Fans got a pleasant surprise towards the end of Arrow Season 5 when Deathstroke made an unexpected return. According to Stephen Amell, that won’t be the last fans see of him.

Amell is currently appearing at Heroes and Villains Fan Fest, where he was asked if about his longtime nemesis who ended up being an ally this season. Amell said, “Manu Bennett is back to being a part of the show, and we will see him several times”.
That’s great news for Season 6, which will see major changes in not only Oliver’s personal life but also Team Arrow. Granted fans don’t even yet know who is part of Team Arrow next season, as the explosion seen in the finale surely took some characters out of the running.
As for Deathstroke, actor Manu Bennet previously campaigned for a solo project, saying “Everybody who wants a #deathstrokeoriginalseries needs to rally @DCComics @WarnerBrosEnt @GBerlanti & @mguggenheim @netflix pic.twitter.com/R2FkeB7hRf”. Now that he’s back on Arrow, that will probably need to be put to the side for a bit.
You can find the description for the series below.
UP NEXT: Arrow Season 6 Begins Production
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”.
