“Arrow” Season 6 will return in October, and Stephen Amell talked about what’s coming for his titular role. The 36-year-old actor pointed out how he made sure that Oliver Queen learned his lessons with what happened in the past.
While Oliver Queen may be victorious in some aspect, he already witnessed several losses in Season 5. Aside from this, he experienced extreme sufferings as he continues to experience threats within Starling City, his circle of friends and family. Now, Amell promised to showcase an impact from his character as they move forward to the next season.
Season 6: Oliver Queen’s life lessons
According to Screen Rant, the upcoming season may immediately address the events of Season 5 finale. It is when Lian Yu Island exploded, and team Arrow was still on it. Apart from Oliver’s friends, the mother of his son, William, was also there.
There are no definite details about the upcoming season’s focus, as well as the casualties of the said incident. However, ripple effects are expected to happen as the series moves forward, and Amell wanted his role to display a character who learned lessons from these horrible events.
Stephen Amell attended FanExpo Canada recently and talked about Season 6 storylines. The actor revealed that he would usually put his self in the viewers’ shoes.
This is to find out the things they wanted to see more from the series.
Two important aspects of his character development were teased last season: First is Oliver Queen’s journey as a father and second is his romantic relationship with Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). “The thing I ask myself whenever I’m reading a script this year and it comes down to an Oliver-based issue is, ‘is he handling this like someone who has learned lessons along the way?”
What’s next in ‘Arrow’
The story of Green Arrow has been on the air for five seasons.
Of course, nothing can make the series more interesting than to cast the right characters and how the storyline develops. It seems like Season 6 will focus on the core characters as Diggle (David Ramsey) is set to have an eventful season when the series returns. As for the Olicity romance, EP Marc Guggenheim hints a possible follow-up for the pair.
Furthermore, our previous report revealed the addition of Michael Emerson. He was potentially known for starring as Ben Linus in another shipwrecked series entitled “Lost.” As per the report, the veteran actor is expected to play a familiar role from the past. That is one thing fans have to look forward in “Arrow” Season 6.
