Arrow star David Ramsey will reprise the role of John Diggle aka Spartan in a new Arrowverse series.

TVLine reports that the actor will return as the military veteran in a brand new series titled Justice U from writers Michael Narducci (The Vampire Diaries) and Zoanne Clack (Grey's Anatomy).

In the upcoming show, John Diggle will take it upon himself to train five new superhero characters.

"After spending years fighting alongside masked heroes, John Diggle embarks on a new mission to recruit five young meta humans to live undercover as freshmen at a prestigious university. There he will oversee their education and train them to become the heroes of tomorrow," the official synopsis reads.

Ramsey will also be in the director's chair for the pilot, but there's no assurance the series will move forward at The CW.

But Ramsey isn't the only one with a clear interest in keeping being part of the Arrowverse.

Following her cameo in the final part of The Flash's huge crossover event, Katherine McNamara said she would be open to the idea of returning as Mia Queen in other shows.

"I would love nothing more than to come play in the Arrowverse again," she told Entertainment Weekly at the end of last year. "Truly, if anybody needs a gal to come shoot some arrows at some bad guys in a cool supersuit, just cast a green arrow in the sky and I'll come running."
