Arrow, which premiered in 2012, is entering its eighth and final season. Amell’s character Oliver Queen/Arrow will have a new suit for the last ten episodes. In the final season, we will see the hero working for the Monitor trying to save the multiverse from a devastating event. To do that, Oliver will have to leave the comfort of Star City.
Arrow returns Tuesday, October 15 on The CW.
In the Entertainment Weekly article, Amell mentions “I’m very emotional and melancholy, but it’s time,” regarding the ending of the show. During the magazine photoshoot, Amell actually found out how it will end.
“I cried as [Marc Guggenheim] was telling me. There are a lot of hurdles to get over to make that final scene.”
