‘Arrow’ Series Finale: What’s Next For The Cast?
The CW’s “Arrow” is coming to an end, but fans will still be able to see the cast on TV. Quite a few past and present series regulars have already booked their next jobs. Find out where to see the superhero actors after the “Arrow” series finale airs on Tuesday night.
Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow) won’t be gone from the small screen for long. He will star in “Heels,” a wrestling drama on premium cable network Starz. Kelli Berglund, Alexander Ludwig and Alison Luff also star in the eight-episode drama, which follows independent wrestlers.
The Green Arrow actor is also set to reunite with cousin Robbie Amell. Quibi, a streaming service set to launch this year, is developing a spinoff to their film “Code 8,” the crowd-funded sci-fi thriller that hit theaters in December.
Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity Smoak) left the series last year but returns for Tuesday’s series finale. She’ll next star in “We Need to Talk,” an indie dramedy about a self-centered celebrity who hears his girlfriend say, “We need to talk” before she heads to work. He goes on a wild goose chase to figure out what she’ll bring up. James Maslow, Christel Khalil and Tray Chaney co-star.
Colton Haynes (Roy Harper/Arsenal) has finished filming the drama “Triumph.” The movie stars RJ Mitte (“Breaking Bad”) as a teen with mild cerebral palsy as he attempts to join the wrestling team and win over his crush. Terrence Howard (“Empire”) co-stars and executive produces.
Katie Cassidy (Laurel Lance/Black Siren), Juliana Harkavy (Dinah Drake/Black Canary) and Katherine McNamara (Mia Smoak/Green Arrow) are not leaving the Arrowverse, at least if all goes well. The three women are signed on to headline “Green Arrow and the Canaries,” the 2040-set “Arrow” spinoff that was set up in Season 8, episode 9. The CW has not announced if the show has been greenlit yet. Based on the backdoor pilot, it seems that Ben Lewis (William Clayton), Joseph-David Jones (Connor Hawke) and Andrea Sixtos (Zoe Ramirez) will also have roles in the new Arrowverse TV show.
Caity Lotz (Sara Lance/White Canary) also isn’t leaving the Arrowverse. She’s back on “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.” Season 5 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on The CW.
Paul Blackthorne (Quentin Lance) is filming “Home Invasion,” a sci-fi comedy about a a family of aliens sent to invade earth, and then two burglars choose the wrong house to break into. Morena Baccarin (“Gotham”) also stars in the English-language series, which will premiere in the Nordic region in 2020 on Viaplay.
John Barrowman (Malcolm Merlyn) just returned to another cult-favorite sci-fi hit, “Doctor Who.” He reprised his role as Captain Jack Harkness after a 10-year absence, and it seems like his character could return later in Season 12. He is also a judge on the UK’s “Dancing on Ice.”
Katrina Law (Nyssa al Ghul) is now a series regular on “Hawaii Five-0,” where she plays Quinn Liu, but she wouldn’t mind returning to rainy Vancouver. She told International Business Times that she hopes to play Nyssa on “Batwoman” one day.
The “Arrow” series finale airs Tuesday on The CW at 9 p.m. EST. It will follow the retrospective special “Arrow: Hitting the Bullseye” at 8 p.m. EST.
