“Arrow” recently wrapped up season 5 with an explosive finale. At the end of the episode Lian Yu exploded with everyone but Oliver and William on the island, and now fans are trying to figure out who will still be on the show when season 6 premieres.
Stars such as Juliana Harkavy, Katie Cassidy Rick Gonzalez and more have all been confirmed as series regulars for season 6, and many fans have assumed that anyone who was announced as a series regular for the new season is likely safe. However, executive producer Marc Guggenheim recently spoke to EW, and he says that no one is safe.
“I will say this, in the interest of the whole series regular of it all, I know everyone is trying to determine who survives, who dies, what is the result of the cliffhanger based upon people’s contractual status. I’d say that is not necessarily a good idea. An example that I’d like to point to is, that was true say in The Walking Dead which, you know, they kind of had a season finale similar where you had a group of characters all of whom were series regulars in a dire situation at the end of their season. Just because they were series regulars did not mean that everyone came out of that cliffhanger alive.”
Who survived the finale? We’ll find out when “Arrow” returns in October.
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice.
As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).
Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his “family”.
