The Flash Show Star Confirms Season 9 Return Following Renewal

screenrant.com:

Following the official renewal of The Flash season 9, one of the show's stars confirms their return for the next season. The future of the Arrowverse, which is turning ten-years-old as of this October, was cast in doubt earlier this year. The CW normally renews most of their series for another season around late-January/early-February, but 2022 was a different story. In a surprise reveal, the public learned that WarnerMedia and Paramount, who are the owners of The CW, were putting the network up for sale. Because of this move, the renewal process became significantly delayed, including for The Flash.

However, after a lot of waiting, The CW finally made the call this month by officially announcing their first set of renewals, with The Flash being one of two Arrowverse shows renewed for 2022/23. While Arrow has held the title as the Arrowverse's longest-running series, The Flash season 9 will officially claim that title as of this year. For the time being, it hasn't been clarified by The CW if The Flash season 9 will be the last one; currently, Grant Gustin's new contract has him attached for one year, which includes a salary raise for The Flash star.

Since Gustin is attached for The Flash season 9, what other actors are expected to be back next year?

Runk, confirms his role in The Flash season 9 in a chat with Decider. McKnight mentions what a relief it was to finally get the official news, after months of whispers about The Flash's future, sharing the following:
