Exclusive: Meet Archer's Best Friends! VSGuide has learned exclusively that Griffin Gluck ('Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life') and Kiernan Shipka ('Mad Men') have been cast as Archer Sullivan-Queen's (Jace Norman) best friends. Gluck is set to portray Brady Chambers - an original character made for the show - who is described as a "self-proclaimed geek" equipped with with wit as his weapon and a fierce loyalty to his childhood best friend, Archer. Shipka, on the other hand, is set to play DC Comics' Suzanne "Cissie" King-Jones, a "bright and athletic" student who transferred to Star City High School a year ago but has quickly found her home in this trio of friends. Together, they are jokingly referred to by Chloe (Allison Mack) as the "Alphabe-st Friends" due to the A-B-C chronology of their names. "In figuring out what Archer's world would be and how his life would mirror the legacy of his parents, it felt right to surround him with a similar unit of friends that Chloe had in high school with Pete and Clark and that's what Archer has with Brady and Cissie," series creator Jack Malone explained on the decision to bring these characters into the story. When we meet them, Brady has been the gatekeeper of one of Archer's big secrets and urges him to finally let Cissie in on it when a situation truly forces them to seek help. "There's a big catalyst in the [season premiere] and it doesn't just affect Chloe, it affects all the characters, and so we meet Archer's friends - his support system - through his response to this colossal event." One thing that should be noted is that in the comics, Cissie is a superhero and a Young Justice member known as Arrowette — an identity that might be the character's destination on Watchtower, perhaps? "The significance of Cissie being on the show and being alongside Archer is that they're both characters that were raised with superhero parents — Archer's father is Green Arrow, and Cissie's mother was Miss Arrowette — and therefore they both have these potential paths laid out for them to embark on that, as we know, can be incredibly rough and dangerous and scary," Malone told VSGuide, "And that's where Brady comes in as this glue that keeps them together and offers this levity and this warmth and humour to the craziness that is their lives."
Gluck and Shipka are expected to make numerous appearances throughout the season, with their debut appearance expected to take place in the third episode of Watchtower Season 5, titled "Martyr." So stoked for this!! Love that we'll be dealing so much with Archer's story and his own journey into maybe becoming a hero in his own right! Also, Arrowette!?!?! Does this mean we'll meet her mother Bonnie?! Will she be some kind of stalker-fan in Ollie's life? Will her dad Bernall be working with Chloe at the Vale Verity? |

I will say, though, that Cissie is a character orbiting Archer's world and playing a supporting role within his story so there won't be too many opportunities to invest in a story about her parents. Mentioned, definitely. Seen once or twice, absolutely. But nothing major. |

She was always my favorite young hero |

OMG! The freaking "Court of Owls"?! I am so looking forward to this coming season!
Does this mean someone will be cast as 'Talon'?
I'm only vaguely familiar with the Court itself from the comics, and from the animated "Batman vs Robin" film, but still, AHHH!!

Your excitement is making me excited to push through the season and get it done, so thank you. Talon will definitely be showing up. There's a bit of a twist involved, though. And they'll first appear in episode 2.  |

I haven't made any progress on the opening credits. Whenever I have spare time to do anything related to Watchtower, it's just been writing the scripts. So right now it's future Jack's problem to figure out, hahaha.

Exclusive: The Penguin Comes To 'Watchtower!'
Meet the face of Gotham City's corruption! VSGuide has learned exclusively that actor Toby Jones has joined 'Watchtower' in its final season as DC Comics' Oswald Cobblepot, otherwise known as The Penguin. In the fifth and final season of 'Watchtower,' The Penguin will reveal himself to be a mastermind behind one of the biggest plots to take over the city — a plot that many have tried and failed. His connections are said to run deep, and his shady past and business ventures have established him as the face of the city's remaining corruption that he is expected to bring back to light in full-force. While he shares a past with The Batman, and has been an untouchable thorn in his side for the past decade, it's what he has planned in the present that will make him a memorable opponent for the remaining heroes of the 'Watchtower' universe to go up against in this last instalment of the series. "The Penguin is as filthy and corrupt as you could get and has become the Kingpin of crime in Gotham — nothing goes down without him signing off on it," series creator Jack Malone told VSGuide, "Every time Batman has tried to put him away for good, a lesser known criminal has taken the fall and The Penguin has weaselled his way out of suffering the consequences."
Jones will debut as The Penguin in the second episode of the season, and appear in multiple episodes throughout Season 5. |

I was expecting a certain archer who wears a yellow hood to become a main character again. I loved when she was apart of the show during S1. And everytime she has come back, I always felt the same emotions as everyone else when she popped up. That girl will always be my favorite. |

Hey, I said that every series regular character will be back in some capacity, and Mia was a regular in Season 1. She'll be back |

New spoilers (and a title reveal) for the fifth episode of Season 5: Episode #5-05: "Chasm"Written by: Jack Malone Produced by: The VPN UPDATED 12/02/2019
- Episode title revealed as 'Chasm.'
- While previous episodes have contained a "flashback story," this will be the first episode of the season that doesn't offer a cohesive story in the past but rather it will contain multiple flashbacks relevant to specific characters and their stories.
- "This episode really examines our characters at a critical point in the story where the events taking place in Gotham have divided them to a point where they all have different goals, and different means of fulfilling them," series creator Jack Malone told VSGuide, "While their individual paths may cross and align with others, everyone is really confronted with a specific choice to make by the end of the episode and that's where things may diverge."
- The Court of Owls have a life-changing offer for one of the main characters. |
