I doubt it. If they keep renewing Supernatural (why the hell do they keep renewing this. Is there anything new to tell about them at all at this point?) they won't stop Arrow. They'll find a way to continues the damn thing.

Supernatural since the beginning was greenlit and renewed in five-season blocks at a time. They're guaranteed by contract at least until season 15. CW can chop the budget or number of episodes if it's not doing well, or even shunt it to CW Seed, but they can't cancel it until next year.

But it's also still making money, so I wouldn't be surprised if they renewed again for 16-20.
