“Arrow” season 5 sounds like it’s going to be rough for Oliver Queen. Not only is he headed to Russia for the final season of “island flashbacks” but he’s also going to be taking on some new villains as well.
Prometheus will be the big bad for “Arrow” season 5, and it’s already been revealed that Oliver unknowingly created the villain in season 1. Oliver will also have to deal with Tobias Church who will be played by “The Walking Dead” star Chad L. Coleman.
Things aren’t going to be easy for the Green Arrow, and he’s going to need some help. In season 5 Oliver will be recruiting a new Team Arrow, and the CW has released a new synopsis for the season premiere. According to the synopsis Felicity will be the one to suggest that Oliver find some new teammates. You can check out the new synopsis for “Legacy” below.
NEW BEGINNINGS — After Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) death and the departures of both Diggle (David Ramsey) and Thea (Willa Holland) from Team Arrow, Oliver (Stephen Amell) takes to the streets solo to protect Star City’s citizens as the Green Arrow. With Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) guiding him from the bunker, Oliver is forced to deal with a city that has become overrun with both criminals and a slew of new (and painfully inexperienced) vigilantes. Watching Oliver try to balance his jobs as both the mayor and also the protector of Star City, Felicity suggests he form a new team, but Oliver resists. However, when a deadly new criminal, Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman), enters the picture, Oliver realizes the best thing for the city might be a new team of superheroes. Meanwhile, the flashbacks take us to Russia where Oliver faces off against the Bratva.
