Producer Andrew Kreisberg Sheds New Light On Plans For ARROW/THE FLASH Spinoff

There are still a lot of questions to be answered in regards to the planned Arrow/The Flash spinoff, particularly when it comes to how on Earth Caity Lotz's The Canary will be making a return despite being...well...dead! Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg wasn't willing to give too much away, but did promise that details on Sara's return and more are on the way. "I think by the Spring, you’ll know," he teased in an interview with Green Arrow TV. "We want to keep some surprises going, but we’re really excited about that series…. just to add another leg to the tripod, and complete it. We’ll get to see some of the characters that we’ve seen and introduce a whole bunch of new characters, and show them all in a different way, and have the show really feel different. As different as Flash feels from Arrow, this new show will feel different from both of them."

There's a lot of speculation about what the series will be called too, especially as it isn't quite clear whether it will focus on one specific character or a revolving door of heroes and villains on a week to week basis. However, it does sound like we'll get some sort of title sooner rather than later. "It’s still very early in the process on that. We had to make sure to get as much of the cast set as we could before we sat down to break this mega-series with all of these characters, rather than be do that and have people say they’re not interested." What do you guys think of these details?

I really don't know how to feel about this, it's like they're trying to milk all the characters from both universes. Keep it simple, arrow and Flash.

Sounds pretty amazing! I love the idea of a revolving cast in separate but connected stories. If done right it could be really original.

i love this, its like how you had batman the animated series and superman the animated series and that grew to the crossoever series worlds finest series and justice league animated series. and it gives them a good opportunity to bring widder characters like they did with firestorm and the atom. THis is the worlds finest and im keen to see where they take it

@Jollem Sucks that they aren't actually connected. Thankfully DC TV has been really ambitious.

I want to see....a show of substance! That would be awesome! No more childish popcorn fluff, thin plots, bad writing, stiff acting by actors lucky to have a job!!!

Flash is awesome and I love Arrow and the Ra's and the League of Assassins plot.

Keep expanding this Universe!

Hopefully Supergirl wi connect with these too!

Speaking directly from Brazil ...
I love the series "Arrow and The Flash" ... They are wonderful series and they are doing a great success not only in the United States , but around the world ...
I hope these derived series able to be as good as "Arrow and The Flash" are ...
Twisting enough for the "DC Multiverse Cinematic " una not only movies, but not in the same series timeline and reasoning , but una quality and loyalty with competence and love the fans and comics ...

So we're getting a Justice League movie, and now a Justice League TV show - Oh what a time it is for a DC fan to be alive!

Since he won't be a founding member of the Movies JL, I can realistically see Martian Manhunter working and getting his own show.

I think it's great! I can't wait. Arrow & Flash are some of the best stuff on TV. It'll be like an Avengers concept for a TV series. I hope arrow & Flash are regular characters on this new series or at least appear a lot.

so glad Caity is back!!!! i don't care that it's a spoiler, i think she did an outstanding job in Season 2 and fingers crossed they just go for it, call the show "Justice Society" and continue WB / DC's awesome success on TV

This could turn out really well or really bad. Certainly sounds interesting. wish it wasn't going to be on cw. It should run like a miniseries...8 episode to 13 episode arcs. Would serve it better. DC tv is more ambitious than dccu and I like that. For some reason, I don't think th is show will haooen. May be too ambitious for network tv. Why not cable?? A network budget doesn't sound right for a series of this magnitude. It shouldn't bee 22 episodes. idk, I have a bad feeling it won't happen

I hope that if they unite these characters for a team they don't call it the Justice League or Justice Society (I want a JSA show on HBO connected to the movies). They should come up with something more unique.

I have a feeling Sara will come back to life, like how Jason Todd did. I just hope with Atom being in this show that Hawkman will show up too.

WHO SAID WB HAS PLANS FOR MARTIAN MANHUNTER?!?!?!?!!

I'm with everyone else that says Martian Manhunter needs to be in this show. The version that was on Smallville was pretty good and I could see a better version being done today. So bring on J'onn J'onzz and hopefully his evil bro, Ma'alefa'ak J'onzz shows up too.

All they said at the PaleyFest panel about MM was that there were no plans at the moment...

By the way, funny how @Jollem is ever excited by everything DC but not by Marvel.
