The renewal announcement also noted that Knightfall is welcoming former The Flash co-showrunner Aaron Helbing to take over the day-to-day duties for Season 2, which will make for quite the interesting reunion with Mark Hamill, who made several appearances on The CW superhero drama reprising his role of The Trickster from the original 1990s The Flash TV series.
With Knightfall having wrapped its freshman season all the way back in February, History certainly wasn’t speedy about making any Season 2 declarations, but it’s possible that the network execs were busy connecting the dots in finding a replacemen for former showrunner Dominic Minghella.
