First teased at the recent TCA, it's now been officially confirmed that The CW is working on an Arrow spinoff centered around three of the show's female characters.
According to multiple sources, Katherine McNamara, Katie Cassidy and Juliana Harkavy are set to reprise their respective roles of Mia Smoak/Green Arrow and Canaries Laurel Lance and Dinah Drake, respectively. The untitled (potential) series is set to air as a backdoor pilot in Arrow's upcoming final season, which premieres on October 15.
We're not sure when the show will be set, but if it takes place in the future or time-travel is involved, there's a decent chance Oliver Queen's son William (Ben Lewis) and Diggle's adopted son Connor Hawke (Joseph David-Jones) will also feature.
Although they probably wouldn't be able to call this show "Birds of Prey" even if they wanted to, it does essentially appear to be a small-screen take on that all-female team.
