Was Legacies cancelled by The CW? (Is Legacies season 5 happening?)

Is Legacies cancelled or is Legacies season 5 happening? It’s the burning question on the minds of fans after The CW cancelled a handful of its hit series.

While in past years The CW has been one of the most generous networks in handing out renewals, the pending sale of the network has created a lot of questions among fans regarding the futures of their favorite shows with the cancellations of the veteran Arrowverse dramas showcasing just how real things were about to get.

Then came May 12.

Across the afternoon, The CW cancelled a total of seven additional series with only one lucky show getting a renewal amid the bloodbath. Was Legacies that lucky season or was it one of the unlucky shows to get their walking papers? s
