It’s news that many saw coming as a possibility for a while, and now it’s confirmed: Arrow will be ending following an abbreviated eighth season on The CW.
It is to be assumed that the show will last long enough to make it to the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, where many have speculated that Oliver Queen will die.
Stephen Amell announced on Twitter that Arrow season eight will only be 10 episodes long, after which he will put down the bow. The show was a game changer for The CW and created the DC TV Universe with shows such as The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, Black Lightning, and even an upcoming Batwoman show staring Ruby Rose.
Playing Oliver Queen has been the greatest professional experience of my life… but you can’t be a vigilante forever.
Arrow will return for a final run of 10 episodes this Fall.
There’s so much to say… for now I just want to say thank you.
