Q: One of my favorite shows is “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.” Please tell me it will be back for another season! – Thomas F., via email

A: It shall be back for a fourth season, which will premiere this fall on Monday nights at 8/7c on the CW. I spoke with series star Adam Tsekhman (who plays Gary Green) about it, and he’s excited to get back to the set in July.

“They’ve created a lovely sort of egalitarian system on the set,” he told me. “All the actors kind of sit together; there are no egos. Everyone’s really sweet. I’m so lucky to be a part of it. And the role is so much fun. I get to work on my comedy chops and play in these fabulous environments. It’s time traveling, and every moment could mean the end for every character. And then, while that’s about to happen, someone (Gary) makes the jokes. So, it’s really fun, goofy and amazing.”

Later this year, fans will get to see Adam explore his darker side when he co-stars in the feature film “Dragged Across Concrete.” “It’s about these two cops, Vince Vaughn and Mel Gibson, who get sucked down into the dark criminal world to save their reputations. And I am one of those dark characters – Behzad, a used-car salesman. “It’s very dark. Very nefarious.”

Q: I remember you had written about a series reboot of the cult-classic film “Heathers,” but I haven’t seen anything about it lately. Do you know what’s going on? – Gina R. in Indiana

A: Paramount has canceled the reboot before an episode even had the chance to air on TV Land. It was originally slated to premiere in March, but that was pushed back due to the Parkland High School shootings. Then it was going to premiere in July, but the Santa Fe High School shootings happened, so Paramount scrapped it altogether. The producers are actively searching for a new home for the series.

Spoiler alert: “The Hollywood Reporter” sources say that season two was to be set in the 1700s and revolve around Marie Antoinette – with many of the key cast members returning in new roles. With season one perhaps being too triggering in our current “gun climate,” maybe they should just start with season two, which has a historical bent. It might make season one easier for some people to handle in the long run.

Q: What can you tell me about these “Legally Blonde 3” rumors I’ve been hearing? – Linda F., via email

A: I can tell you that it is definitely happening, with Reese Witherspoon and almost all of the original creative team on board! It’s been 15 years since “Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde” premiered, so I can’t wait to see what Elle and the crew have been up to in the interim.
