Waking up in the newly recreated universe, the Paragons discover they are the only ones who remember the Crisis and that Earth-38 and Jefferson Pierce's Earth were merged with Earth-1 into a composite universe, later designated as Earth-Prime. Not only that, Oliver Queen's second sacrifice also gave them all fresh starts. While J'onn J'onzz uses his psionic powers to restore their allies' memories, Sara Lance attempts to find Oliver, though without success. Later that night, the Paragons are attacked by shadow demons. A restored and remorseful Nash Wells discovers that the Anti-Monitor is still alive and plotting to renew his destruction of the multiverse. To stop him once and for all, Nash, Ray Palmer, Barry Allen, and Ryan Choi work to develop a bomb to shrink the Anti-Monitor for eternity while the other heroes distract him. Once it is finished, Kara Danvers uses it on the Anti-Monitor and sends him to the microverse. Sometime later, Barry, Kara, Sara, J'onn, Jefferson, Kate Kane, and Clark Kent hold a memorial service for Oliver before agreeing to work together to protect their new world in his memory.

This episode concludes a crossover event that begins on Supergirl season 5 episode 9, and continues on Batwoman season 1 episode 9, The Flash season 6 episode 9, and Arrow season 8 episode 8.

Development

edit

On January 31, 2019, The CW renewed the series for a fifth season.[35] Phil Klemmer and Keto Shimizu serve as the season's showrunners.[36]

Writing

edit

The fourth season ended with Astra Logue restoring many notorious historical figures like Genghis Khan, Joseph Stalin and Charles Manson to life. Klemmer said these characters would be called "Encores" and have the villain of the week treatment, while the Big Bad of the season would not be demon-related,[36] later revealed to be Lachesis and Atropos of the three Fates.[37] He explained this was done with the intention of returning to the series' roots, of being rooted "more firmly in history and historical periods and figures and true villains". Klemmer added that the season would explore what Zari Tomaz would look like if she "lived a more charmed life" and did not come from a "dystopian, authoritarian future".[20] The season also explores Zari's relationship with her brother Behrad Tarazi.[29] Following the season four finale, the Time Bureau was shut down and its former director Ava Sharpe was left unemployed. The fifth season sees Ava living on the Waverider with her girlfriend Sara Lance, trying to figure out how she fits on the team. It continues to grow the "Avalance" relationship,[38] and also features Sara developing the power of precognition.[39]

Casting

edit

Main cast members Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Tala Ashe, Jes Macallan, Amy Louise Pemberton, Courtney Ford, Nick Zano, Dominic Purcell and Matt Ryan return as Ray Palmer,[17] Sara Lance,[18] Charlie,[19] Zari Tomaz,[36] Ava Sharpe,[21] Gideon,[24] Nora Darhk,[22] Nate Heywood, Mick Rory,[17] and John Constantine respectively.[25] This is the final season for Routh, Ford and Richardson-Sellers,[40] with the episode "Romeo v Juliet: Dawn of Justness" marking Routh and Ford's final appearance as series regulars,[41] while Richardson-Sellers departed after the season finale.[42] Olivia Swann, who guest starred as Astra Logue in the fourth season, was promoted to the main cast for the fifth season.[23] Ramona Young, who starred as Mona Wu in the fourth season, returned as a recurring guest star.[27] Tala Ashe, who portrayed Zari Tomaz in seasons three and four, returned this season as Zari Tarazi, a new version of the character from an altered timeline while Zari Tomaz returned in a reduced capacity.

Filming

edit

Filming began on July 15, 2019.[17] The fifth episode of the season, "Mortal Khanbat", marks Lotz's directorial debut.[43][44] Filming wrapped in January 2020.[45] Although the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" episode was the eighth episode filmed,[46] the events of the episode occur before the rest of the season.[47][48]

Arrowverse tie-ins

edit

In December 2018, during the end of the annual Arrowverse crossover "Elseworlds", a follow-up crossover was announced titled "Crisis on Infinite Earths" based on the comic book series of the same name.[49] The crossover features Tyler Hoechlin reprising his role as the Earth-38 Clark Kent / Superman from Supergirl, while Routh portrays another version of Superman.[50] It took place over five episodes–three in December 2019 and two in January 2020, with Legends of Tomorrow's episode concluding the crossover.[51][52] The Legends of Tomorrow episode is considered a special episode, and not the series' fifth-season premiere.[52]

Release

The season premiered on The CW on January 21, 2020.[53][51][54] The season ran for 15 episodes,[55][56] which included the special episode produced for the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover before the season premiere.[52]
