Arrow Casts A New Series Regular For Season 5

Echo Kellum’s Curtis Holt isn’t the only new series regular for Arrow Season 5 — and, it turns out that Wild Dog isn’t the show’s only new vigilante for the new season.

Deadline is reporting that Josh Segarra (Chicago P.D.) has joined the cast of Arrow for Season 5 as Adrian Chase, the new District Attorney under Mayor Oliver Queen. Fans of DC Comics will recognize the name “Adrian Chase” as being the alter ego of the DC vigilante known as Vigilante, who starred in his own comic book series in the past and first appeared in The New Teen Titans comics. Also interesting to note is that the Vigilante has often had story connections to Deathstroke. In the comics, Chase’s family was killed by mobsters which led him to finding his own way of vigilante justice.

Arrow Season 5 premieres this Fall on The CW. No premiere date has been announced yet, but usually the show has started in the second week of October. And now, with two vigilantes joining the show, one is going to be good and the other bad, right? We’re calling it now, at least… let’s see if we’re right.
