At The CW, the Arrowverse as we know it as coming to an end with The Flash season 9. The long-running series will have 13 episodes to wrap up the story of Barry Allen and Team Flash. Now, via Deadline, The CW has set a premiere date for Barry’s final run: Wednesday, February 8 at 8pm PST/EST.
According to The CW’s description for the new season, the story begins one week after the season 8 finale in which Barry (Grant Gustin) definitively defeated Reverse Flash. A team of Rogues will soon rise to challenge Team Flash. However, the biggest threat will come in the form of “a deadly new adversary” who “rises to challenge Barry Allen’s heroic legacy.”
Besides Gustin, the only original cast members returning on a regular basis are Candice Patton as Iris West-Allen and Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow.
