Principal photography will take place on location in the UK, France and Italy.

Colton Haynes’ Roy Harper was a popular character in The CW’s Arrow, starting off as a guest star before later becoming a series regular. Despite disappearing at the end of the shows third season (and giving his Arsenal costume to Thea Queen), it has been confirmed by Haynes himself that he will make a return in this season of Arrow.
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim is quoted as saying the following to accompany the announcement:
“We are beyond thrilled that Colton will be returning to Arrow this season. It was always our intention to have him return following his departure last season, but it was a matter of finding the right storyline to pull it off. That opportunity presented itself in episode 412 and we can’t wait for the fans to see this reunion.”
This means that you can expect to see Haynes’ return after the show returns for the second half of the season next year, should Arrow air 11 episodes in its first half.
