ARROW: Marc Guggenheim And Wendy Mericle Step Down As Showrunners; Beth Schwartz Will Take Over
As current showrunner Marc Guggenheim and Co-showrunner Wendy Mericle step down, The CW's Arrow welcomes a brand new showrunner in Beth Schwartz, who will take over for season 7! More news after the jump!
It was reported by Deadline that Beth Schwartz, who is all too familiar with Arrow, will step up as the new Showrunner of the CW series, and current showrunner Marc Guggenheim, along with Co-showrunner Wendy Mericle, have stepped down.
Schwartz is known for her involvement in Legends of Tomorrow and was a writer's assistant back on the first season of Arrow. Marc Guggenheim will be transitioning into an executive consultant role for season 7. Guggenheim will also be retracting himself from the other series he's been co-showrunning. Current co-showrunner of Legends of Tomorrow, Phil Klemmer, will step up as show-runner for season 4.
Beth is a true leader and a captivating storyteller, and we all can't wait for the audience to see what she and her team dream up as they take Arrow into its next big chapter.
Arrow fans have often complained that they aren't happy with the way Guggenheim has been handling the show, so what do you think? Do you reckon that Beth Schwartz can give Arrow the much-needed change that fans have been requesting?
