Katie Cassidy Rodger has played a significant role on Arrow ever since the first season, and now the actress has earned another key role in the production of the final season.
While speaking with Entertainment Weekly’s Chancellor Agard, Rodgers confirmed that she will indeed be stepping into the director’s chair to helm an episode of the upcoming eighth season, joining the likes of fellow Arrowverse stars Melissa Benoist and Caity Lotz who will also be stepping behind the camera.
“Throughout the years I always have wanted to, and I just started shadowing more and shadowing more, and I recently did the Warner Bros. directors’ program, which was incredible,” Rodgers explained. “It’s going to be fun. I can’t wait to direct all you!”
There’s currently no info available on the episode she will be directing, but Rodgers is not the first Arrow actor to take the helm of an episode, as David Ramsey directed an episode of the previous season.
The final season of Arrow is scheduled to premiere October 15, 2019 and will see stars Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy Rodgers, David Ramsey, Juliana Harkavy, and Rick Gonzalez return to reprise their respective roles.
