Synopsis
There has been no shortage of close calls for Oliver Queen when it comes to protecting his super hero identity, but in the season six finale, he was finally backed into a corner and forced to reveal himself to the world as the Green Arrow. Now, Oliver will come face-to-face with many of the criminals he placed behind bars, as he makes a new home for himself at Slabside Maximum Security Prison. Oliver will find himself vulnerable in a way unlike ever before when a mysterious new enemy begins to unravel his work as Green Arrow, challenging him to redeem his name or risk losing everything.

Trivia

 * According to several cast members, there is a turnover which introduces several new writers in Season 7. But that is not the only major shakeup. On April 17, 2018, in addition to being promoted to executive producer, Beth Schwartz replaced Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle as the sole showrunner. Guggenheim remains as a consultant to Arrow along with another show he stepped down from, DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
 * This season airs on Mondays, originally at 9/8c before it was switched back to its original 8/7c time slot.
 * A few of the episode summaries have made mistakes concerning the events of that episode. For example, the episode description for “Crossing Lines” describes Felicity getting an intriguing offer and Curtis going undercover—neither of which actually happen in that episode (although Curtis does go undercover in “The Demon”). In the episode description for “The Demon” it says that Felicity learns something new about Oliver that shocks her which doesn’t happen in that episode.
 * Unlike the previous seasons who ran for 23 episodes each this is only set to run for 22 episodes.
