The executive producer of Arrow, Andrew Kreisberg, has provided some information and many more rumors about Season 3 of the hit CW show. During an interview, Kreisberg answered many questions that fans had been wondering about, especially about Oliver and Felicity’s relationship. Kreisberg mentioned that Oliver and Felicity will go on a date, but the result may not be what we want.
“When you see the premiere and you see how things shake out, you’ll come to a very sympathetic understanding of both of their positions,” Kreisberg said. “The premiere last year was a microcosm of what was happening for the whole year. In the same way that the premiere of last season was really about Oliver struggling with whether or not he should be the Arrow, in this season premiere it’s, “Can I have everything I want?” That quest is going to take up his entire year, and hers.”
Kreisberg also hinted at Laurel’s journey to becoming a hero, Sara’s role in the season, and Tommy’s return via flashbacks. Most importantly, Kreisberg gave a very intriguing hint about Thea’s future in Season 3.
“We always say that if you’re ever going to become who you are in the comics, you have to go to the island. Oliver literally went to the island. We always said last year was Roy’s trip to the island. This season is about Thea’s trip to her version of the island.”
Arrow premiers October 8 on the CW.
