With the debut of Arrow in 2012, The CW kicked off what is now an impressive lineup of DC Comics television series.
Ritter, son of the late John Ritter, is best known for his starring role on The McCarthys, a CBS comedy that the network canceled after only 11 episodes.
According to THR, filling the void left by Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne) in Arrow season 5 will be Tyler Ritter as Detective Malone, a major recurring role kicking off in the new season.
After adding The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and newly acquired Supergirl, the network will dominate primetime programming once the shows return in the fall.
