The CW has set an 8pm February 8th premiere date for the ninth and final season of “The Flash,” with that episode to be followed at 9pm by the midseason return of “Kung Fu”.
After defeating the Reverse Flash once and for all, the thirteen-episode final season picks up one week later as Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) are reconnecting and grow closer than ever before.
When a deadly group of Rogues descend on Central City led by a powerful new threat, The Flash and his team must once again defy impossible odds to save the day. But as The Rogues are defeated, a deadly new adversary rises to challenge Barry Allen’s heroic legacy.
And in their greatest battle yet, Barry and Team Flash will be pushed to their limits in order to save Central City one last time.
CW’s Entertainment President Brad Schwartz says in a statement: “The Flash will be remembered as one of the greatest shows in the history of The CW, and everyone involved in its excellent nine-season run should be very proud. The team has delivered an epic final season, filled with plenty of twists, guest stars and surprises that will delight every fan. Now is the time to catch-up and enjoy this fantastic final ride alongside the fastest man alive.”
The end will arrive nearly ten years after the series premiered in October 2014 with the pilot drawing over 6.8 million viewers in final L+7 ratings.
