In February 2021, Dominic Purcell, who stars as Mick Rory / Heat Wave, indicated he would leave the series after the seventh season as it was the last on his contract. However, two months later, he announced he would be leaving the series after the sixth season, but would return periodically in the seventh; he ultimately did not appear outside of archive footage in the 100th episode. In July, it was announced that Ryan would be playing a new character named Gwyn Davies, rather than return as John Constantine, and that Pemberton, who voices Gideon, and who had occasionally played a human version of her character in past seasons, will be playing human Gideon full-time.

In February, Donald Faison was revealed to be appearing in the season finale in an undisclosed role, later revealed to be Booster Gold. Following the season finale, it was announced that regardless of whether or not an eighth season would be ordered, this season would be Zano's last appearance as a series regular. Zari Tomaz, also portrayed by Tala Ashe, exited the series at the end of this season with Nick Zano after being in a reduced capacity since season five. Tala Ashe stayed on as Zari Tarazi.
