Will there be season 9 of flash?

Production on Season 9 of the beloved DC series is set to begin in September, with the final season slated to debut in 2023. The season will consist of 13 episodes.

“Nine seasons! Nine years of saving Central City while taking audiences on an emotional journey full of heart, humor, and spectacle,” said series executive producer and showrunner Eric Wallace. “And now Barry Allen has reached the starting gate for his last race. So many amazing people have given their talents, time, and love to bring this wonderful show to life each week. So, as we get ready to honor the show’s incredible legacy with our exciting final chapter, I want to say thank you to our phenomenal cast, writers, producers, and crew over the years who helped make ‘The Flash’ such an unforgettable experience for audiences around the world.“

Grant Gustin stars as the titular speedster, while the cast for Season 8 also included Jesse L. Martin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Danielle Nicolet, Kayla Compton, and Brandon McKnight. Greg Berlanti, Geoff Johns, and Andrew Kreisberg developed the series. Berlanti executive produces via Berlanti Productions along with Sarah Schechter. As previously stated, Wallace is an executive producer. Warner Bros. Television is the studio.

Upon the completion of its ninth season, “The Flash” will be one of the longest-running CW shows ever, particularly when looking at shows that originated solely on The CW. “Supernatural,” by comparison, ran for 15 seasons, but began its run on The WB before it became The CW. “The Flash” began airing on CW after the switch, airing its first episode in 2014.

“The Flash” is also the longest-running of The CW’s modern DC shows, edging out shows like “Arrow” (eight seasons) and “Legends of Tomorow” (seven seasons). “The Flash” has remained consistently popular throughout its run and ended Season 8 as one of The CW’s most-watched shows and also ranked among its most-streamed titles. With it now ending, the only current DC shows on The CW are “Superman & Lois,” “Stargirl,” and the upcoming “Gotham Knights” series.

This is the latest legacy show at The CW to meet its end in recent months. The network previously canceled a number of its current series during upfront season, including “Naomi,” “Batwoman,” and “Legends of Tomorrow” as well as “4400,” “Charmed,” “Dynasty,” “Roswell, New Mexico,” and “In the Dark.” “Legacies” was also canceled in May, bringing the “Vampire Diaries” universe to a close.

All of this has occurred as Nexstar is preparing to purchase a majority stake in The CW from Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global. With the sale looming, questions abound about how much original scripted programming The CW will have going forward.

The Flash season 9 synopsis and premiere date have officially been released, revealing the major return of a DC Comics villain team. After running for nearly a decade, Grant Gustin is suiting up as Barry Allen one last time in The Flash season 9, which will bring an end to the beloved Arrowverse drama. Since 2014, The Flash has been one of The CW's most successful series, especially in the Arrowverse franchise, even going as far as surpassing Arrow's eight-year run. Set to return for 13 episodes, The Flash season 9 will mark as one of the few remaining Arrowverse shows for the network, with Superman & Lois season 3 coming back next year too.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

After waiting a long time to find out when The Flash's final season, which is halfway through filming, is premiering, The CW has officially unveiled its 2023 date. The network announced on Monday that The Flash season 9 is officially set to premiere on Wednesday, February 8, at its regular 8PM timeslot. Along with providing the date, The CW has also released a brand new synopsis for The Flash season 9, which reveals more details on what to expect from the final season. Check out the full synopsis below:

After defeating the Reverse Flash once and for all, the ninth season of THE FLASH picks up one week later following their epic battle, and Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) are reconnecting and growing closer than ever before. But when a deadly group of Rogues descend on Central City led by a powerful new threat, The Flash and his team—Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Meta-Empath Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet), the light-powered meta Allegra Garcia (Kayla Compton), brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (Brandon McKnight), and reformed cryogenics thief Mark Blaine (Jon Cor)—must once again defy impossible odds to save the day. But as The Rogues are defeated, a deadly new adversary rises to challenge Barry Allen’s heroic legacy. And in their greatest battle yet, Barry and Team Flash will be pushed to their limits, in order to save Central City one last time.

What The New Synopsis Reveals For The Flash Season 9

Similar to the recent seasons, The Flash season 9 is continuing the graphic novel format by having the season split into its own halves of storylines. The first arc will follow The Flash going up against The Rogues, which makes sense with the casting announcement of Richard Harmon as Captain Boomerang. This will be the first season in a long time that has any team-up between the Rogues, as various members have come and gone in the last few years. The other characters who will be part of this Rogues team-up have yet to be announced by The CW.

While the synopsis doesn't outright say it, the "powerful new threat" is more than likely none other than the Arrowverse's version of Red Death, who will be played by Batwoman star Javicia Leslie. Even though The CW is only referring to her as "Mystery Character," this is most likely the leader of the new Rogues. That would also explain why Leslie was recently spotted on set as Batwoman while encountering Red Death, who has to be an alternative take on Ryan Wilder.

The second and final graphic novel arc for The Flash season 9 references "a deadly new adversary" who "rises to challenge," who will serve as the last enemy Barry deals with before the series comes to an end. This is more than likely going to be the new avatar of the Negative Speed Force, a plot point that was set up in The Flash season 8 finale when a mysterious blue crystal was introduced in 2049. The theory that has been floating around for months is that the new avatar will be some variation of the DC Comics foe Cobalt Blue, but that has yet to be determined. With The Flash season 9 premiere set, a trailer will hopefully be released sooner rather than later.
