Arrow has named Beth Schwartz showrunner for season 7. The current showrunners will be stepping aside.

Schwartz, who has been with Arrow since its first season in 2012, will be promoted to executive producer and showrunner for season 7, which was recently announced by The CW. Schwartz started on Arrow as a writers’ assistant and worked her way up through the ranks; she served as co-executive producer in season 6.

“We are all so incredibly thrilled to announce Beth Schwartz as the new showrunner of Arrow,” Greg Berlanti says.

“She has been a source of some of the show’s most exciting and memorable moments from the beginning. Beth is a true leader and a captivating storyteller, and we all can’t wait for the audience to see what she and her team dream up as they take Arrow into its next big chapter.”

Current Arrow co-showrunner Wendy Mericle will be leaving the series at the end of the current season, Deadline reports. Her co-showrunner, Marc Guggenheim, will take a step back and serve as an executive consultant.

Guggenheim will also step back from showrunning on Legends of Tomorrow, where he has been sharing those duties with Phil Klemmer. With Guggenheim serving as an executive consultant on Legends, Klemmer will be the sole showrunner for season 4.

Arrow airs Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. ET on The CW.
