After impersonating
Black Canary in season 4 in an effort to exact revenge against H.I.V.E., Evelyn Crawford Sharp (this is actually the name of the DC Comics hero, Starling) is now looking to protect Star City as a key member of
Team Arrow 2.0.
The below TV spot recycles a lot of footage from the previously released season 5 trailer but gives us a few seconds of new footage, particularly the reveal that Sharp apparently still has Laurel's Canary Cry device that was invented by
The Flash's Cisco Ramon of S.T.A.R. Labs (the device was an improvement of Sara Lance's Canary Bombs, which were invented by the League of Assassins).
Madison McLaughlin reprises her role as Evelyn Sharp from the
Arrow season 4 episode, "Canary Cry."
Arrow season 5 premieres October 5 at 8/7c on The CW.
ARROW SEASON 5 SYNOPSIS: After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. Oliver returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), former police captain Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne) and brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum).
Newly appointed Mayor Oliver Queen finds himself challenged as he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City. With Diggle back in the military and Thea adamant about hanging up her hood as Speedy, Team Green Arrow is down to just Oliver and Felicity – but they’re no longer the only vigilantes in town. Green Arrow’s public defeat of Damien Darhk at the end of Season Four has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though their painful inexperience makes them obstacles, rather than allies, in the field. The arrival of a deadly new adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green Arrow.
