Tonight is the Season 3 finale of Arrow and things will never be the same in Starling City. Recently, Stephen Amell ( TMNT 2) teased that tonight’s episode is more like a series finale, despite the Season 4 renewal.
The official plot synopsis for the Season 3 finale of Arrow, titled “My Name is Oliver Queen,” reads:
“Season 3 ends with everyone in danger when Ra's al Ghul implements his final plan. Meanwhile, Oliver/Al Sah-him must decide if he is strong enough to take on his new role, and what it will mean for everyone on Team Arrow and on his own soul.”
Check out this clip from the all new episode for a sneak peek at what is in store:
Recently, Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about tonight’s finale, stateing:
“It gives you a very definitive end. It does feel like a series finale. At the same time, now that we're working on season four, there are plot threads and notions from the season finale that get pulled into season four. It really does function on both levels, much more so than previous season finales.
“We've never ended a season the way we're ending this season, where literally you are going, ‘How can the show go on?’ At the end of season one in the wake of Tommy's [Colin Donnell] death, there was a question of how can Oliver go on? But there was no question of how the show was going to be the show. Here, literally there is no more Arrow identity. There is no more lair. Relationships are fractured.
“All the things that sort of make the show the show are kind of gone. It's an interesting conundrum the finale poses, which is, "OK, that was a really satisfying ending, but I know there is a season four, so how is there going to be a season four?" It's a cliffhanger.”
Stephen Amell himself teased the Series Finale feel of the episode, tweeting:
Be sure to tune into the Season 3 finale of Arrow, tonight at 8:00 p.m. eastern on The CW.
