Co-executive producer Beth Schwartz will take over as the CW drama’s sole showrunner for the upcoming seventh season, our sister site Deadline reports.
Schwartz joined Arrow in Season 1 as a writer’s assistant before working her way up to co-executive producer in Season 6.
“We are all so incredibly thrilled to announce Beth Schwartz as the new showrunner of Arrow,” Berlanti said in a statement.
(Guggenheim will also step back on the spinoff Legends of Tomorrow, where EP Phil Klemmer will be the sole showrunner for Season 4.)
