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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like The Flash TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
i tried at least twice to watch this show , but i guess it’s just not my thing … too much of a teen show for me . but it seems decent , doesn’t seem to have nudity or vulgarity , which in my book makes a decent show
I LOVE The Flash series. Looking forward to a season 5! Just finished Netflix The Flash Season 3 and already I’m missing seeing the entire cast of The Flash on a daily basis. The scripting is awesome and the chemistry between the ensemble is wonderful to experience.
Those actors are talented people! I love how the writers also spotlight their many other talents in special episodes
Great job, everyone. Come back soon!
I dont want the flash to be cancelled and I really don’t want another speedster villain.
i think the flash should not be canceled. it is a very awsome to watch.
Please do not cancel the flash because me and probably many others have faced her life surround it! And please keep Barry Allen as the flash.! Also put Kaitlyn back on teen flash!
