"Arrow" Season 5 might be on its last thread. The show is hitting its 100th episode, which will air on Wednesday, Nov. 30, and there are indications that a major character will die. "Arrow" star Stephen Amell also believes that his beloved series might not last past the fifth season. Is the show preparing to say goodbye?
"Arrow" executive producer Marc Guggenheim hints that there could be a major character death in the show's 100th episode. He said that this milestone episode is a lot like a "love letter" to the show's loyal viewers.
"It feels like the 100th issue of a comic book, perhaps even more so than the 100th episode of a television show," the executive producer told Entertainment Weekly. The people behind "Arrow" also know that they have had a chance to come full circle with "Arrow" Season 5.
The 100th episode of "Arrow" might be the start of the unraveling of the show's inevitable end. It's also the episode that forms part of a four-way crossover between "Supergirl," "The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow."

"Arrow" star Stephen Amell believes that the show reached a crossroads with the fourth season and the fifth season will be a deciding factor for its longevity. "We're either going to do what we do and do it well, or it's the last year," he said, according to Comic Book Resources. The actor also expressed frustration over the creative direction of "Arrow" Season 4 and admitted to making a lot of improvements in Season 5 by looking at the show's origins.
"Arrow" airs every Wednesdays on The CW. The show remains one of the network's highest rated series, along with its other DC Universe shows. The CW has not made any official announcements on the fate of the show though, so fans might have nothing to worry about cancellation just yet.
