The Flash starts filming season 8 on August 16th in Vancouver with five “crossover-style” special event episodes that will premiere November 16th on The CW.
What are these special event episodes?
The idea for The Flash is …other superheroes from the CWverse…will come together in each [of the] individual episodes. It will not quite be a crossover, but it will have a crossover-type feel with the introduction of all these characters. — Chairman & President Mark Pedowitz at The CW Press Conference.
Various heroes from the Arrowverse, or the CWverse as The CW calls it, will visit The Flash in the first five episodes of season 8.
