Arrow featured actors from Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD in its season 8 premiere, which reruns on The CW tonight if you missed it.

The Arrow season 8 premiere last month showcased three One Chicago actors, and fans have a second chance to see it or watch it again tonight.

“Starling City” featured former Chicago Med star Colin Donnell, who had been a regular on The CW‘s superhero series before playing Dr. Connor Rhodes. Colin reprised his role as Tommy Merlyn, the best friend of Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), this time on an alternate Earth.

But the episode also introduced a new character played by former Chicago Fire series regular Charlie Barnett, who’s portraying one of the primary antagonists for the CW show’s final season.

And Chicago PD alum Josh Segarra, who recurred as Hank Voight’s (Jason Beghe) son Justin before he was killed off, also re-appeared on Arrow. Like Colin, he played a new version of his character, who had become a hero instead of a supervillain.

All of that added up to an episode that One Chicago enthusiasts should check out if you didn’t do so when it originally aired on Oct. 15.

Each of the Chicago alums gets a decent amount of screen time, with Colin Donnell having the most prominent guest role—and turning in a remarkable performance that shows a different side of both him and his character.

Josh Segarra and Charlie Barnett likewise play roles that aren’t anything like their appearances as Justin Voight and Peter Mills, respectively. Both of them have a much harder edge to their work, especially Barnett since he’s playing a bad guy. And all three of them have excellent fight scenes to keep viewers entertained.

Plus, you don’t have to know Arrow or have watched the show before to appreciate their work. As “Starling City” was the season premiere, it provides plenty of exposition to explain to viewers who everyone is and what is happening. Even if you’re not into superhero shows, you’ll enjoy seeing the familiar faces.

Don’t miss your second opportunity to see some of our One Chicago performers in action. Arrow airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
