The Flash star Candice Patton has revealed that the sixth season of the Grant Gustin series picks up seconds after the season five finale.
Earlier this year, The Flash season five ended with Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen and Candice Patton’s Iris West grieving the loss of their daughter Nora West-Allen, played by Jessica Parker Kennedy. During a recent interview, Patton dropped new details about how the upcoming sixth season opens.
While speaking with ComicBook.com at San Diego Comic-Con, Candice Patton revealed that The Flash season six picks up moments after the show’s season five finale. Here’s what she told the site:
“Season 6 picks up like 10 seconds after Season 5 so Barry and Iris are still dealing with the loss of Nora, it’s very raw, it’s very fresh. We see them very early on, Episode 1, really grappling with how to deal with the loss of Nora so they can move forward in a healthy way and deal with the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths.”
Full details on the sixth season of Grant Gustin’s The Flash are currently under wraps, but Heroes alum Sendhil Ramamurthy has joined the cast as DC Comics villain Bloodwork. In the comics, Bloodwork is a Central City morgue employee and hemophiliac who developed the ability to transform his flesh into blood-like physiology after experimenting with blood properties. The new season has also been teased to include an antagonist who will be the most personal villain Grant Gustin’s The Flash has faced since Eobard Thawne.
The sixth season of Grant Gustin’s The Flash will also lead into The CW’s adaptation of the game-changing DC Comics storyline Crisis on Infinite Earths and the back-half of the season will deal with the fallout from the five-part crossover event. With Arrow coming to an end this fall after concluding its eight-episode final season, The Flash will also become The CW’s main DC Comics drama and Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen will seemingly lead the other Arrowverse superheroes forward.
The series stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen / The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow / Killer Frost, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon / Vibe, Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, Jesse L. Martin as Joe West, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton, and Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Dibny / Elongated Man.
The Flash season six premieres on October 8, 2019. Stay tuned for the latest news on the Grant Gustin series!
