Will The Flash Get Any Arrowverse Spinoffs? Showrunner Responds
WARNING: This article includes SPOILERS from The Flash season 8 finale.
The Flash showrunner Eric Wallace talks about whether or not there will be any Arrowverse spinoff shows if season 9 ends up being the last one for the long-running series. The Arrowverse has been one of The CW's biggest franchises since 2012 when Arrow premiered. Following Arrow's debut, the DC drama launched multiple other spinoff shows, including The Flash. As of this week, The Flash season 8 has become the Arrowverse's longest-running series with a total of 171 episodes, surpassing Arrow's 170-episode run.
The Flash season 8 finale officially aired this week, wrapping up its 2-parter where Barry Allen took on the Negative Forces and Reverse-Flash. Not only did the Scarlet Speedster battle a leveled-up version of Eobard Thawne, but episode 20 of The Flash season 8 served as the end for the Reverse-Flash for the foreseeable future. The Flash finale also tackled Iris West-Allen's time-sickness once and for all. Despite having died last week, Iris returned in the last episode, with Candice Patton officially returning for The Flash season 9. That won't premiere until 2023, alongsideSuperman & Lois season 3. However, despite another season being locked in, The Flash is definitely closer to its ending than its beginning, with no news yet on if there will be a season 10.
