Arrow is an American television series developed by writer/producers Greg Berlan


ti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg. It is based on the DC Comics characte
r Green Arrow, a costumed crime-fighter created by Mort Weisinger and George Pap
p. It premiered in North America on The CW on October 10, 2012, with internation
al broadcasting taking place in late 2012. Primarily filmed in Vancouver, Britis
h Columbia, Canada, the series follows billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, portray
ed by Stephen Amell, who, five years after being stranded on a hostile island, r
eturns home to fight crime and corruption as a secret vigilante whose weapon of
choice is a bow and arrow. Unlike in the comic books, Queen does not initially g
o by the alias "Green Arrow".
The series takes a realistic look at the Green Arrow character, as well as other
characters from the DC Comics universe. Although Oliver Queen/Green Arrow had b
een featured in the television series Smallville from 2006 to 2011, the producer
s decided to start clean and find a new actor (Amell) to portray the character.
Arrow focuses on the humanity of Oliver Queen, and how he was changed by time sp
ent shipwrecked on an island. Most episodes have flashback scenes to the five ye
ars in which Oliver was missing.
Arrow has received generally positive reviews from critics, and was the CW's hig
hest-rated new series in five years. The series averaged about 3.68 million view
ers over the course of the first season, and has received three awards and multi
ple nominations. To promote it, a preview comic book was released before the tel
evision series began, while webisodes featuring a product tie-in with Bose were
developed for the second season. The first and second seasons are available on D
VD and Blu-ray in regions 1, 2 and 4; a soundtrack was also released for the fir
st two seasons. The third season premiered on October 8, 2014,[2] with a spin-of
f series set in the same universe, titled The Flash, airing on October 7, 2014.[
