‘Arrow’ Season 5: What We Know So Far

#5 – Season 5 Will Include Arrow‘s 100th Episode; To Be Directed By James Bamford

It’s been a long road for Arrow, with a lot of ups and downs, but at the end of the day the 100th episode of any series is a big deal. It’s hard to keep a show around for 100 episodes, and to watch what Arrow has grown into in terms of its own show’s evolution as well as its expansive universe is awe-inspiring.  After defeating Malcolm Merlyn, Deathstroke, Ra’s al-Ghul, and Damien Darhk, Green Arrow is still going strong. During the 4 series crossover, Arrow will be celebrating its 100th episode, and from all the tidbits we’ve heard so far about it, it sounds like it’s going to be legendary. Not to mention, Arrow stunt-coordinator James Bamford will be directing the episode. Bamford should be a big deal to Arrow fans, as he has been with the show since appearing briefly as “Gunman #2” in the pilot episode, all the way to directing the 7th episode of the 4th season, Brotherhood. Now, looking ahead to season 5, Bamford isn’t just directing the 100th episode of the series, but also the first two episodes of the season as well. One thing is for sure – if you want to ensure an episode has a lot of action, you give the stunt coordinator the director’s seat!
