Katherine McNamara Will Be Series Regular on Arrow's Final Season

It’s official – Mia Smoak will be a bigger part of Arrow‘s final season, Deadline reports.

Katherine McNamara was just upped to series regular status for the final episodes, opposite on-screen dad Stephen Amell.

The 23-year-old star appeared in 10 episodes in the previous season, where her character’s identity was a major plot point.

Stephen just took to his Instagram, revealing that the show is starting to film this week.

“One last time,” he captioned the pic of the slate to kick off shooting.

Arrow will return in October on The CW.
