With The CW going all-in on DC Comics superhero shows, it’s highly unlikely that The Flash will be cancelled this time around. Still, these days, it seems like no show is absolutely, positively safe. Will The Flash be cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A superhero drama that’s based on characters from DC Comics, The Flash stars Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Hartley Sawyer, Danielle Nicolet, Tom Cavanagh, 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. In season six, Barry has thrown himself into his work following the loss of his future daughter, Team Flash members are dealing with issues of their own, and genius Dr. Ramsey Rosso (Sendhil Ramamurthy) inadvertently gives birth to a new villain named Bloodwork.

*1/7/20 update: The CW has renewed The Flash TV show for a seventh season.
I’m not watching after the whole ordeal with Hartley being fired! Was my favorite show currently on the CW. Smallville is still the best no other superhero show compares. Not a fan of the romance stuff in the show so I usually mute or fast forward the Iris scenes, at least she is getting to do something different this season though. Also the Joe West character has been gutted, and I usually mute or fast forward his scenes also because all he is now is Barry’s shrink. Cisco was a favorite of mine but he is boring now since he… Read more »
Why not cancel the show instead? it is embarrassingly bad, better fire writers and producers for what they wrote, instead of punishing actor for meaningless twits.
