The littlest network is still keen on Oliver Queen. The CW has renewed its Arrow TV show for a seventh season. Despite some natural decline in the Nielsens over the years, the superhero series — which also spawned The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow — is still hitting the bullseye.

A CW live-action adaptation of DC’s Green Arrow comics, Arrow stars Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Willa Holland, Paul Blackthorne, Echo Kellum, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, and Katie Cassidy. The story centers on billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Amell). After surviving a shipwreck, Oliver returns home a changed man. Now, disguised as the Green Arrow, he’s back in Star City to battle injustice and atone for his his family’s wrongs.
