Arrow

Star Stephen Amell announced the show would return for a final 10-episode run next fall.

From ‘The Fresh Prince’ to the extended ‘Arrow’-verse. Reader, it got weird.

Jury’s out on whether Matt Ryan’s Constantine will ever return to live-action, but our favorite demon-hunting detective has nonetheless found new life. See for yourself in a first look at the CW Seed animated series, now set for a 2018 premiere.

Supergirl got short shrift in last year’s Arrow-verse crossover, but this fall’s full-fledged four-series event with Flash and Legends of Tomorrow will more than make up for it. Not only will the Supergirl cast get to take part, but Kara and Alex are apparently central to all four hours of the November event.

It can sometimes seem like Legends of Tomorrow becomes a haven for the other series’ villains, and Season 3 is continuing that course. Not only is Flash baddie Grodd going to menace the Legends, but there’s good reason behind the impossible returns of Damien Darhk and Leonard Snart.

Crazy as it is to think of Arrow In Space, the emerald archer’s DC crossovers are no weirder than Supernatural hanging out with Scooby-Doo. Might that one day give us Sam and Dean v. Queen? The Supernatural stars aren’t so sure.

We were lucky enough to get Manu Bennett’s Arrow return as Slade Wilson once; few would be surprised if Season 5 made death’s stroke permanent. That said, it seems Bennett will be back for Season 6 in an even more regular capacity, and his isn’t the only return.

Yes, where once Arrow Season 4 made us wait months for new footage, Season 5 is already here at Comic-Con 2016, with all-new friends. Oliver tries to assemble a new Team Arrow in the first trailer, as a new big bad looms over Star City, and guess who’s back from the grave to join every DC series at once?

Stephen Amell has promised that Arrow Season 5 will return to the series’ grounded roots, fitting given the end of Oliver’s five-year flashback cycle, and it seems the Green Arrow may appropriately deal with a major fallout of his Hood-ed past. Season 5's big bad has been revealed to result from the series’ early tendency for murder, something that now comes back to haunt Oliver.

The CW looks more and more like DC’s go-to network than ever, and the full fall 2016 premiere roster will stand as proof. Not only do we know when The Flash Season 3 will kick off The CW’s fall 2016 slate, so too do we know when to expect its Supergirl debut, Legends of Tomorrow, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and all the rest.
