List of episodes

The first season of the American television series The Flash premiered on The CW on October 7, 2014, and concluded on May 19, 2015, after airing 23 episodes. The series is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds. It is a spin-off from Arrow, existing in the same fictional universe, and was produced by Berlanti Productions, Warner Bros. Television, and DC Entertainment, with Andrew Kreisberg serving as showrunner.

The series follows Allen, portrayed by Grant Gustin, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities. The season follows Barry getting his super speed from an accident caused by S.T.A.R. Labs who helps him fight criminals who also get powers from the same accident and helping Barry pursue his mother's killer the Reverse-Flash. Gustin is joined by main cast members Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Rick Cosnett, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh, and Jesse L. Martin. The Flash was picked up for a full season by The CW in October 2014, and filming took place primarily in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The series premiere was watched by 4.8 million viewers and had a 1.9 18–49 demographic rating, making it The CW's most watched and highest rated series premiere since The Vampire Diaries in 2009. It also became The CW's second-most watched series premiere ever, behind 90210, and the third-highest rated in the 18–49 demographic. The first season finished as the 118th ranked show, with an average viewership of 4.62 million, making it the most watched series ever on The CW, and also the highest rated series among men 18–49 and men 18+ ever on the network. The first season of The Flash received generally positive reviews from critics. Reviews for the series became increasingly positive as the season progressed, with the finale receiving critical acclaim. The series was renewed for a second season on January 11, 2015.[1]

1 1 "Pilot" Freddie Goodwin Freddie Goodwin December 1, 2025
Barry Allen, a forensic analyst for the CCPD still haunted by witnessing his mother Nora’s impossible murder and his father Henry’s wrongful imprisonment, is struck by a blue-white bolt of lightning when Mercury Labs’ experimental particle accelerator catastrophically explodes, sending a radiation wave across the city. After nine months in a coma, Barry wakes inside Mercury Labs under the care of Dr. Harrison Wells, bioengineer Caitlin Frost, and tech genius Cisco Ramon, who reveal the lightning rewrote his cells and granted him super-speed, hyper-reflexes, and rapid healing. As Barry struggles to resume work, a surge of strange crimes grips Central City, including targeted bank robberies driven by unnatural storms created by Clyde Mardon, a former pilot mutated into a weather-manipulating metahuman by the accelerator blast. Realizing the city has more victims—and threats—like him, Barry embraces his powers, dons a reinforced suit designed by Cisco, and teams with Detective Joe West to stop Mardon in a deadly confrontation that ends with Joe killing him to save Barry. Determined to use his abilities to protect the innocent and clear his father’s name, Barry adopts the identity of “The Flash,” unaware Wells is secretly studying him and monitoring a future headline predicting the Flash’s mysterious disappearance.
