The show is based on the eponymous hero from DC Comics. Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns are credited with developing the comic book series for television. While it quickly outpaced its predecessor, The Flash is in fact a spin-off from Arrow, both of which are part of the Arrowverse. When it comes to a conclusion at the end of Season 9, The Flash will have been one of the longest running shows on The CW.

"Nine seasons! Nine years of saving Central City while taking audiences on an emotional journey full of heart, humor, and spectacle," Executive Producer Eric Wallace said in a statement to Variety. "And now Barry Allen has reached the starting gate for his last race. So many amazing people have given their talents, time, and love to bring this wonderful show to life each week.”

Wallace thanked the cast and crew for all of their effort. “So, as we get ready to honor the show's incredible legacy with our exciting final chapter, I want to say thank you to our phenomenal cast, writers, producers, and crew over the years who helped make The Flash such an unforgettable experience for audiences around the
