ARROW Officially Renewed For Season 3 By The CW

To the surprise of very few (if any), Arrow has officially been renewed for its third season. The CW has announced that the hit DC Comics series has been picked up early for its 2014-2015 schedule, alongside renewed shows such as Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, and Reign. Of course, the spin-off pilot The Flash is also expected to be ordered to series, and will likely air alongside Arrow starting this fall. 

Again, this news is far from unexpected, as Arrow has been a very successful take on the DC Universe. Star Stephen Amell recently confirmed that a five-season telling of flashbacks to Oliver Queen’s time on the island was planned, and this move is another step toward that. We should be hearing more about fellow DC shows The Flash and iZombie at The CW’s upfronts in May, where we will learn if they will be ordered to series. [Via TV Line]
