Back in 2020, it was reported that David Ramsay was set to reprise the role of Arrow's John Diggle for a new CW series set in the ArrowVerse. Details were few and far between and we haven't heard much about the project since, but Deadline has finally shared an update.
According to the trade, Ramsay will star in a show called Justice U, which will see Green Arrow's former friend and teammate lead a new group of heroes.
The logline tells us that "Diggle embarks on a new mission to recruit five young meta humans to live undercover as freshmen at a prestigious university. There he will oversee their education and train them to become the heroes of tomorrow."
The Arrow series finale strongly hinted that Diggle would eventually suit-up as the CWVerse's take on Green Lantern, and may even be revealed to be DC Comics' John Stewart. Whether that comes to pass during Justice U remains to be seen.
The show will be exec-produced by Superman & Louis' Michael Narducci, along with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, David Madden and Geoff Johns. Ramsay, who is set to direct episodes of several other DCTV shows, will also helm the pilot.
