Stephen Amell calls it quits and was the one who wanted to end it and didn't want to stick around for as long as Supernatural has
he next season of “Arrow” will be its last, Variety has learned.
The CW’s longest-running current DC Comics series, which was renewed for an eighth season back in January, will end after Season 8 airs during the 2019-2020 season. The final season will consist of 10 episodes.
“This was a difficult decision to come to, but like every hard decision we’ve made for the past seven years, it was with the best interests of ‘Arrow’ in mind,” series executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Beth Schwartz said in a statement. “We’re heartened by the fact that ‘Arrow’ has birthed an entire universe of shows that will continue on for many years to come. We’re excited about crafting a conclusion that honors the show, its characters and its legacy and are grateful to all the writers, producers, actors, and — more importantly — the incredible crew that has sustained us and the show for over seven years.”
Series star Stephen Amell also posted the following message on Twitter: “Playing Oliver Queen has been the greatest professional experience of my life… but you can’t be a vigilante forever…There’s so much to say… for now I just want to say thank you.”

Emily Bett Rickards, Grant Gustin react to news of Arrow ending
Arrow star Emily Bett Rickards and The Flash‘s Grant Gustin have opened up about the news that Arrow‘s upcoming eighth season will be its last.
On Friday, Rickards, who plays tech-genius Felicity Smoak — the breakout character of Arrow — broke her silence on Instagram and shared a truly heartfelt message in which she explained how the WBTV-produced series has meant to her.
“Without this show I would have not met the inspiring people pictured here nor those I have gotten to work with and get to work with everyday. People who have become my family,” she wrote. “I’m excited to see what is in store for the story we have been telling. I’m excited and nervous. A combination of emotions Felicity Smoak vibrates at frequently. Needless to say without the last seven years I wouldn’t have met her…”
On Saturday, Gustin, who made his debut as Barry Allen in Arrow season 2, wrote a similarly touching tribute to the show in which he reflected on the joy of working with Amell on the crossovers and what Arrow means to the entire Arrowverse it spawned.
“We don’t get to see a lot of each other, because we both work very similar schedules, on different shows, for 9 1/2 months out of the year. But when we’re brought together for those grueling crossover episodes, it always results in something pretty special,” he wrote. “And not JUST a special kind of hell. It’s just absolutely bananas to stand around with that many people in super suits, and get paid to play make believe on tv. It’s something that wouldn’t happen year after year if it weren’t for the groundwork that Arrow, Stephen and the whole cast and crew laid for us.”

'Arrow': Katie Cassidy-Rodgers Breaks Silence on Series Ending
"The SQUAD! & Forever my FAMILY. I ❤️ u. Thank you for inspiring me each & everyday as artists & individuals. You’ve helped shape me into the woman I am today. I will be forever grateful!" she wrote alongside a photo from Entertainment Weekly.
Cassidy-Rodgers has been a significant player on Arrow, originating as Earth-1's Laurel Lance/Black Canary. After Laurel was killed off in Season 4, Cassidy-Rodgers returned in Season 5 as Earth-2's Laurel Lance, though she was more an antagonist -- Black Siren. The character has been on a path to redemption, though, and is currently more of an ally to Team Arrow, albeit sometimes begrudgingly.
