Before Arrow bowed out, it set in motion plans for a spin-off that would both carry on its legacy and take the Arrowverse into uncharted territory. That spin-off came in the form of a backdoor pilot titled 'Green Arrow and The Canaries' in which Laurel Lance and Dinah Drake sought out Oliver Queen's daughter and reminded her what her life was like before Crisis On Infinite Earths, setting up a new intoxicating dynamic as the three heroes battle a rising new threat in Star City 2040.

The potential series would star long-time Arrowverse vet Katie Cassidy and regulars Juliana Harkavy and Katherine McNamara in leading roles and after drawing season-high viewing figures for Arrow's final season and receiving praise from critics, it seems like a shoo-in for The CW's 2021 - 2022 line-up.

The network's delay in giving the show the green light has frustrated fans but it is believed to be influenced by the ongoing global situation. And the confirmation that it was still 'very much alive' back in the summer suggests the Arrowverse offshoot will still make its way onto screens at some point.
