Season 3 of “Arrow” has come to a close and it proved to be divisive among fans to say the least. Some fans loved it, some didn’t. Either way, you can expect season 4 to be nothing like it.
Showrunner Marc Guggenheim told i09 that the next season of the show will have a lighter tone when it returns in the fall.
“It will take a lighter tone. That’s pretty much the only thing I say without spoiling it. We’ve been working for about a month now in the writers’ room, talking about Season Four, and I think that one thing we all collectively understood was Season Three beginning with Sara’s death, because it’s the death of a major character on the show, it set a tone for the remainder of the season. And I’m not the least bit apologetic for that tone. I happen to like dark and I like the fact that Arrow is a pretty dark show particularly for a network show. That said, every year you want to mix things up and there was sort of a collective desire on all of our parts to try to inject a little bit more lightness into the show, a little bit more humor. It’s not going to radically change. The show’s still going to be the show but in terms of tone we’re coming off a very very hard season for all of our characters. We wanted to try to mix it up a little bit.” Guggenheim said.
Stephen Amell also mentioned today that we’ve seen him wear the Arrow costume for the last time and that he won’t be putting it on in season 4. This has caused many fans to speculate that he will finally become Green Arrow next season.
