The Flash has been The CW’s highest-rated show for two seasons. Will it continue to bring in positive numbers? Could it possibly be cancelled or is it guaranteed to be renewed for a fourth season? Stay tuned.
Based on the DC Comics series, The Flash revolves around young police scientist Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) who’s struck by lightning in a freak accident. He finds that he has super speed and decides to use his abilities as a masked hero. The show also stars Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, and Carlos Valdes.

What do you think? Do you like The Flash TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Is it just me but did the end of the season 3 even make sense. Although I’m happy they let caitlin keep her powers, but its just seemed forced. The TV show has changed from a strong character/story driven show, too this love and friendship conquers all.
I’m in love with this show…. Regardless!!! ❤
Hi my name is Tyrell Thomas , I am sixteen years old. I just finished watching the last episode of season 3. The ending had me in tears, I love this show, I love the whole back story of it , and I love how every actor fits their part. You can’t end the flash series like this it’s a big inspiration to people all over the world who want to be an actor. The flash has been my favorite super hero since I was 5 and when I heard there was a TV series on him you don’t know… Read more »
I cried like a baby, myself! Absolutely a #1 fan of The Flash, thank The Lord they are gonna have a season 4!!! But, it’ll be between 2017-2018
I think that they should air the 4th season of The Flash. It’s just amazing I don’t get bored watching this, Go team WestAllen (no offense). I just got done watching the last episode for season 3 the flash and I got to say I think it is going to come up with some new villains and probably how will Barry Allen will escape from the speed force? Like if you read it please.
Please continue on to the 4th season!!!! It is a show that brings my family together regardless of age! We all love it! Every episode we watch twice! It has been years since there had been such a good show that wasn’t only for the older group of adults. I so hope it continues!!!!
Please leave this episode because because I y come after and wait for 8:00 pm to the show come on and it is always interesting every single episode makes me wonder what is next the flash is a amazing show I love it so much please don’t ruin it for me I be watching it on Netflix because its amazing the actors in the flash inspires people if they want to be a actor just please don’t cancel the show make a season 4 ppppppllllleeeeeaaaassssseeee
The actors are the only thing saving the series. The writers are morons reverse flash goes back in time always and changes history. But the show complains about the flash trying to correct history change by a man 500 years in the future, which means flash mother lived a full life 400 years before reverse flash was born?
I am from India…sad you’re channel isnt available here…but please do continue the flash…or else it will be incomplete and doesn’t justify the first season villain!
Love The Flash and Westallen. I really hope S4 is lighter in tone, though.
Yes for season 4, no for Iris, I really don’t want to watch cosplay telenovela, but The Flash. Also Cisco and Caitlin, yeah they must go toSmallville, Gotham or Moscow, but they are borefest of unlikeness.
The flash can’t be deleted it is my favorite show of all time and it always will be. I watch the same episodes over and over again because they are so good. I barely even come out of my room because I am usually watching the flash!!! I would be so devastated if it ended so please don’t end it I’m begging you please!!!!
My emotions if it ended⬆️
My emotions if it kept going!!!⬆️
I love the Flash and now several people who do also and would be devastated if it ended! SO CW don’t cancel season 4 keep it going !
ATT: Meagan Cook , my cousin Mathew and all my friends who love this show.
Keep the show going. The West Allen/Iris haters do NOT speak for the audience. I doubt the writers will listen to the haters this time anyhow. The show runners listened to the Laurel haters and look what happened to Arrow. It has the lowest ratings out of the DC tv shows. And the ratings continue to drop (will these fans ever learn?). The issue this season is the somber tone the show has taken (I appreciate the character development but I do get that it bores the young viewers). Not to mention we barely see any of our characters doing… Read more »
I say The Flash has to have a minimum of 5 season’s because it’s the flash it has very intense moments in where people get shocked by the decision Barry Allen does and the rest od the group too, so yes there has to be a 4th season.
Please no season 4, please! This is ruining DCEU.
Hey now listen if you dont like it dont watch it but dont try and ruin it for the people who love this show and would watch it no matter what. DCEU Flash looks bad Grat Gustin will always portray The Flash
I love The Flash , but I’m tired West/Allen drama
