It will still be a long wait for Arrow Season 8. However, the synopsis for the final season hints at Oliver Queen having to deal with a major battle and his own fate.
Fans were understandably devastated when The CW announced that the eighth season of Arrow would be the last one for Oliver Queen. But how exactly is Oliver's story going to close out? The synopsis for Season 8 certainly has an ominous tone.
Here's the synopsis for Arrow Season 8:
"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."
It's certainly been a long journey for Oliver but the Season 7 finale somehow revealed his fate. In You Have Saved This City, flashforward scenes confirmed that the younger generation will be in charge of protecting Star City. The episode even concluded with Felicity visiting her husband's grave.
So we know that Oliver will end up dead soon but what happens before that? We'll have to wait for Arrow Season 8 to find out.
Arrow Season 8 will air on The CW this fall.
