While Arrow is no longer the CW show with the best ratings, the series continues to do well for the network. Could it possibly be cancelled or is it sure to be renewed for a sixth season? Stay tuned.
On Arrow, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was ship-wrecked on a remote island in the South China Sea and presumed dead for five years. He returned home a changed man, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice. Other characters in season five are played by Katie Cassidy, Willa Holland, David Ramsey, Paul Blackthorne, Emily Bett Rickards, Echo Kellum, Josh Segarra, John Barrowman, and Colton Haynes.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

For comparisons: The fourth season of Arrow averaged a 0.94 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.49 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night.

What do you think? Do you like the Arrow TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season?
I enjoy watching Arrow
Can’t wait for season 5 to come out for sale.
It definitely should continue, I was late to the series but now that I am all caught up.. I need more
I want this show to continue. I’m sure you’ll all figure something out. I love the show. DO A SEASON 6 PLEASE
I think Arrow should definitely do a Season 6…In my opinion, I don’t mind that Season 4 wasn’t as good as Season 1, 2 and 3 (I think Season 4 was still pretty good though). So far Season 5 has been really really good (and with unexpected twists, but still brilliant) … So what if viewer ratings have been lower than usual…If they decide to go ahead with Season 6, I will definitely watch it – even if it was to have the worst story line (which would never happen with this show) – I would still watch it because… Read more »
Arrow Season 6 if it goes ahead it should be done properly like season 1,2 and 3 were done nothing less if this is not the case then I’m afraid the show is doomed sadly !
Please don’t cancel I cant do without this show
CW should put more villains from ARROW comics then having one main villein their should be three main villains.
So back to business as usual for the ratings. I guess everyone tuned in to see Flash and Supergirl last week.
It’s such a shame that Arrow has become the Felicity show as the focus is more on HER team rather than on Stephen Amell who is supposed to be the main character ARROW! His story lines are weak, and he seems to be blundering around trying to understand what is going on. Unlike the first 3 series where we were introduced to this strong lone character who had come back “from the dead” where there was conflict and fighting with Slade Wilson & Ra’s al Ghul, the storyline got stupid with Damian Dark, and now Felicity who was more behind… Read more »
Felicity has a yuge fanbase. She is the Fonzie of Arrow. Sort of like how Richie was supposed to be the star of Happy Days, but people liked Fonzie more so the show became about him.
Difference being EVERYONE loved fonzi acrossed the board.. Felicity panders to a certain part of the fanbase. Her character has gone way off track.. This isn’t a show about a funny 50s sitcom.. It’s about the Green Arrow now unless they kill off Oliver and have her pick up the crossbow and suit up we’re still tuning in for Oliver’s story
The writing has gotten extremely lame, especially the new heroes. The show does not need that many!! It’s one of my fave shows, but this season was extremely disappointing.
I love Arrow!! This is literally my favorite show on television, and every season has been so unique. Ratings for Arrow have not changed that drastically. I think the storyline for this season is really getting interesting now. A season 6 might seem like a totally different show with all of Oliver’s five years of flashbacks/secrets being revealed. It’s honestly like the writers have written 200 hundred episodes/not just 100, with having a double storyline going in each episode with the flashbacks with present day storylines. I think it is time to move forward with season 6 and focus on… Read more »
Amazing numbers for the 100th episode.
Keep Arrow on the air, its literally the only thing I watch on Wednesday nights. I honestly like it more then Walking Dead, so that should tell The CW execs something.
No OTA, no heart and new heroes are kind of flops. Seriously, if the point was to go back to the season 1 and 2 type vibe why no focus on rebuilding the OTA.
That is exactly the problem with season 5. And from all the details coming out about the s2nd half of the season they are further distancing the core characters from each other. OTA has long been the best part of the show and there is no heart or depth this season – just a string of action scenes which the comic book fans seem to be loving. I don’t care about any of the new characters and I think they only introduced so many so that they could kill of some characters without losing any of the main characters(Kind of… Read more »
I loved this show, but the writers sure got lame last season. You don’t kill off one of the best characters and villains and loose all that great tension. There was more story there if the writers had better creativity. This season is pretty dull so far and the new additions to “Team Arrow” have nothing to offer that want me to care about them. This isn’t King of Thrones. Those surprises only work if you have another surprise story to take its place. Sorry, guys…but whoever thought killing off Black Canary and Darhk was smart? IT WAS SUCH A… Read more »
So far Arrow is so much better this season than last season. Hope people that gave up on Arrow last season start to come back.
