Production
Development
On 24 October 2019, Arrow co-creator and season eight co-showrunner Marc Guggenheim revealed the title of the series finale to be "Fadeout". The episode, which is the eighth season's tenth and the series' 170th overall, was written by him and co-showrunner Beth Schwartz, and directed by James Bamford.[2][3]
Writing
In an August 2019 interview with TVLine, Guggenheim said he "came out of meditation one morning", at which point he had the episode's final scene ready.[4] On 25 October, he posted a picture to explain the meaning of the episode's title; in the picture, the "fadeout" is a part of a longbow.[5] According to series star Stephen Amell and fellow actor David Ramsey, they both got the ending they wanted for their respective characters.[6]
Casting
Main cast members Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Katherine McNamara and Katie Cassidy appear as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow, John Diggle / Spartan,[6] Rene Ramirez / Wild Dog, Dinah Drake / Black Canary,[7] Mia Smoak,[8] and Laurel Lance respectively.[9] Former series regulars Willa Holland, Emily Bett Rickards, Colton Haynes, Echo Kellum, Paul Blackthorne, Susanna Thompson and Sea Shimooka will guest star as Thea Queen,[10] Felicity Smoak,[11] Roy Harper / Arsenal, Curtis Holt, Quentin Lance,[10] Moira Queen and Emiko Queen respectively.[7] The episode marks Rickards' return to the series after she chose step away at the end of the seventh season.[11] McNamara said that having Felicity return for the series finale was "so critical" for the storyline, elaborating, "It made even the social aspect of wrapping the show mean so much more because she is so much of what Arrow is and I love Emily to death."[12] Additional guest stars include Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Caity Lotz as Sara Lance,[13] Audrey Marie Anderson as Lyla Michaels,[7] Joe Dinicol as Rory Regan,[10] and David Nykl as Anatoly Knyazev.[14] Jack Moore co-stars as William Clayton.[13]
Filming
Preparation for the episode began on 22 October,[3] and ran until 30 October.[2] Filming began on 31 October,[15] and ended on 13 November.[2][16] Amell said the episode would feature an action sequence which he described as "the action sequence to end all action sequences". He added that "every stunt guy, more or less who has ever worked on the show, even guys that retired or are coordinating on Supergirl or Flash or Legends, everybody came out. Everybody sold out in terms of what is happening."[17]
Broadcast
The episode is scheduled to premiere in the United States on The CW on 28 January 2020.[18][19]
