CEO Mark Pedowitz might be changing his mind about DC’s Legends of Tomorrow & Batwoman being “socially-engaged programming” after last week. Joined by the writers from Batwoman (another show more than deserving of a new season, too: #RenewBatwoman), the “Legends” writers & fans launched an epic #RenewLegendsOfTomorrow Twitter campaign that featured a different theme every day last week. Kicking things off on Monday, April 11, it was all about memes. Running Tuesday through Friday, there were Twitter Power Hours where each hour of tweeting focused on a specific theme. On Tuesday, it was all about favorite scenes/lines, followed by the characters the fans aligned with the most on Wednesday. On Thursday, it was the writers, directors, and producers’ turn to do the heavy lifting, sharing their favorite behind-the-scenes memories, videos & photos. And then on Friday, the fans had a chance to show off their artistic sides with a parade of fan art. The turnout was massive for the entire week, the kind of outpouring of love & support that gets attention.
So as both shows await their fates, a group of writers, directors, and cast members gathered together for a special featurette commemorating what this show means to them and to thank the loyal fans for always going above and beyond. Check it out:
As for that “special little surprise” promise that the writers made that would happen at the end of the campaign week? Well, just check out the video below (directed by Kevin Mock and edited by Andrew Kasch) for a little reassurance about who’s keeping a watch to make sure things are ready when a Season 8 happens- Beebo (Ben Diskin), with an intro from none other than Adam Tsekhman (Gary).
