Javicia Leslie is not leaving the Arrowverse just yet. The Batwoman star is joining the final season of The Flash on The CW, per EW. No details about her role or how many episodes of the season she will appear in were released. Batwoman was cancelled after three seasons earlier this year.
Debuting in 2014, The Flash revolves around Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), a police scientist who gains superhuman speed after being struck by lightning and doused with chemicals. The ninth season’s cast includes Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Kayla Compton, and Brandon McKnight. Former series regular Jesse L. Martin will recur.
It’s also reported by Deadline that Jon Cor will be sticking around for season nine. After two seasons of recurring as Mark Blaine, aka Chillblaine, the actor has been promoted to a series regular on The CW series. The character is a former cryogenicist and criminal who becomes a love interest of Frost (Panabaker). Season nine will follow his journey to becoming a hero.
A premiere date for the final season of The Flash has not yet been announced. Only 13 episodes are planned for the upcoming final season.
