"Arrow" fans may have a reason to fret as there are rumors that the once hit The CW series may soon come to an end.
In 2012, "Arrow" premiered on the network with executive producer Andrew Kreisberg explaining at the TCA press tour that the series will end exactly how it will start. In the premiere, a flashback scene featuring Oliver (Stephen Amell) spying the fishing boat that would rescue him from Lian Yu was shown.
However, TV Line just confirmed that the same scene will be featured in the finale episode for "Arrow" Season 5. This led fans to think that the series could be ending soon. While speaking with the publication, executive producer Marc Guggenheim clarified that they initially wanted the final scene of the entire series to be the same one from the premiere. However, things changed along the way.
Guggenheim added that if it were only up to him, he would still find a way to work around the same idea. Unfortunately, they do not want the flashback scenes featuring Oliver to still be part of Season 6 or the upcoming installments. The showrunner's statement also confirmed that "Arrow" will go on at least for another season.
In the end, Guggenheim is confident that the changes they have planned ahead will make the "Arrow" Season 5 finale "pretty awesome."
Meanwhile, the upcoming ninth episode of "Arrow" Season 5 will see Prometheus figuring out the identities of the members of Team Arrow. There are also some rumors suggesting that clues will be revealed on who the hooded villain really is.
Other than this, episode 9 will see Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) working closely with Detective Malone (Tyler Ritter). The two characters will be finding clues on how Prometheus is linked to Oliver's past. In the teaser released by The CW for "What We Leave Behind," it was also revealed that Evelyn Sharp (Madison McLaughlin) will be going against the lead character. She will also be working closely with Prometheus, but it is unclear whether or not this is all for show.
"Arrow" Season 5, episode 9 will air on The CW on Dec. 7 at 8 p.m. EST.
