It is now official, The CW has picked up Arrow and will be allowing the show to be shown on its network for an hour long each week.
Based off of DC Comic's bow and arrow wielding hero, Oliver Queen, a.k.a. The Green Arrow, Arrow will focus around Queen becoming the Green Arrow after being thought to be dead during a shipwreck but in reality he has been stuck on an island for five years. Here is the full and official description of the show:
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy
Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being
discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home
to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea,
and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been
changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about
the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions
he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation
with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with
those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a
vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of
society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver
plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used
to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while
carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of
darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is
determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile,
Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck
than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.
Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, and Andrew Kreisberg will be working as the writers for the show while working with Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen), Colin Donnell (Tommy Merlyn), Katie Cassidy (Laurel Lance), David Ramsey (John Diggle), Willa Holland (Thea Queen), Susanna Thompson (Moira Queen) and Paul Blackthorne (Detective Quentin Lance).
