As the series comes to a close, The CW has announced it is developing of Arrow that will be set in the far future and focus on Oliver Queen’s daughter Mia Smoak.

McNamara will star alongside Katie Cassidy Rodgers and Juliana Harkavy, who previously played different versions of the Black Canary, reprising as those heroes. Arrow showrunner Beth Schwartz will co-write the episode with Arrow co-creator Marc Guggenheim and Jill Blankenship & Oscar Balderrama.
This marks the latest entry in the “Arrow-verse” for The CW, which will see its flagship series officially conclude this next year. Other shows set in the series’ continuity include The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and the upcoming Batwoman.
It remains to be seen when this backdoor pilot will air during Arrow‘s final season, or if these characters will somehow be roped into the major crossover event, “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” but it certainly seems like a possibility.
