Another character from Arrow will appear in The CW’s Green Arrow and the Canaries backdoor pilot.

While Stephen Amell’s Arrow is coming to an end after this season, The CW is already developing new DC shows for their network. The two that are confirmed to be in development so far include Superman and Lois and Green Arrow and the Canaries. The Arrow spin-off will have a backdoor pilot in the penultimate episode of the final season. It is already known that the Green Arrow and the Canaries pilot will star Katie Cassidy, Juliana Harkavy, and Katherine McNamara.

TV Line is now reporting that Charlie Barnett’s John Diggle Jr./Deathstroke will also be appearing in the Green Arrow and the Canaries backdoor pilot. Charlie Barnett currently has a recurring role in Arrow‘s final season.

Here is the official synopsis for the final season of Arrow:

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, Oliver successfully saved his city with the help of his team including former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer-science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), former protégé Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), street-savvy Rene Ramirez (Rick Gonzalez), metahuman Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy), brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum) and Earth-2 Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy). In the wake of discovering what his future holds, Oliver will find himself pit against his most challenging battle yet, one that will leave the multiverse hanging in the balance. In Arrow’s final season, Oliver Queen is forced to confront the reality of what it means to be a hero.

Arrow stars Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Echo Kellum, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Kirk Acevedo, Sea Shimooka, and Katie Cassidy Rodgers.
