'Arrow' & The Huntress Meet For The First Time Promo Video…

By Joe Cohen | Published on November 15, 2012

Jessica De Gouw, a fairly new actress on the scene, will begin her two episode arc on CW’s action hit Arrow.

De Gouw will play Helena Bertinelli aka The Huntress. She’s a vigilante set on destroying her father’s organized crime empire. The Huntress will also be a potential love interest for Oliver Queen. Due to her blind pursuit for revenge she is on a path towards a head on collision with Arrow.

Arrow stars Stephen Amell(Oliver Queen), Colin Donnell( Tommy), Willa Holland (Thea Queen), Susanna Thompson (Moira Queen) and Paul Blackthorne(Detective Quentin Lance).

From the mind of Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and David Nutter, the hard-hitting action series resurrects the DC hero Arrow. After being marooned for five years on a remote island, billionaire Oliver Queen returns home with a mysterious agenda and very lethal new set of skills that he uses in a war on crime.

The promo video is below of her first episode, “Muse of Fire.” Catch this episode Wednesday at 8pm ET/PT.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
