Another return to Arrow!
We are getting closer and closer to the end of the television season in the United States. While DC's Legends of Tomorrow completed its second season last week, Arrow is on hiatus until April 26, when the last 5 episodes of the season will be broadcast.
Actor Stephen Amell (Oliver Queen/Green Arrow), very present on social networks, has just published a tweet announcing a return that many expected. This return will occur in the twenty-third and final episode of season 5 entitled Lian Yu.

As you have understood, it is Manu Bennett, who plays Slade Wilson / Deathstroke who will be back! The actor had not appeared in the series since the episode Resurgence, the 14thof season 3 in 2015. However, Deathstroke has since made appearances in the series, most notably during the 100th episode in 2016.
Following Stephen Amell's announcement, producer Marc Guggenheim also posted a tweet from the front page of the episode's script tagging Manu Bennett's name:

The season 5 finale of Arrow will be an opportunity to see Katie Cassidy again in the role of Black Siren. The actress was recently promoted to regular for the upcoming sixth season.
Arrow returns to the CW on April 26 for the last five episodes of season 5.
