Barry Allen might be the fastest man alive, but the executive at The CW is giving him serious competition by renewing The Flash for a ninth even when the eighth season is done airing. Yes, you read it right! It is now official; The Flash Season 9 is confirmed!
The Flash is an American superhero action series based on DC comics’ popular speedster. The created by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns debuted on The CW in October 2014. The show has managed its popularity and high viewership throughout eight seasons, and now fans are excited for The Flash Season 9.
The Flash Season 9: Receives Early Renewal
The eighth season of The Flash debuted on The CW on November 16, 2021, and the eight-season finale is set to air on April 13, 2022. However, even before the season finale, some really exciting has come for fans. The CW has officially confirmed that the series has already been renewed for The Flash Season 9.
In a statement given to the press Mark Pedowitz, chairman and CEO of The CW, said, “As we prepare for the 2022-23 season, these scripted series, along with the alternative series we renewed earlier. It will serve as the start of a solid foundation utilizing some of our most-watched series for us to build on for next year and beyond. These dramas are also important to our overall digital strategy, as they are some of our most streamed and socially-engaged programs.”
The renewal of the Flash is not surprising given that The Flash is considered by many the binding force that holds The CW’s Arrowverse together.
