CW boss Mark Pedowitz said, "The fact that seven years ago, we introduced Arrow, who would have thought it would have spawned six shows, a whole universe that they managed to create. It's quite a remarkable feat. We believe these franchises, this universe will continue for many years, so it's important to ensure that you have characters that will keep the fans coming back. How that universe plays out, time will tell."
