We don’t have to wonder if The Flash will be cancelled this time around since the series has already been renewed for an eighth season. But, will season eight be the end of the series, like it was for Arrow? Will The Flash TV show continue to be one of The CW’s most-watched programs? Stay tuned.
Airing on Tuesday nights, The Flash stars Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Danielle Nicolet, Efrat Dor, Tom Cavanagh, Brandon McKnight, Kayla Compton, 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 his mask, Barry uses his powers to protect the people of Central City from many an evil force as The Flash. The seventh season picks up where season six left off, with the new Mirror Master (Efrat Dor) victorious and still-at-large in Central City. The Flash must regroup in order to stop her and find a way to make contact with his missing wife, Iris (Patton). With help from the rest of Team Flash, which includes superheroes Caitlin Snow (Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Valdes) and Nash Wells (Cavanagh), as well as the Flash’s adoptive father Joe West ( Martin), Meta-Attorney Cecile Horton (Nicolet), tough cub reporter Allegra Garcia (Compton) and brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (McKnight). The Flash will ultimately defeat Mirror Master. But in doing so, he’ll also unleash an even more powerful and devastating threat on Central City: one that threatens to tear his team (and his marriage) apart.

What do you think? Do you like The Flash TV series on The CW? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for an eighth season?
Y’all writers need to stop forcing wasteallen down our throats, we hate it and there’s nothing y’all can do about it… Caitlin and Frost are the only reason i still watch the show.. The Iris character is really annoying and the actress that plays it isn’t even helping matters and just so you know I’m black and i really dislike that character so this isn’t about racism or whatever.. We need more Barry and Caitlin since Carlos and Tom are leaving I’ll always be a Snowbarry shipper cause they make me happy and obviously will make a better couple.. If… Read more »
Iris IS annoying, has been since Season 1
Iris West has taken over the WHOLE CONCEPT of the show. Might as well rename THE FLASH to IRIS WEST & The Rest. Just sit right back and watch the ratings FLASH RUN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ratings heap WITH Iris and Barry too ..
sawyer hartley
This latest episode was so inspiring. Practice what they preach and apply it to real life and bring back jUSTINE hARTLEY to the show.
Bring back well get rid of mknight
the writers used to be so amazing what the hell happened to this show. season 2 was the last good show and then from there it went downhill.
no matter what always love this show only has change bite. Everything else beside stargirl so good rest shows sucks of DC.
Knew the ratings would dip after what they did to ma boi Hartley + the show has just been quite a borefest since S4 fam
the shows been ass since season 3 and it never got better
just found the tweets, guy has evidence of being a woman beater… that’s not PC / woke stuff that’s pure abuse
Yea. What Chuck said.Though double Danielle is doubly Delightful. Thank-you. How about The Barry Loves Iris Show for the new series title. NO matter how vile the villain or how impossible the situation, BARRIS love will save the day every time EVERY SEASON. Yup. That sounds exciting. Every threat ends with that LOVE POTION # 9. Talk about keeping the tension up . Great acting by Grant when Barry gave his we’re all in this together speech no matter someones past actions, second chances is where it’s at. Give this man an EMMY. Hartley Sawyer could hand it to him.
As hard as it is to believe…The show continues to devolve. It’s now a soap opera and…a bad one at that! They should have a health warning to diabetics before each episode. Last year, in a spasm of moronic PC justice they axed Hartley Sawyer. In the latest lame episode they made clear they are bringing back a new elongated man whose face… despite his power to assume different shapes & forms…is “permanently reconfigured.” I had more or less expected to watch this tripe until the end but…I just can’t stomach anymore. It’s just too pathetic.
You right very dull the writers suck and no harrison wells doesn’t help
ok, so S07E03 is where we part our ways with flash.
2-year story arc culminated like erectile dysfunction, elongated man massacred, cgi could be done better in fan made videos, Wells magically appeared and disappeared, Iris is still annoying.
0.22 in target demo is half of the last season’s average, and few years ago was a good time to wake up for CW.
I’m so happy The Flash is back I have been watching since season 1 an am definitely hooked. Season 7 episode 2 was amazing it had me on an emotional rollercoaster. The acting, The special effects, The Sense of humor I loved it all. The episode definitely kept my attention Eric has out done his self once again. Grant, Candice, Carlos etc all have an amazing acting skills. And I can’t wait until Tuesday to see what the show has in store for us.
You mean Grant, Danielle and Carlos right.. Yea they have great acting skills… OTF always.. Just so you know I’m black so you can’t call me a racist ☺
Please boost ratings so good haven’t missed aired episodes in years so glad return got renewed another season already way better news.
The CW is digging their grave by putting Flash at 8PM and Superman & Lois at 9PM
Flash did lesser numbers even at a more favourable time slot. Put S&L first and then the Flash
doesn’t matter, flash is done
Not watching it after the whole Hartley Sawyer fiasco. Didn’t see even one of his cast mates support him at all.
Fr bro, some of the eejits acc went and unfollowed him♂️
