The young adult network has five new TV shows inspired from comic books and novels perfect for their target audience. Also, most of the shows have actors who made a name in previous CW series and it will be a real treat to see them back on our television screen. Let’s check out what The CW has in store for us this fall.

Arrow

Since The Avengers was such a big hit this summer, Arrow will probably bank on that success. The synopsis is quite simple. A young billionaire goes missing on a shipwreck and, after five years, he comes back more mature and ready to fight the evil in the world. So he creates an alter ego – Green Arrow – whose power is to… shoot arrows very well. The show stars Stephen Amell as Green Arrow, Katie Cassidy (Gossip Girl) as his girlfriend and Paul Blackthrone as a police detective and her father.
