It's a sad and historic day for The CW's Arrowverse fans with 'Arrow' finally coming to an end after eight beautiful seasons. The ending of the show that spawned a multiverse is easily one of the biggest moments for the network and for all the people who invested themselves in the show as fans, cast and crew. 

Ahead of the finale airing, a number of Arrowverse stars took to social media to post about the historic moment.

"Congrats to the entire cast and crew of Arrow on a remarkable run," 'The Flash' star Grant Gustin wrote in the caption for an Instagram post showing the whole cast and crew of the show. "It takes an army to make a show like Arrow. Thank you for letting me be a part of it and for always making me feel so welcome. I hope we have the opportunity to cross paths again."

Paul Blackthorne, who plays Quentin Lance on 'Arrow', took to Twitter writing, "If there’s one person that deserves a shit ton of credit for getting a show through eight seasons of production, it’s @stephenamell Well done that man. Bit of a legend really."

Katherine McNamara, who plays Mia Smoak on the show and in its planned spin-off 'Green Arrow & the Canaries', tweeted, "The man. The myth. The legend. The hero. The legacy. The joy. The loss. The failures. The victories. The love. The heart. Thank you @cw_arrow. Thank you @stephenamell. Thank you Oliver Queen for letting me be a part of your story. Tonight’s the night."

"Bittersweet 💚 As our last episode of Arrow airs tonight, I want to thank each and every one of you that has followed us along on this journey," Katie Cassidy (Laurel Lance/Black Siren) wrote on Twitter. "It’s crazy to think how far we’ve all come in 8 years. Love you guys all SO MUCH!!!"

Caity Lotz, who played Laurel's sister Sara Lance / White Canary on both 'Arrow' and its spin-off show 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow', took to Instagram to post a series of clips from the show's history, writing in the caption, "Don’t mind me while I take a trip down memory lane....So many amazing moments I got to experience on #Arrow. Thank you to @gberlanti @marcguggenheim @ketomizu @schwartzapproved and all the other writers for writing such a complex and deep character for me to play. And to @stephenamell @katiecassidy @paulblackthorne and all the other amazing actors I got to fight, play, or make out with. Arrow has been such a huge chapter in my life. I hope I can continue to honor this character I love so much."

And finally, the man himself. Stephen Amell, the man who played the star of the show Oliver Queen / Green Arrow over eight long seasons, took to Twitter to share his final goodbye.

"Today’s bittersweet," he wrote. "Arrow meant so much to me for so many years. It was a transformative journey... but it was time to let it go. I lace my boots and don the hood one last time tonight. I’ll forever cherish being an ambassador for Oliver Queen. Thank you for the honor."

The 'Arrow' series finale airs exclusively on The CW on January 28.
