Arrow has added Katherine McNamara as a series regular ahead of its 8th and final season. McNamara played Mia Smoak, the future daughter of Oliver and Felicity Queen, in the 7th season.
After the upgrade her co-star Jospeh David-Jones , who plays future Connor Hawke, it comes as no surprise. Connor Hawke is the son of Bronze Tiger who is adopted by John and Lyla Diggle.

The title is Starling City. We all know that Starling City was renamed to Star City. So I am wondering if the title is a throwback or a throw off. Will we see a new Starling City or will it be a trip down memory lane.
The official logline for Arrow’s final season is:
“in the wake of discovering what his future holds, will find himself pit against his most challenging battle yet, one that will leave the multiverse hanging in the balance. In Arrow’s final season, Oliver Queen is forced to confront the reality of what it means to be a hero.”
Arrowverse casting news
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is currently looking for an actor that is a cross between Captain Jack Sparrow and a Russian accented Russell Brand. I am kind of hoping that they will cast Russel Brand. If they can afford him.
More good news about DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is that Matt Ryan will continue to portray occultist Constantine. I am a big fan of the original Constantine show and comics. So I am hoping that he will be there until the show is over.
The Flash’ Iris West is hiring, casting directors are looking for a reporter to work for or with West at her newspaper, The Central City Citizen. They are looking for a Latin reporter. Any takers? Feel free to set yourself up for an audition.
More Flash news as Danielle Panabaker, who plays Caitlin Snow a.k.a. Killer Frost, revealed her new costume with the funny caption “When you show up to the first day of school in your brand new outfit.”
Crisis on Infinite Earths
The big story arc to look forward to this year is Crisis on Infinite Earths. All the Arrowverse TV shows are currently participating. This includes, Arrow, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and Batwoman.
I kind of hoped that Black Lightning would be a part of it too. Which would mean that ALL TV shows would be one big universe. Seeing as Crisis on Infinite Earths back in the 1980s connected or killed off realities. I am kind of hoping to see the world of Smallville with the original actors like Michael Rosenbaum, Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk. I would say Allison Mack too but she was recently jailed for running a sex cult.
Other TV show worlds I would love to see are Lois and Clark: The Adventures of Superman with Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher. The Flash 1990 with John Wesley Shipp. But also the cartoon universe of Batman: The Animated Series and The Justice League. A guy can dream right?
Arrowverse at SDCC
It was recently announced that all of the Arrowverse shows are going to be at the San Diego Comic Con 2019.
I am looking forward to seeing that panel and I hope that we will get to see the season trailer and some bits and pieces of Crisis on Infinite Earths.
