Arrow Season 3 Spoilers: Producers Preview New Episodes

The CW's Arrow returns with new episodes for Season 3 on Wednesday, January 21, and fans are excited to learn what happened to Oliver after his duel with Ra's Al Ghul.

TVLine has some scoop on the new episodes directly from producers Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg:

"The three episodes following Oliver's seeming death "are among the best we've ever done. They're incredibly compelling,' EP Marc Guggenheim promises. The fallout at home not only 'makes it necessary' for Laurel to don the Canary costume, but also brings together characters that previously haven't shared a lot of screentime. 'There's a lot of Thea and Felicity,' and '[Felicity will] have some pretty big moments with Laurel as well.' Diggle gets 'emotional' in the first hour back, shares David Ramsey, who also hints that the H.I.V.E. storyline will be revisited. Viewers also haven't seen the last of another elite group. 'We're definitely going to bring back the Suicide Squad,' EP Andrew Kreisberg confirms. And though Sara's killer has been unmasked, Sin will play 'a pivotal part' in that storyline in Episode 12, while Sara (Caity Lotz) and Vertigo (Peter Stormare) both appear in Episode 13. Not to be outdone, big bad Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett) returns the following week."
