Schwartz, who also worked on Legends of Tomorrow and Hart of Dixie, thanked fans on social media for their support after the announcement. Schwartz took over as Arrow's showrunner at the start of the current season, the seventh, which "renewed" the series by introducing new characters and new ideas. She will continue to carry out the same task also in the ten episodes of the final season, broadcast in autumn, and then who knows. Maybe she could take care of Batwoman, should it be ordered in series - only the pilot is safe for now.
