Marc Guggenheim

He didn’t even get a meeting with the new DC Studios team.

Get it? Green light?

Just as Arrow Season 6 jettisoned Oliver’s flashbacks, so too will Season 7 make another foundational change. Series showrunners Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle are apparently stepping back, and will be replaced by a longtime voice from the writers’ room.

Even as Arrow once again revoked access to Deathstroke, fans kept hope that recent references to Batman and Wonder Woman might signal greater leniency with the major DCEU characters. Not so, apparently, as Arrow boss Marc Guggenheim once again shoots down the notion that Justice League-rs Batman or Wonder Woman might make their CW debuts.

As if we needed further reason to contemplate Jamie Lee Curtis’ body of work today, True Lies is making its own return. The fan-favorite James Cameron-Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle will get the TV treatment with Arrow boss Marc Guggenheim, and Cameron eyed to produce.

Arrow will keep Manu Bennett’s Deathstroke around for a major arc in Season 6, though it’s worth remembering the character was off-limits for some time. Now, producers reveals how Deathstroke’s return was greenlit, and what to expect from a two-part Slade episode in Season 6.

One doesn’t generally look to Arrow for meditations on real-world issues, though the fifth season did tackle gun control in a format that resonated with producers. Ahead of Season 6, co-creator Marc Guggenheim reveals one upcoming episode will follow suit with a story related to Black Lives Matter.

Arrow will have a harder time keeping its fall 2017 premiere under-wraps than Legends of Tomorrow or The Flash, and with good reason. Prepare for the “Fallout” of Season 6, as our premiere title and production start teases an explosive return.

Just as The Flash and Arrow have gotten back to work in time for Comic-Con 2017, so too have DC’s Legends of Tomorrow rejoined the Waverider – with a twist. Not only have our first photos of the Legends back in action arrived, but also production news that might raise eyebrows for the premiere.

Arrow Season 5’s finale return to “Lian Yu” definitively caught up with the five-year flashbacks begun by the pilot, but left its own major gap to fill. Even so, Season 6 may not be done with its trips to the past, as executive producer Marc Guggenheim teases at least one more flashback when Arrow returns this fall.
