A week out from the Arrow season 5 premiere, The CW has released an action-packed trailer.

Last season on Arrow, Team Arrow took on Damien Darhk and H.I.V.E. Darhk’s magic made him nearly impossible to stop, and he killed Laurel before the team could defeat him. Though Oliver was eventually able to counter Darhk’s magic and kill him, the team fractured.

Thea took an extended break, Diggle re-enlisted in the military, and though Felicity remained, she and Oliver were no longer a couple. Oliver was also sworn in as interim mayor of Star City.

Going into season 5, the Green Arrow will be dealing with a resurgence in Star City in the present and connecting with the Bratva in Russia in the flashbacks. Watch the trailer teasing Oliver’s new team as well as his time with the Bratva below:

The synopsis for the season 5 premiere, “Legacy,” reads:

NEW BEGINNINGS — After Laurel’s (Katie Cassidy) death and the departures of both Diggle (David Ramsey) and Thea (Willa Holland) from Team Arrow, Oliver (Stephen Amell) takes to the streets solo to protect Star City’s citizens as the Green Arrow. With Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) guiding him from the bunker, Oliver is forced to deal with a city that has become overrun with both criminals and a slew of new (and painfully inexperienced) vigilantes. Watching Oliver try to balance his jobs as both the mayor and also the protector of Star City, Felicity suggests he form a new team, but Oliver resists. However, when a deadly new criminal, Tobias Church (guest star Chad L. Coleman), enters the picture, Oliver realizes the best thing for the city might be a new team of superheroes. Meanwhile, the flashbacks take us to Russia where Oliver faces off against the Bratva. James Bamford directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Wendy Mericle (#501).

Finally, we also have a poster for the fifth season:

Arrow season 5 premieres Wednesday, October 5 at 8:00 p.m. ET on The CW.
