Arrow Showrunner Teases Fallout From Its Fiery Season 5 Finale

Who died at the end of Arrow's fifth season?

Well, if that's all you're thinking about, executive producer Marc Guggenheim says you're missing out on some other questions that bear asking.

"A lot of the discussion that we've had and a lot of the discussion we've seen online is very binary — people either live or they'll die," executive producer Marc Guggenheim told EW's Superhero Insider. "There are other consequences that can come out of what happened at the end of [episode] 523. While everyone is focused on one thing, you know us on Arrow, we may be doing something else."

That's an interesting note; most fans have speculated that few, if any, of the characters teased dead would actually have died...but apparently those who survived won't just be "fine."

After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. He returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs done by his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), Deputy Mayor Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum), and his new recruits, street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez) and meta-human Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy).

Oliver has finally solidified and strengthened his crime-fighting team only to have it threatened when unexpected enemies from his past return to Star City, forcing Oliver to rethink his relationship with each member of his "family".

Based on the characters from DC, ARROW is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros.
