Fans of Olicity can apparently become their hopes upward again, as Arrow 'south producer is confirming that the relationship between Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak will continue to be mended in the bear witness'due south upcoming season 6.

Pointer's star-crossed romantic pairing finally came together at the end of the show's third season, only to exist torn apart by some melodramatic trust issues involving Oliver'due south son in the evidence's fourth flavour. The pair maintained their crimefighting partnership in season 5, but kept each other at arm's length for the majority of the run - though their romance seemed to exist on the verge of restarting by the cease of the season.

It seems equally if that was definitely intentional, and the testify will go on on that path. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Arrow producer Marc Guggenheim teased the romantic reunion of the pair in the upcoming sixth season.

"We put them on a very specific trajectory at the terminate of flavor v. It would be very schizophrenic for u.s.a. to suddenly take them off that trajectory."

While that would seem like good news for Olicity fans, Guggenheim hedges slightly, suggesting the reconciliation could notwithstanding take some fourth dimension:

"There is not a unmarried romantic osculation between whatsoever two characters in the season premiere."

Arrow's coming off something of a creative rebound, as flavor five reinvigorated the show with new allies like Wild Dog (Rick Gonzalez) and Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy), as well every bit a legitimately menacing villain in Josh Segarra's Adrian Chase. Season six promises to be a year of further change for the series, equally the five year flashback structure is no more, and Oliver will have to have a more agile office as a male parent to his son, William.

Still, the relationship between Oliver and Felicity still hangs over everything. While the testify's producers had originally conceived of a more than comics-accurate romance between Oliver and Laurel Lance, the chemistry between Oliver and Felicity became unavoidable by the end of the show'southward second season. The show leaned into that chemistry heavily in its third season, teasing a "will they/won't they" romance for the bulk of the year, before the pair finally got together at the end of that season. The heavy handed dissolution of their relationship midway through Arrow's fourth season pleased nobody, and it's a misstep the evidence has been trying to manage always since.

It seems like the show is finally poised to overcome some of its more melodramatic impulses - and give Arrow fans non only the pairing that they want, but the one that makes the nearly sense.
