‘Arrow’ Seems To Have Pretty Good Chances Of Getting A New Spinoff

Arrow showrunner Beth Schwartz recently commented on the Star City 2046 storyline in Arrow, and the potential of a spin-off featuring the next-generation team of DC superheroes.

TV Line recently revealed some remarks from Arrow showrunner Beth Schwartz that can be taken by some as hope for an Arrow spinoff featuring the team of next-generation superheroes picking up the mantle of Oliver Queen. In a segment where fans ask them about their favorite series, the outlet revealed a quote from Schwartz where she says that they’re very much invested in what they’ve created with Arrow and that they would love to see the characters continue after the show’s over in some capacity:

Any rumblings about making Arrow‘s Kat McNamara, Ben Lewis and Joseph Jones series regulars for the final season? Or maybe a possible spin-off is in the works? — Stephanie


We did ask Schwartz if the all-flash forwards episode, “Star City 2040,” was envisioned as a backdoor pilot of sorts for a possible offshoot. “It was definitely meant to grow the world that we had already built and to see the next generation of what Oliver and Felicity and our present-day team have worked so hard for, and sort of see what happens in the future. We love those characters and would love to see them go on in some capacity after the show’s over [possibly via crossovers with the remaining Arrowverse shows.] We were so happy, internally, about how it came out. We kinda love our future story.”

Arrow returns on April 15th with the episode titled “Lost Canary” and you can read the official synopsis below:

BIRDS OF PREY; CAITY LOTZ GUEST STARS – After being accused of murder and having her criminal past exposed, Laurel (Katie Cassidy) goes full Black Siren and teams up with an old criminal acquaintance, Shadow Thief (guest star Carmel Amit), to go on a crime spree around Star City.
