Amell also revealed fun facts to his fans, including what superpower he would want to possess off-screen

"It's a toss-up between flying and reading people's minds," he said.

He also described what the day-to-day on set schedule is like, including "some rehearsal, some choreography, and some lunch" in between "a lot of exercise when I'm on set and a lot of exercise when I am not on set...and sleep."

The comic-based show had two very successful seasons on the CW, becoming the network's most-watched series to date, with 3.9 million viewers who can't get enough. In fact, it is one of the highest rated shows for male viewers specifically, as ratings grew among men 18-34.

In a statement published on Feb. 13th, Pedowitz said, "We now have strong nights on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I'm very pleased to announce early pickups for all five series, and to let our fans know they'll have more great drama to look forward to next season."
