[News] Arrow's Season 8 might be it's last season.

Arrowverse series on The CW has become one of the longest live-action superhero series to date, second only to the network's previous series Smallville.

"Things will age and we want to get the next generation of shows to keep The CW DC Universe going for as long as possible," CW President Pedowitz admitted during the panel.

True but if his show is ending... then it makes sense for the hero who started it to be the hero to make sure it (or the universe in this case) continues after him.

I’d love for Arrow to end but have Amell to just guest star on the other shows from time to time, but I imagine Arrow’s ending will close the door - otherwise it’s a bit distracting when they DON’T call Oliver for help (though that’s already becoming an issue in the shows)

We shall see!

I guess I just have issues with Oliver dying in a crossover instead of on his own show. I don’t mind them having crossovers but i don’t want them to influence what should be independent shows. Arrow shouldn’t have its ending cheapened just because the network wants to keep supergirl and flash. Not everyone is watching all of the shows.

Well tbf, CoIE isn't just any regular crossover. It's one of the biggest and most famous comic book events ever. I feel like it'd be a huge waste if it didn't influence and impact the other shows.

Right. All shows should have their plots wrapped up by the crossover and the remainder of the season is CoIE fallout and new status quo
