New Spin-Off TV Series In The Works

It was just announced tonight that there’s a new CW spin-off television series in the works, one which apparently includes Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), Martin Stein (Victor Garber), Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), and Caity Loitz (who played Sara Lance/Black Canary). As reported by TV Line, it’s some kind of “superhero team-up” series.

Or maybe they really will team up for other adventures. I’m really surprised and confused by this, but also pretty excited, because it’d be great to see the secondary characters in these shows fleshed out a bit more.

Spoilers for the next Flash episode behind the jump.
