Arrow Season Two Netflix Release Delayed

It looks like rabid Netflix fans of the Emerald Archer will need to wait just a little longer for their fix.  Due to start streaming yesterday, Netflix has announced that it will be delaying the release of Season 2 of Arrow until October 8.  On the bright side, when it does get released, fans will get a double-dose of Ollie and team because October 8 is also the premiere date for Season 3 of Arrow.  However, if you’re someone who swears by physical media, the DVD and Blu-ray releases of Season 2 are already available for pre-order and set to be available tomorrow.  Season 2’s official synopsis reads:

"Billionaire archery enthusiast Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) returns for another season in Starling City. Sworn to fight crime and corruption in his city, Oliver (aka the Arrow) – with the help of the tech-savvy Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) and his iron-fisted right hand, John Diggle (David Ramsey), and the occasional, reluctant assistance of former police detective Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne) – has been waging a one-man war on crime. But in all wars, there are casualties. To honor his fallen friend, Tommy Merlyn, and protect the people he loves, Oliver must rededicate himself to his mission and be more than just a vigilante. He must become a beacon of hope for the city’s most vulnerable…and a weapon of justice against those who prey upon them. Malcolm Merlyn (aka the Dark Archer) rocked Oliver Queen’s world in the first season finale of Arrow, but who’s going to pick up the pieces? Find out in season two as Oliver Queen goes from Hood to Hero!"

DVD and Blu-ray versions will include:

• Three new featurettes:
  • “From Vigilante to Hero” – Documentary highlighting Oliver Queen’s journey from fighting injustices to becoming Starling City’s resident savior.
  • “How Did They Do That?! The Visual Effects of Arrow” – Explores how Season 2 has raised the bar for action and effects, showing how the creators can make anything the writers dream up come to life.
  • “Wirework: The Impossible Moves of Arrow” – See how the intense and elaborate fight sequences are shot for maximum realism!
• “Arrow 2013″ Comic Con Panel
• Deleted Scenes
• Gag Reel

If you don’t quite have Oliver’s financial backing and want to save some scratch, you can also try your chances at winning your own signed copy of Season 2 from DC.

Season 3 of Arrow will premiere on Wednesday, October 8, 2014 at 8:00PM EST on The CW.
