The penultimate episode of Arrow will serve as the backdoor pilot for the spinoff titled Green Arrow and the Canaries. Katherine McNamara will be starring as the daughter of Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak, and it seems like the character will have a slight name change.
The CW Network recently released the official synopsis for the spinoff episode. Green Arrow and the Canaries is set in the year 2040 at Star City. Now addressed as Mia Queen, she seems to be living a good life and already has everything "she could have ever wanted." Not until Laurel and Dinah show up unannounced.
In the Arrow spinoff, the Canaries will be tracking a kidnapping victim that has direct ties to Mia, hence asking her for help. You can check out the full synopsis below.
