(The CW)
Barry Allen is going to run his last race in 2023. The CW has announced that The Flash TV series will end with its upcoming ninth season of 13 episodes. The show will wrap in early 2023 and cross the finish line with 184 installments.
A superhero drama series, The Flash TV show stars Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Danielle Nicolet, Kayla Compton, Brandon McKnight, and Jesse L. Martin. The action-adventure series centers on police scientist Barry Allen (Gustin) who develops super speed after a dark-matter lightning strike. Behind a mask, Barry uses his powers to protect the people of Central City from many an evil force as The Flash. Those on his team include Caitlin Snow/Frost (Panabaker), Meta-Empath Cecile Horton (Nicolet), the light-powered meta Allegra Garcia (Compton), brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (McKnight), and retired detective Joe West (Martin).
It’s been speculated for a while that one of The CW’s highest-rated and long-running shows would come to an end with the upcoming 2022-23 season. Original cast members Gustin, Patton, and Panabaker are all signed to return full-time for the final season. Martin has committed to five episodes. Production on the final season begins next month.
“Nine seasons! Nine years of saving Central City while taking audiences on an emotional journey full of heart, humor, and spectacle. And now Barry Allen has reached the starting gate for his last race,” executive producer/showrunner Eric Wallace said in a statement. “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.”
What do you think? Have you enjoyed The Flash TV series on The CW? Is season nine a good time to end the show, or would you have watched a 10th season?
Walker is he only show I watched and I am glad the CW finally found at leas one good show and another one was Legends of Tomorrow as well as Arrow ??????? SADLY YOU GOT RID OF ALL HE GOOD SHOWS AND KEP HE LOUSY ONES !!!!!!!!
Given the collapse of the CW network, this announcement surprised absolutely nobody. Since they’re only doing a short season… just like Riverdale, why doesn’t CW just be fair about it, and give Legends of Tomorrow 13 weeks to wrap things up as well. I’m sure the Batwoman fans would also ask for the same deal, but I’m not so sure 13 weeks would be enough to fix everything that was wrong with that show.
This is one of the best shows to watch. Why cancel some of the best shows and leave some that aren’t worth watching on?
people stopped watching flash few years ago, viewership is abysmal
I gave up on the show when it became “The Iris-West Allen [with the flash].”
This show should’ve ended after about 4 or 5 seasons. To contorted, too hard to follow, too ridiculous. It also lost its humor along the way.
I would have watched season 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ETC….
Should have ended after Season 7 (or 6…depends on how tired you got of the show).
Are there any plans for the crossover episodes in the final season? Because I wanna know what happened to those characters from Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow after both of these shows ended on a chiffhanger. And I also wanna know which Earth is Superman & Lois set on.
I mean, are there any plans to make crossover episodes in the final season?
Probably not. Warner Bros. is trying to sell the CW and taking their characters with them. Also, it doesn’t matter what Earth Superman & Lois is in…it will be the only DC show left. If it goes past its 3rd season we might get some answers, but I doubt it.
Somehow, I just knew this would happen. Was it Cisco leaving that spelled doom for an otherwise pretty good series. When Arrow was cancelled you could count the days for the rest to fall. I didn’t watch Batwoman, Stargirl, Black Lightning, Naomi, Tom Swift or Kung Fu. So, the only superhero shows I like and will watch are Flash and Superman & Lois. I may give Gotham Knights a look next year. In May Mark Pedowitz has confirmed the network is staying in the superhero game. But what shows are left that would make that statement true?
Just as well… the show was getting pretty lame the last few seasons.
Whatever its faults or shortcomings, it was still the best of all the “Arrowverse” (an awful term, but we’re stuck with it) series, and it’s sad to think that Grant Gustin will have to play other, lesser characters in the future.
They ran out of story a couple seasons ago. The Arrowverse was awesome for many years. But now it’s been over for a couple years. The Flash is the last one to go down. Enjoyed the cast’s work for many years.
This show jumped the shark a few year’s ago. It’s time to move on.
Stopped watching after they fired Elastic Man, and I thought it was real crappy that none of his co-stars spoke up for him.
You mean the Elongated Man? The actor (Hartley Sawyer) who was fired for making tweets referencing sexual assault, containing racist and homophobic language? Yea, that’s why they didn’t speak up for him. I wouldn’t have either. It’s called “accountability”.
there was no accountability
Good news don’t care The CW channel anymore sucks 1990’s drama was the best with syfy action. Fan Marvel and DC comics shows disappear big bummer been around 10 anniversary Arrow was so good too. Fell apart hate write that way it was shame writer and producer embarrass.
