Development

On January 31, 2019, The CW renewed Arrow for an eighth season.[2] On March 6, 2019, it was announced that it would be the final season of the series, with an abbreviated ten-episode order. Stephen Amell, who stars as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow, had approached series co-creator Greg Berlanti towards the end of the sixth season about "moving on" following the expiration of his contract at the end of the seventh season. He had hoped that the show could go on without him, but Berlanti and showrunners Marc Guggenheim and Beth Schwartz decided to conclude the series with a shortened eighth season, which Amell agreed to.[3]

Berlanti, Guggenheim and Schwartz released a press statement saying, "This was a difficult decision to come to, but like every hard decision we’ve made for the past seven years, it was with the best interests of Arrow in mind [...] We’re heartened by the fact that Arrow has birthed an entire universe of shows that will continue on for many years to come. We’re excited about crafting a conclusion that honors the show, its characters and its legacy and are grateful to all the writers, producers, actors, and – more importantly – the incredible crew that has sustained us and the show for over seven years."[4]

Writing

As with the seventh season of Arrow, the eighth season will make extensive use of the flashforwards storytelling technique.[5]

Casting

Main cast members Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Colton Haynes and Katie Cassidy Rodgers return as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow, John Diggle, Rene Ramirez, Dinah Drake, Roy Harper and Laurel Lance respectively.[6][7] This is the first season not to feature Emily Bett Rickards, who portrayed Felicity Smoak as a recurring character in season 1 and as a main cast member till the seventh season.[8]

Filming

Filming will last till November 2019.[9]

Arrowverse tie-ins
