The CW developing a female-centric Arrow spinoff starring Katherine McNamara

Entertainment Weekly

Arrow may be ending after eight seasons, but The CW is working on plans for some of its characters to live on. The potential spinoff would be introduced in a backdoor pilot in Arrow's final season, featuring McNamara as Oliver Queen's daughter Mia Smoak/Green Arrow, and Katie Cassidy (Laurel Lance) and Juliana Harkavy (Dinah Drake) as the Canaries. No further details were revealed. But as EW's Chancellor Agard notes, "given the cast list, it wouldn’t be surprising if it turned out the follow-up series took place in Arrow‘s future. See in season 7, Arrow introduced flash-forwards that explored what happened to Star City 20 years in the future and were centered on Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Felicity’s (Emily Bett Rickards) now-grown up daughter Mia, as well as Dinah, Diggle and Lyla’s adopted son Conor, and a few others that eventually made up Future Team Arrow. In fact, fans have suspected that The CW has been prepping some kind of future-set Arrow series around McNamara’s character since her identity was confirmed."
