David Ramsey returns to the Arrowverse.
When Arrow debuted in 2012, it was hard to imagine that this street-level crime-fighting series would kickstart a shared universe of DC superhero shows. Soon after its premiere, Arrow spun off into a handful of series that included The Flash, Black Lightning, and Supergirl in its own universe dubbed the Arrowverse. However, since that popular series ended in 2020 after 8 seasons, the Arrowverse has been in a bit of an odd spot.
On top of that, Ramsey is attached to direct the pilot of the series and the actor has signed a directing deal that will see him direct multiple future episodes across the many Arrowverse shows. If that was not enough, Ramsey will also appear as a guest star in multiple episodes of different Arrowverse shows.
Ramsey’s Diggle has been an extremely popular character in the Arrowverse. Overall, this show sounds like a very interesting concept and Diggle is the type of mentor character that could make this kind of “training the next generation of superheroes” story work. Also, the angle of the heroes being undercover in college sounds right up The CW’s alley.
