Team Arrow has a new Black Canary in Dinah Drake, and her romantic status will be getting an update in season 6, though not how you might assume.
After the character’s debut in season 5, Drake and Team Arrow stalwart John Diggle seemed to have intriguing chemistry. Arrow showrunner Wendy Mericle revealed to EW though that a different path is taking shape (via Heroic Hollywood).

“I would say yes for that, but I’m not going to tell you with who, because that’s a fun story we’re very excited about. Not Diggle. That’s what’s so much fun.”
Team Arrow’s going to look very different this season after the big finale to season 5, so it’s anyone’s guess as to who that love interest could be.
That’s not the only facet of Black Canary that is getting an update either, as Drake will also be getting a brand new costume. The look is a modern combination of the previous Black Canary outfits, and you can get a closer look at it here.
You can find the description for Arrow below.
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”.
