Arrowverse star Katie Cassidy 'confident' that The CW will pick up 'Green Arrow and the Canaries'
With The CW's 'Arrow' coming to an end, fans have eagerly been waiting to see whether its planned sequel series 'Green Arrow and the Canaries' will be picked up by the network. The show's future has become somewhat uncertain because of the coronavirus pandemic, but Arrowverse star Katie Cassidy has offered some hope for fans rooting for the series.
Set in 2040, 'Green Arrow and the Canaries' follows the adventures of Mia Queen aka Green Arrow (Katherine McNamara), the daughter of Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), alongside her father's old friends Laurel Lance aka Black Siren (Katie Cassidy) and Dinah Drake aka Black Canary (Juliana Harkavy). While there hasn't been any official announcement on the series' future, Cassidy has revealed that she's confident it will be picked up in an interview.
“I’m a very positive person, so I feel confident that we’ll go [to series],” Cassidy told TVLine. “If there was ever a time for a three-hander, all-female badass show, now is the time! So I’m not worried. I’m feeling pretty good about it."
“[Seeing] more of Black Siren and what her life was, and how she got there to 2040. Just more of her beating this path of heroes, of women, along with the Green Arrow and the other Canary,” Cassidy added. “I love playing a hero, I love playing a villain… I’m just excited to jump into it.”
Katherine McNamara had spoken about the show's future in an earlier interview revealing that she doesn't know whether it will happen or not.
"I have no idea," McNamara said. "I just asked the other day and because of the state of the world and everything that's going on everything has kind of changed. Upfronts have been canceled, nobody knows what's going on. We weren't supposed to know until May anyway and now at this point, who knows when decisions are going to be made."
"You know, obviously I had such a lovely time playing Mia," she added. "I'd love to be back, especially now that there are so many exciting things for her, taking on the mantle of Green Arrow and moving forward. They made me a really badass suit that I love so I'd love to wear it again, but we'll see. Time will tell."
