“Arrow” season 5 is set to come to an end next week when Team Arrow battles Team Prometheus on Lian Yu. The show will be returning in the fall for season 6, and when it does it will air on Thursday nights instead of Wednesdays.
Season 6 should be an interesting step forward to say the least as the end of season 5 will also mark the end of the flashback sequences that tell Oliver’s story of his 5 years in hell. However, it looks like Oliver will still have to deal with his past, as the CW has released the official series description for season 6, and it teases that some enemies from the Emerald Archer’s past will be returning to Star City. Check it out below.
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”.
