The CW's show 'Arrow' has had many flashbacks over time and this has been an important part of the storytelling for the show. However, in the season 7 premiere, the show surprised us by taking us into the future. According to ComicBook, Beth Schwartz, the writer of the show, says that these flash forwards are going to be an essential part of the series going forward. 

Last episode, 'Arrow' fans saw Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and the rest of the Team Arrow handling the season 6 finale fallout, specially Oliver being locked up while Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) is out on the loose with Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and William (Jack Moore) as his targets.
