Next week’s installment of Arrow, titled “The Magician,” will feature a higher than average quotient of the al Ghul family. Not only is it the long-percolating debut of actor Matt Nable as Ra’s al Ghul, it’s also the return of Katrina Law as that character’s daughter, Nyssa al Ghul.
Law debuted as Nyssa in season two’s “Heir to the Demon,” which aired this past February. In the show, Nyssa is a member of the League of Assassins that has a romantic past with Sara Lance (Caity Lotz). Given the major developments early this fall in the show’s third season, there’s plenty for Nyssa to confront.
Written by Wendy Mericle & executive producer Marc Guggenheim and directed by John Behring, “The Magician” — the 50th overall episode of “Arrow” — is set to air 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 29 on The CW.
