For us it has been an experience of a lifetime. The support we have had from both Warner Bros Television and The CW has been incredible. We'd like to give special thanks to Jensen, Jared and Misha for making this journey so special. It is now most important to us to give these characters that we love the send off they deserve.”The news comes a couple of weeks after The CW announced that Arrow would end with a shortened Season 8 , comprised of 10 episodes.
