The Flash Has Been Given A New Slot For 2022!
The CW announced a new slot for The Flash for the year 2022. Season 8 of The Flash premieres on November 16th; Tuesday at 8 pm ET/PT. However, following the midseason finale, the show will be shifting to Wednesdays from March 9, 2022.
The Flash Season 8 will kick off with a five-part “Armageddon” event!
The Flash showrunner Eric Wallace said, “Simply put, these are going to be some of the most emotional Flash episodes ever. And we’re doing them on a scale that’s bigger and bolder than our traditional Flash episodes. So yes, ‘Armageddon’ is a lot more than just another graphic novel storyline. It’s going to be a true event for Flash and Arrowverse fans, old and new. Honestly, I can’t wait for audiences to see what we’ve got planned.”
In addition to the core members of Team Flash, Armageddon is set to feature familiar Arrowverse heroes such as Batwoman, The Atom, Black Lightning, Sentinel, Mia Queen, and villains like Reverse-Flash and Damien Darhk. The event is also set to bring longtime DC villain Despero into the Arrowverse which will mark the character’s first live-action appearance as well. Jay Garrick and Eddie Thawne are also set to return to the series.
The CW Chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz, back in May when “Armageddon” was teased said, “The idea for The Flash is Eric Wallace and Greg Berlanti have come together, and we’re talking about other superheroes from the CW-verse that will come together in each individual episodes. It will not quite be a crossover, but it will have a crossover-type feel with the introduction of all these characters.”
Season 8 of The Flas will also continue the show’s tradition of improving upon Barry Allen’s suit. This time, the improvement will come in the form of a pair of comics-accurate gold boots.
Grant Gustin has also recently described the footwear as “the final element that’s been missing. I’ve loved all the versions of The Flash suit we’ve had on the show, but the suit we have now is the closest to the many iterations you see in the comic books—with the exception of those gold boots! I’ve always felt that those boots would be the final touch.”
