After what feels like a lonely few months in the Multiverse, the time is finally drawing near for our favourite The CW series to return. The first of those series will The Flash, which returns to screens on February 8 for its landmark ninth (and final) season.
It has been confirmed that the ninth episode of the final season will see three familiar faces reprising their roles. David Ramsey (John Diggle), Kieynan Lonsdale (Wally West) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Bloodwork) are all set to appear.
“As one of the legacy Arrowverse characters who helped start it all, John Diggle holds a special place in our hearts, as well as the fans.” said executive producer Eric Wallace. “Plus, the commanding presence and commitment to excellence actor/director David Ramsey brings to the screen each-and every time is truly inspiring. So, of course, it was a no-brainer to have Diggle join Team Flash in our final season! So, get ready for a very emotional reunion as John Diggle aka Spartan helps protect Central City alongside Team Flash one, last time.”
Speaking of Lonsdale’s return, Wallace says “as soon as we knew he was coming back, we set out to create a special and heartfelt story for his return. The result is a brilliant performance from Keiynan that showcases a side of Wally West you’ve never seen before.”
The CW has also dropped a brand new poster for the final season. The simple artwork (below) shows off the character’s signature gold boots alongside the tag line “the final run”. The poster also reminds us that the series has now moved to Wednesday nights for this victory lap.
The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West-Allen, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, Brandon McKnight as Chester P. Runk and Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton. The series returns on February 8, 2023.
