The “Arrow” season 5 finale left fans with a big cliffhanger, and at the moment Oliver Queen and his son William are the only two characters that we know survived the epic episode. Oliver managed to save his son from Adrian Chase, and it sounds like we’re going to be seeing a lot more of William in season 6.
Stephen Amell recently answered some fan questions at Portland Heroes & Villains Fan Fest, and he said that Oliver Queen’s relationship with his son will have some interesting dynamics (via CinemaBlend).
“I’m excited that not only are they going to learn about having the father/son relationship, I think we’re going to explore that in Season 6, but [William] also knows that Oliver is the Green Arrow. So there’s a lot of interesting layers and dynamics. I’m just excited to have to teach him a lesson. As a father, Oliver will definitely try to be better than what he’s been as a person… So hopefully he can be a good example for William.”
Up until now William has mostly been used as a plot device, so it should be interesting to see how the show handles Oliver Queen embracing his responsibilities as a father.
“Arrow” will return for season 6 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”.
