Arrow star Stephen Amell has seen an early look at the premiere of the show’s final season, and he has revealed a photo of Colin Donnell returning as Tommy Merlyn.
While Arrow won’t return until October 15, it appears as though the final premiere of Stephen Amell’s long-running DC show is pretty much finished. Earlier today, Stephen Amell took to Twitter to share a new look for Colin Donnell as Tommy Merlyn in the final season.
Colin Donnell has been largely absent from the series since the first season (aside from appearing in a vision in one episode of Arrow Season 7), but it looks as though his character has officially returned. You can see his new look below.

Arrow has had a good run, but it looks like the series will help lay the groundwork for The CW’s big adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths, which sounds like the most ambitious Arrowverse crossover by a long shot. With Colin Donnell returning, it seems as though the show is finally coming full circle as it nears its end.
Here is the official synopsis for the final season of Stephen Amell’s 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.
The series stars Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Echo Kellum, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Kirk Acevedo, Sea Shimooka and Katie Cassidy Rodgers.
Arrow season 8 premieres on October 15, 2019, on The CW. Stay tuned for the latest news on the Stephen Amell series!
