"Arrow": Interview With Showrunner Wendy Mericle10 of 10
“Arrow” is the darkest series among The CW’s DC shows. How would you rate this season on a scale of one to ten of bleakness?
It’s pretty bleak! We’re going back to bleak, I think. The fun thing is that we’ll still have these new recruits in the bunker, and they’re younger and they’ll just have a different dynamic. So we’ll get something out of there. Oliver will still crack the occasional joke for sure. But in terms of where the city is at and the stakes, we’re going bleak. We’re going dark.
