The Fastest Man Alive will lastly hit the brakes, as The Flash ends its future on The CW with season 9 in 2023.
The CW introduced that The Flash’s upcoming season, scheduled to premiere on the community’s midseason schedule (which usually begins in January) can be its final. The sequence, which was the primary to spin off of the success of 2011’s Arrow and formally flip it into a whole small-screen DC Universe (dubbed, naturally, The Arrowverse), can be the final present in that universe nonetheless standing.
Like a number of comedian guide properties, The Arrowverse has develop into more and more weighed down in knotty continuity and a basic lack of route, however maybe there was much more writing on the wall: current modifications at The CW have shifted focus away from DC properties. Currently, the community solely has three DC Comics reveals, none of which exist within the Arrowverse correct: Stargirl, which takes place on a parallel Earth, Superman & Lois, which was just lately established as aside from, though just like, the Arrowverse, and the brand new non-Arrowverse present Gotham Knights.
Thus, The Flash‘s abbreviated 13-episode last season will even function a farewell to the Arrowverse, an unlikely TV experiment that in some methods — particularly given the large calls for of 20-plus episode broadcast seasons — would possibly finally be extra logistically spectacular than the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe. After all, The Arrowverse already had a Multiverse Saga of its personal — the MCU is simply taking part in catch up.
Long reside the Arrowverse. We await the reunion particular in 10 years.
The Flash, together with most of the Arrowverse reveals, is on the market to stream on Netflix.
