‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ Season 3: Arthur Darvill A Series Regular?
Arthur Darvill will reprise his role as Rip Hunter in Season 3 of “Legends of Tomorrow.” But will he be a series regular in the upcoming season?
“I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say,” Darvill told Digital Spy when asked if viewers will see more of him in Season 3. “I’m definitely in it, [but] there’ll be some of it that I’m not in! Honestly, I don’t know [how many episodes I’m in]. I really don’t know yet. There’s a plan, but who knows whether the plan sticks. They’d kill me if I actually gave away what the plan is, and also, guaranteed, the plan’s gonna change!”
Darvill was a series regular in Season 1. While he appeared in all 13 episodes of the show’s freshman run, the British actor only appeared in 11 of the 17 episodes of Season 2. Whether or not he will be a series regular in Season 3, Darvill assured fans that the upcoming season is going to be “very exciting.”

“I’m very happy with what we’ve come up with,” Darvill added. “They’re very good at keeping us involved in how our stories pan out, so I’m really excited to see where it goes in the future. I think there’ll be a few surprises in store for people!”
At the end of Season 2 finale, Rip left the Waverider with the belief that the team has functioned far better in his absence than it ever did under his leadership. In his touching parting scene with Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), Rip said that he decided to depart from the group because he has realized that there’s nothing more for him to teach everyone. While that scene could have easily wrapped up Rip’s storyline in the series, the synopsis for Season 3 released last month revealed that Rip’s journey isn’t over yet.
According to the synopsis, the Legends are going to face off against Rip and his newly established group called the Time Bureau. Like the Legends, the Time Bureau also keeps the timeline safe, but they don’t approve of the Legends’ methods of policing time. The Legends will then challenge the Time Bureau’s authority over the timeline and insist that however disordered their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Time Bureau’s capabilities and can only be fixed by them.
“Legends of Tomorrow” Season 3 will premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 9 p.m. EDT on The CW.
