After eight years and eight seasons, Arrow is coming to close soon, and while it's a bittersweet moment to see the emerald archer hang up his bow and arrows, there is still one more season left. The newest trailer for Arrow was just released, and there is a lot to take in.
The final season will consist of 10 episodes, one of which ties in to the CW/DC Universe event, Crisis on Infinite Earths. While there is little known about what's happening in the story as the show winds down, the trailer gives us a good idea of what's coming: a lot of fighting. Check out the trailer for yourself, below.
Rila Fukushima will be reprising her role as Katana and there is a whole army of Deathstrokes for Oliver to deal with this time around. Also, Tommy Merlyn popped up in the trailer too, so the past is coming back to haunt the Green Arrow. Overall, the trailer makes Season 8 seem like quite the hectic journey before it all comes to an end in early 2020, that is before the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover changes everything in the DC TV universe.
While this is the end of Oliver Queen's journey as Arrow, it won't be the end of the legacy. There is also an Arrow spinoff headed our way, featuring a female-centric cast. Katherine McNamara, Katie Cassidy, and Juliana Harkavy will return as series regulars during the final season, and there will be an episode that will serve as a backdoor pilot about a future Green Arrow and two other vigilantes known as The Canaries.
Season 8 of Arrow comes to the CW on Tuesday, October 15.
