In a week where TV series are getting renewed and canceled at a rapid-fire pace, The CW has bolstered its prime time lineup by picking up Arrow as a series, according to Comic Book Resources. The show will reimagine the classic DC Comics character, The Green Arrow, in the typical hour-long drama format of most CW shows. Starring Stephen Atwell as the titular hero, the show was created by Green Lantern screenwriters Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, and former Green Arrow and Black Canary comic book writer Andrew Kreisberg. Check out the official description of the show below:

The pilot episode was directed by David Nutter (Game of Thrones) and is based off a teleplay by Kreisberg and Guggenheim and a story by Berlanti and Guggenheim. There is a surprising amount of quality TV and comic book talent behind this show, and as long as it stays true to the character and doesn't go completely off the rails like Smallville did in its final years, Arrow has the potential to be the rare live-action comic adaptation that actually works.
