Any Arrow fans missing Katie Cassidy will be pleased to hear that the actress is set for a return to The CW’s DC show as a series regular for season six, after appearing in the final two episodes of the current fifth season. However, the producers won’t be resurrecting the Black Canary (again), as Cassidy will be portraying Earth-2’s Black Siren.
“One of the things that most excites us about Arrow is that we go where the story takes us,” said executive producer Marc Guggenheim. “Last year, the story took us to the tragic death of Laurel Lance. This year, our midseason finale reintroduced us to Laurel’s doppelgänger, Black Siren. We were so taken by Katie’s fearless interpretation of this character that we knew her story was not yet finished. We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Katie back to Arrow as Black Siren, though as her appearances on Arrow and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow this season show, she never really left the family.”
