Arrow cancelled with Season 5 or renewed for Season 6? According to EP Marc Guggenheim, the CW superhero series is very much striving for a sixth season, per EW:
Does the conclusion of the flashback storyline and the “legacy” emphasis mean that Arrow is eying the end of its run? “No,” says Guggenheim. “I think we tend to look at season 5 as the end of a particular chapter.” Arrow doesn’t seem to be in any danger of cancelation at present; while ratings are down from last season, it remains one of The CW’s four most-watched programs. The show’s longevity seems to surprise even the producers. The flashback storyline was always “a five-year deal,” says Guggenheim, and they intend to stick with that plan. “The show just turned out to be more successful than we anticipated.”
Whenever Arrow does end, Guggenheim apparently has a “very specific” conclusion in mind:
“[Will Oliver pay a price in the end?] It’s a great question. There’s an element of this show that’s very Sons of Anarchy to me, which had a similar question: Was there any redemption to be had for Jackson? I will say that I have a very specific notion as to how I would like to see the series end.”
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the cancel/renew status of Arrow Season 6…
