The Flash has been renewed for season 6! That means way more speedster shenanigans and time-traveling adventures with Barry Allen and his team at STAR Labs. The news was confirmed by The CW at this winter’s Television Critics Association Press Tour.
What The Flash season 6 will have in store for its heroes is anybody’s guess at the moment, but we do know that, at the very least, the show will feature some sort of lead up to (and deal with) the aftershocks of this year’s Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover event, which promises to shake the Arrowverse to its very core. There’s no doubt that life will change for Barry, especially after an event as famous as DC’s very first Crisis. As some of you already know, a DC Crisis usually means that a Flash is about to die…
Of course, Barry isn’t the only speedster in the Arrowverse. There’s also Nora West-Allen, Barry and Iris’ daughter, also known as the speedster XS. No death would be more devastating for the Flash family than the heir to Barry’s legacy. Whoever the Crisis claims, it probably won’t be easy to say goodbye.
“This season, we expanded our primetime schedule to six nights with the addition of Sunday — which has been an unqualified success for the network, our affiliates and our advertisers,” CW president Mark Pedowitz said in a statement. “In addition to growing our schedule across the week, we also continue to add more year-round programming. The early renewal of these signature CW series gives us a head start on laying out the 2019-2020 season, and this is just the beginning. These shows provide a strong foundation for our multiplatform programming strategy, and we look forward to building on this with even more returning and new shows as we approach the May upfront.”
We’ll keep you updated as we hear more about The Flash season 6.
