The trio joins star Grant Gustin, whose current contract already goes through next season. (Martin’s, Patton’s and Panabaker’s contracts were up at the end of Season 7.)

Law & Order and Rent alum Martin is repped by ICM Partners, manager Bob McGowan and Kraditor & Haber. Panabaker is repped by UTA, John Carrabino Management and Goodman Genow Schenkman. Patton is repped by Stride Management and Jackoway Austen.
