DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 5, directed by Caity Lotz, took the audience on a fantastic journey. The Feb. 25 episode, fittingly titled ‘Mortal Khanbat,’ delivered yet another satisfying chapter of the story. By the end of the adventure, John Constantine had cheated death, and fans were primed for the next installment. Alas, The CW left eager viewers hanging on March 3 by airing a repeat of a previous episode instead of a new one.

The encore that the network chose to air, ‘Meet the Legends,’ was an entertaining romp, but those following the Season 5 arc may be anxious to see how the plot will continue to develop. Here’s the scoop on why DC’s Legends of Tomorrow took a break and when the show will return.

Why was ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ a repeat on March 3?

March 3 was Super Tuesday, which is one of many events that 2020 will bring during this election year. The race to the White House is heating up, and notable events and developments will be televised before, during, and after the election.

The news programming surrounding the election will often deliver drama, intrigue, and suspense, just like DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and other must-see television shows. As a result, politically themed programs will sometimes take the place of regularly scheduled lineups.

Since March 3 was Super Tuesday, The CW’s sister network, CBS, aired the Super Tuesday Election Special. The CW aired encore episodes of both The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. In all likelihood, the network scheduled repeat episodes of these shows to give viewers an opportunity to check out the time-sensitive political news event.

What episode will air on March 10?

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 6, ‘Mr. Parker’s Cul-De-Sac,’ will air on March 10 at 9 p.m. on The CW. What’s more, fans can buckle their safety belts to prep for more voyages on the Waverider with the Legends in the coming weeks.

The March 10 installment will ignite a hot streak of new episodes, which will air every Tuesday for the remainder of the month, as reported by episodecalendar.com. As the show sprints toward the Season 5 finale, the audience can look forward to more of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’s patented action, colorful villains, and cheeky banter.

The encore episode that aired on March 3, ‘Meet the Legends,’ explored a world in which the Legends became famous. More importantly, Constantine revealed the likely cause of the new time blips. With any luck, the March 10 episode will uncover even more plot details and push the narrative forward.

In ‘Mr. Parker’s Cul-De-Sac,’ calamity will ensue when another Encore appears. On top of that, Sarah will have some explaining to do about where she’s been. Based on the promo for ‘Mr. Parker’s Cul-De-Sac,’ the episode will pay homage to the classic children’s television program, Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. Along with the retro theme will come puppets, talking motorized toys, and one cozy cardigan.
