With the low ratings in the show's previous seasons, there have been rumors that "Arrow" Season 6 might not be happening at all. However, the executive producers have already confirmed "Arrow" Season 6, and it has been surprisingly received with mixed reactions from both the cast and the fans.
No More Stephen Amell?
While "Arrow" Season 6 is already confirmed, there has reportedly been some conflicts between the producers and Stephen Amell, the show star who plays the titular role. Reports say that the disagreements were caused by creative contrasts and differences.
While there have been significant rise in ratings from the fourth to the fifth season of "Arrow," it has been reported that Stephen Amell is hesitant about the sixth season. Some sources say that Amell is unhappy with how the plot of "Arrow" Season 6 is going to be handled.
In an interview, Stephen Amell expressed his puzzlement with where the story of "Arrow" Season 6 is actually going. The actor also said that he is now having second thoughts about his role on the show. With this, there have been rumors stating that the producers might actually replace Amell in "Arrow" Season 6.
No Fan Support?
According to some reports, fans of the show, along with Stephen Amell, wanted "Arrow" Season 5 to conclude the series. Some say that the storyline of the show had already been exhausted, and that "Arrow" Season 6 will just endanger the quality to further dwindle down.
This displeasure had been quite evident with the low ratings of "Arrow" Season 4, where fans claim that the show has already run out of good plots. It was still back in Season 3 when the show had good ratings, and has since gone down the drain. To make things worse, reports say that not a single episode of "Arrow" Season 5 has gained 2 million viewers. So, is "Arrow" Season 6 still happening?
With the imminent loss of interest for "Arrow" Season 6, it is interesting to see how the production team, along with the cast, handles the fans' expectations. After all, without Stephen Amell, the show would become something else.
