Now, CW Seed is adding a new animated series to the DC TV universe with Freedom Fighters: The Ray.
The CW has been building up its live-action DC Comics universe since the introduction of Arrow in 2012, which was followed by The Flash after Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) made his debut alongside Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell).
However, also existing within The CW’s DC Comics multiverse is the Vixen animated series on the network’s online platform, CW Seed. The show’s hero, Mari McCabe (Megalyn Echikunwoke), made the jump to live-action in Arrow season 4, and the Vixen mantle has since been added to Legends of Tomorrow season 2, albeit held by new character Amaya Jiwe (Maisie Richardson-Sellers).
Freedom Fighters: The Ray is expected to premiere on CW Seed in 2017.
