The CW has scrapped plans for the spin-off series “Green Arrow and the Canaries” which would’ve seen characters from “Arrow” continue on.
The penultimate episode of the final season of “Arrow” served as a backdoor pilot for the spin-off which saw Laurel Lance arrive in the year 2040 to recruit fellow Canary Dinah Drake and new Green Arrow Mia Smoak to fend off a threat to the timeline.
Secretly, Laurel’s mission also involved keeping Mia from facilitating her city’s ruin, as foretold by future headlines. Katherine McNamara, Katie Cassidy and Juliana Harkavy starred as the three leads.
News of the scrapping comes nearly a full year after the backdoor pilot aired. The CW is also working on a prequel spinoff to “The 100” with that project said to be still under consideration.
