Where can I watch Arrow online in the UK legally?

David Farnor | On 19, Oct 2018

With autumn upon us, the question for Oliver Queen fans is the same every year: when does Arrow return to UK TV and how can I watch it online legally?

The good news is that it isn’t long to wait until DC’s superhero series returns to Sky One for Season 7.

For the uninitiated, the show stars Stephen Amell as billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who, after a shipwreck, was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. He returned home to Starling City, welcomed by his devoted mother Moira (Susanna Thompson), beloved sister Thea (Willa Holland) and former flame Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy). With the aid of his trusted chauffeur/bodyguard John Diggle (David Ramsey), the computer-hacking skills of Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) and the occasional, reluctant assistance of former police detective, now beat cop, Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), Oliver has been waging a one-man war on crime ever since.

Since then, Arrow has boasted an impressive line-up of guest and recurring stars, particularly villains, including Manu Bennett as Slade Wilson / Deathstroke, John Barrowman as Malcolm Merlyn / Dark Archer, Echo Kellum as Curtis Holt / Mister Terrific, Rick Gonzalez as Rene Ramirez / Wild Dog, Josh Segarra as Adrian Chase, Juliana Harkavy as Dinah Drake / Black Canary and Kirk Acevedo as Ricardo Diaz / Dragon.

Over the years, that has led to spin-off series featuring other superheroes, including an animated series Vixen, live-action adventure romp Legends of Tomorrow and The Flash. Combined with DC’s Supergirl, the result is the Arrowverse, a shared universe that has seen crossover events take place, mostly notable in 2017 in Crisis on Earth-X. Season 7’s crossover will see The Flash, Supergirl and Arrow head to Gotham City, where they encounter Batwoman.

Back at home, meanwhile, Oliver looks more vulnerable than ever, as Dragon becomes a series regular for Season 7. You can watch what happens from Tuesday 23rd October, when Arrow Season 7 airs at 8pm on Sky One. Don’t have Sky? You can watch it live and on-demand legally online through NOW.
