Telly’s Take
Will The CW cancel or renew Arrow for season eight? The ratings are down once again but it’s the cornerstone of the network’s DC programming franchise. I don’t see it getting cancelled this year and would expect it to get a newsworthy “final season renewal” (whatever season that may be), rather than just peter out.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Arrow TV show has been renewed for an eighth and final season? How would you feel if The CW had cancelled this TV series, instead?

Finally!!! What a sht show that never respect the source material!!! It should end long time ago~~~!!!
Will i think they should cancel Arrow because i rather there be a superman series or some other type of show and series..
I’ve watched every episode many times. I’m a little disappointed this season, but we’re only half way. Need more action. It’s gotten a little toned down. Sorry to see Curtis go. If Arrow was to end they need season 8 to tie up lose ends. Maybe if Batwoman starts this year it will give everything a boost.
I was praying for season 8. Glad they renewed it once again. Best cape show ever.
