TV News: Summer Glau to join ARROW. Cancellation Imminent?

If you’re a fan of ARROW then be prepared for the second season possibly being its last, for Summer Glau has been cast in a recurring role.

According to THR Glau will portray the "enigmatically beautiful" and "dangerous" Isabel Rochev, and her character will be slightly different to that of her comic counterpart. In ARROW Rochev is the VP of Acquisitions at Stellmoor International, a company with its eye on acquiring Queen Consolidated. It’s unknown if her backstory will include her having once been a slave such as she was in the DC comics universe.

ARROW — which began production earlier this week — has already introduced a slew of DC Comics characters, including Deadshot (Michael Rowe), China White (Kelly Hu), Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) and Deathstroke/Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett). And now the FIREFLY and TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES star is set to make her first appearance in the season premiere.

I’m sure it’s just coincidence that every show that Glau has had a starring role in was cancelled. Right?
