The Flash Season 10: Is it happening?
Fans of The Flash have been wondering if the show returns back for the tenth season. So, the answer to whether or not Season 10 will be released is no. The CW has confirmed that The Flash’s ninth season will be its final.
Talking about the ninth and final season of The Flash, Executive producer Eric Wallace said to The Hollywood Reporter:
“Nine seasons! Nine years of saving Central City while taking audiences on an emotional journey full of heart, humor and spectacle. And now Barry Allen has reached the starting gate for his last race. So many amazing people have given their talents, time, and love to bring this wonderful show to life each week.”
Concluding and thanking the cast, crew, writers, and producers for their work on the show:
“So, as we get ready to honor the show’s incredible legacy with our exciting final chapter, I want to say thank you to our phenomenal cast, writers, producers, and crew over the years who helped make The Flash such an unforgettable experience for audiences around the world.”
Eighth Season was supposed to be the last season
Eric Wallace, while speaking to TV Line, said that the eighth season of the show was supposed to be the last. Wallace even wrote the final episode of the eighth season as a finale.
“We had to rewrite it three different times, because when it was a series finale, we had to have a much more deep conversation with Barry and Iris, dealing with the fact that they were going to have kids soon, It was a little bit s*xier, and it was a lot more romantic of a scene. I really liked it.”
“There would have been an additional scene with all of Team Flash all getting their goodbyes on, but when we found out we had another season to play with, that meant, ‘Ooh, I can tease next year’s Big Bad? All right, let’s do that!’ So that final scene changed radically, and then the ‘Goodbye to Team Flash’ group party scene got deleted entirely.”
Wallace and the other writers rewrote the final episode of season 8 to make way for the ninth and final season. This was after the show’s main lead, Grant Gustin, who plays Barry Allen (Flash), agreed to a new deal with the CW which led to the renewal of the ninth and final season.
What to look forward to in The Flash Season 9?
Showrunner Eric Wallace has stated that The Flash would leave on a happy note. He declared in a statement that “Barry Allen has reached the starting gate for his last race,” calling season 9 of The Flash the “exciting last chapter” and guaranteeing that it would be one of the best seasons of the show.
The official synopsis of the final season of the show reads:
“After defeating the Reverse Flash once and for all, the ninth season of The Flash picks up one week later following their epic battle, and Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) are reconnecting and growing closer than ever before.”
It adds:
“But when a deadly group of Rogues descend on Central City led by a powerful new threat, The Flash and his team — Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Meta-Empath Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet), the light-powered meta Allegra Garcia (Kayla Compton), brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (Brandon McKnight) and reformed cryogenics thief Mark Blaine (Jon Cor) — must once again defy impossible odds to save the day.”
The final lines of the synopsis:
“But as The Rogues are defeated, a deadly new adversary rises to challenge Barry Allen’s heroic legacy And in their greatest battle yet, Barry and Team Flash will be pushed to their limits in order to save Central City one last time.”
The final episode of season 8 teased the appearance of the iconic Flash comics villain, Cobalt Blue. The fans have been waiting for his appearance in the show ever since it first aired in 2014.
Showrunners have confirmed Cobalt Blue to be the main antagonist of the final season. On the show, Cobalt Blue will be a variation of Eddie Thawne, A Central City cop and Iris’ ex-boyfriend, who died in the first season of the show.
