Female-led Arrow spin-off in the works 

A new Arrow spinoff that will focus on the crime-fighting team The Canaries is currently in development. The show will star Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, and Juliana Harkavy as Dinah Drake.

An episode of the upcoming final season of Arrow will serve as a backdoor pilot for the potential series.

Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Beth Schwartz, Marc Guggenheim, Jill Blankenship and Oscar Balderrama will all be executive producers on the project, with Schwartz, Guggenheim, Blankenship and Balderrama co-writing the episode. Berlanti Productions will produce this project in association with Warner Bros. Television.

It was announced in March that the upcoming eighth season of Arrow would be the show’s last. The final season will consist of 10 episodes.

Arrow, launched in 2012, remains one of the CW network’s highest-rated shows.
