During his panel at Heroes & Villains FanFest, Stephen Amell was asked to play a game by fans in the audience: two truths and a lie regarding the upcoming sixth season of Arrow.

Amell, a self-proclaimed champion of such a game, took a moment to think about what details he can share about the new batch of episodes. “Two truths and one lie?” Amell said. “I’ve had the reputation of making these really good. If you wouldn’t mind bearing with me for one second, that would be great.”
The following three sentences are very intriguing for Arrow fans anxiously awaiting answers following the Season 5 cliffhanger.
“Oliver and Slade have a scene in the present day. Diggle fires and misses someone, as in he deploys his gun and it doesn’t work. Thea is in a present day scene where we speak to one another.”
Later in the same panel, Amell confirmed Deathstroke would be a part of Season 6 in real time as a common character with Manu Bennett returning for the role. This means the first statement is likely true. Diggle firing his gun and missing? Not unlikely, pointing to Thea having a present day scene with Amell’s Oliver Queen being a lie. But, will Arrow really kill Oliver’s sister or is Diggle’s aim going to improve?
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”.
