The Flash Season 8 Is About to Permanently & Emotionally Change Team Barry
The Flash season 8 is going to have a huge effect on Team Flash, as the showrunner teases the group will go through a permanent change. One of the most popular Arrowverse shows is finally back after an extensive hiatus following The Flash's "Armageddon" event.
