'Arrow' Season 3 CW Release Date 2014, Spoilers, Cast Adds 'Carrie Diaries' Austin Butler & 'Supernatural' Star Carrie Cutter as Cupid (VIDEO)

"Arrow" Season 3 on the CW has revealed "Carrie Diaries" star Austin Butler will be joining the series for a recurring role this season. Butler will play Chase, a DJ who blossoms a romance with Thea (Willa Holland). 

"Arrow" Season 3 is scheduled to premiere on October 8th on CW network.

The "Arrow" guest cast for Season 3 also includes Ra's al Ghul (Matt Nable), the Atom/Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), Wildcat/Ted Grant (J.R. Ramirez), Felicity's mother (Charlotte Ross), Maseo (Karl Yune), Katana (Rila Fukushima), a new Count Vertigo (Peter Stormare), Felicity's college ex (Nolan Funk) and Mark Shaw/Manhunter (David Cubitt).

They will also be adding "Supernatural" album Carrie Cutter to the cast as Cupid for the upcoming episodes. 

The show's executive producer Andrew Kreisberg created the character for the Green Arrow/Black Canary comic book series. "I always loved the idea of Green Arrow having a crazed fan," Kreisberg told EW. "When I was writing the comic book, my big goal was to create a villain who would last. Cupid has since appeared in the DC Nation shorts on Cartoon Network, and to have her fight our TV Arrow is so much more than I ever could have hoped for the character."

Expect Cupid (Cutter) to make her debut on "Arrow" Season 3 in the sixth and seventh episodes of the season. 

"Arrow" Season 3 is coming to the CW this Fall and new cast additions are surfacing. They released the first promo photo, made public by Entertainment Weekly, of Colton Hayes in his superhero Arsenal character outfit. Hayes will play Roy Harper, who eventually becomes a side-kick to Green Arrow named Arsenal (formerly named Speedy in the comic books). There is a strong resemblance to Arrow's look but swapped out red for green.

Also, TVLine.com reported that Brandon Routh had been added to the cast for Season 3 at Ray Palmer / The Atom! They state, "An unparalleled scientist and inventor, Ray will play an unexpected role in the lives of Oliver (Stephen Amell) and (rumored love interest) Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) as the new owner of Queen Consolidated. Palmer's plans for Queen Consolidated's Applied Sciences Division will be shrouded in mystery."

Season 3 of "Arrow" will return John Barrowman as a regular character, after finding out Thea Queen was in fact his biologicial daughter in Season 2. The producers of the show will be adding more flashback sequences to explains how Oliver became the Green Arrow in Season 3. Stephen Amell said that the Season 3 flashbacks will take place in Hong Kong. In the Season 2 finale flashback scene, Oliver wakes up in a Hong Kong and finds himself under the 'care' of the A.R.G.U.S. spy agency. Oliver then begins to receive training under Toshi, a highly-trained government operative and devoted family man. Toshi's wife Akiko is implied as being Oliver's caretaker.
