Earlier today, Arrow star Stephen Amell revealed that the show will end after an abbreviated, ten-episode run next season.

Shortly thereafter, Amell elaborated on the reasons for the show ending in a heartfelt video posted to Facebook, and now the various actors who made up "New Team Arrow" have tweeted responses as well.

For those not quite caught up, "New Team Arrow" refers to the group of characters brought in to revitalize the team in season five, after Oliver, Felicity, and Diggle briefly broke up Original Team Arrow. Also fleetingly known as the Outsiders (presumably before they realized there was a Black Lightning series coming that was going to want that name), NTA included Wild Dog (Rick Gonzalez), Mr. Terrific (Echo Kellum), Dinah Lance (Juliana Harkavy), Artemis (Madison McLaughlin), and Ragman (Joe Dinicol).

The group worked with Oliver throughout season five (except Artemis, who turned out to be a spy for Prometheus), but splintered into their own unit in season six after having a disagreement with the way Oliver ran things. Unlike OTA, the "new" team ran by consensus with no hierarchy, until it was disbanded when they rejoined Team Arrow to help them battle Ricardo Diaz.

While Dinicol, who has not been on the series in quite some time and does not tweet regularly, has not yet had a social media reaction to the series' end, the rest of NTA had something to say about it...

While not technically a member of Team Arrow, brand-new season seven cast member Katherine McNamara, who plays Olicity Baby Mia Smoak, chimed in as well...

...and so did Beth Schwartz, who has been around basically since the beginning but who became the series' showrunner this season.

Arrow airs on Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT, before episodes of Black Lightning on The CW.
