Cast and characters[edit | edit source]

Production[edit | edit source]

Development[edit | edit source]

In April 2020, series star Grant Gustin said there had been discussions about renewing the series through a ninth season, but those were stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[37] In January 2022, when the eighth season was in its mid-season hiatus, Gustin signed a one-year deal for 15 episodes for a ninth season, with his salary increased to $200,000 per episode.^[38] On March 22, 2022, The CW renewed the series for a ninth season.^[39] On August 1, it was announced that it would be the final season of the series, with an abbreviated 13-episode order.^[40] Showrunner Eric Wallace stated that the cast and crew had originally expected the series to end with the eighth season, but after the ninth season was ordered, Wallace rewrote the season eight finale to not be a series finale.^[41]

Writing[edit | edit source]

Prior to learning that the ninth season would be the series' last and that it would have only 13 episodes, Wallace created additional storylines he hoped to include in the ninth season and a potential tenth season. These would have included a wrap-up to Legends of Tomorrow,^[42] the appearance of Max Mercury,^[43] an original storyline titled The Forever War,^[44] an adaptation of the Blackest Night storyline,^[44] and a storyline featuring the Justice League fighting Despero in another alien invasion.^[44] After the final 13 episodes were ordered, Wallace's plans for the 200th episode were moved to the series finale.^[42] In the end, Eric Wallace was replaced with Freddie Goodwin for the final season. Goodwin said the first five episodes of the season would be about a story-arc called The Flash War, which will be one of the "biggest story-arcs to date", with lots of speedsters, action, and focus on Barry. He confirmed episodes 4 and 5 would be titled "The War of the Speedsters, Part 1 & Part 2". He said these two episodes will be the biggest parts of the eighth graphic novel.

Goodwin explained that he made sure the budget would be used for the final graphic novel and less would be used for the first eight episodes of the season.

Casting[edit | edit source]

Main cast members Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Nicolet, Kayla Compton and Brandon McKnight return as Barry Allen / The Flash,^[38] Iris West-Allen,^[45] Cecile Horton,^[46] Allegra Garcia^[1] and Chester P. Runk.^[47] Jesse L. Martin, who portrayed Joe West throughout the series, exited as a regular, though he was expected to recur in the season.^[48] In October 2022, Jon Cor was promoted to series regular for the season.^[49]

Danielle Panabaker, who portrayed Caitlin Snow and Frost in previous seasons, was reported to be returning,^[1] but was later confirmed to be playing a new character whose identity was later revealed in the second episode.^[50] Ahead of this, Panabaker stated that this character would be called Snow at the beginning of the season;^[51] Snow was later revealed to be using the name Khione.^[52] Carlos Valdes was unable to reprise his role as Cisco Ramon / Vibe for the finale due to scheduling conflicts with his starring role in the Hulu series Up Here.^[53]

Katee Sackhoff, who played Amunet Black in the fourth season, expressed interest in returning for the ninth season, but wasn't invited back to the show for reasons unknown, which Sackhoff theorize as some involved in the show's production not liking her.^[54]

Filming[edit | edit source]

Filming began on September 14, 2022,^[55] and concluded on March 6, 2023.^[56]

Release[edit | edit source]

The season premiered on February 8, 2023,^[1] and the finale aired on May 24, 2023.^[57]

-  | ShortSummary    = The Rogues attack CCPD and capture Kramer. While rescuing Mark, Barry is attacked by Red Death, who drains his speed and creates psychic extensions of herself around the world with help from [[Gorilla Grodd (Arrowverse)|Gorilla Grodd]]. Khione learns that she can still help Team Flash without powers and wakes Mark with a kiss. After talking with Joe, Barry goes to Grodd, who joined Red Death because he felt abandoned after finding that the gorillas of [[Gorilla City]] had lost their sentience and were scattered following the [[Crisis on Infinite Earths (Arrowverse)|Crisis]]. After Barry agrees to help Grodd restore his community, Grodd restores Barry's speed and dispels Red Death's doubles. With help from Hartley's group and the main timeline's Batwoman, Barry defeats Red Death and has her remanded to [[A.R.G.U.S.]] custody. Two weeks later, Joe moves to the countryside with Jenna. At his farewell party, Chester and Allegra begin dating and Khione announces Iris's pregnancy, which wasn't supposed to begin for another three months.
+  | ShortSummary    = Barry is overpowered by the Godspeed clones and realises that they are running out of time to save Central City from its impending doom. Zoom reveals his return and injures Barry, before escaping. Barry manages to get back to S.T.A.R. Labs and loses the feeling in his legs. Bart helps Barry recover using Speed Force energy and the three speedsters, including a revived Wally face off against Zoom, Savitar, Red Death, Godspeed, and his clones. The speedsters go to Speed Force Nora to disable the clones, while Barry defeats Savitar, Godspeed, and Red Death, having Red Death and Godspeed taken into A.R.G.U.S. custody whilst the others are returned to their respective times. Iris reveals that she is pregnant. Allegra and Chester choose to remain as friends, with the former leaving Central City to start anew. In 2049, a man resembling Eddie Thawne is struck by lightning at Mercury Labs, finds a file about Eddie's death, and wonders who he is.

-  | ShortSummary    = [[Rebecca Sharpe (Arrowverse)|Rebecca Sharpe]], who is alive on [[Crisis on Infinite Earths (Arrowverse)|Earth-Prime]], is framed for attacking her fiancé Dominic Stewart. Cecile and Allegra work to prove her innocence, but Rebecca is kidnapped by people with dark matter refractors that deflect Allegra's and Cecile's abilities. Cecile also misses her train to Joe's and worries about being far from Jenna, but Allegra consoles her.

Khione tells him that Frost lives on in his memories and conjures a snowfall. The next morning, Dominic wakes, Cecile invites Allegra to move into Joe's house, and Team Flash has a baby shower.

-  | ShortSummary    = [[Nia Nal]] has been searching for an ancient source of Naltorian dream energy. She loses her powers to a hooded robed figure while in a nightmare involving Iris and goes to Central City for help. Iris realizes that her article on the Red Death is the Pulitzer-winning article from the map book, and questions if she's following destiny instead of making her own choices. After Nia and Iris get pulled into a dream, Nia helps Iris realize that destiny is not one choice, but the result of a lifetime of several choices. Iris helps Nia realize that to increase her potential, she needs to, [[paradoxically]], give up control. After doing so, Nia meets the spirit of the first Naltorian with dream abilities, who promises to teach her. They wake, and Iris publishes her article. Meanwhile, Mark takes Khione out to do activities that he did with Frost, ignoring all of Khione's ideas. She realizes that Mark still only sees her as Frost and leaves. Later, Mark apologizes to Khione and decides to leave Central City, causing Khione to inadvertently freeze Cecile's banquet out of sadness.

-  | ShortSummary    = Barry, Iris, and a group of [[United States Department of Energy|D.O.E.]] agents inspecting S.T.A.R. Labs get trapped in the speed lab. When Barry notes that a "time magnet" will be stored in the Flash Museum in 2123, the group deduces that one of them must have stolen the magnet from the future without its stabilizer, trapping them in the same moment. As one of the agents is replaced by a statue, the group realizes that exposure to the time magnet will eventually kill them.
