Routh, Ford, and Garrett are only credited for their respective episode appearances while Swann is credited in all episodes except "Meet the Legends".
- This is the first season of DC's Legends of Tomorrow:

- Since Season 1:
- To premiere in January.
- To premiere and end in the same year.

That is similar to how the "Fugitives" were the "Big Bads" at the beginning of last season, but they were replaced mid-season by Neron.
- Beginning with "Zari, Not Zari", all episodes were moved from their original airdates due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] However, all 15 episodes were completed before the pandemic.[2][3]
