THE FLASH Season 9 With Grant Gustin Has Target Mid-September Filming Start in Vancouver
The Flash had a muted presence at San Diego Comic Con last weekend –.just a few billboards outside the convention centre with fellow CW show Superman & Lois.
But season 9 of filming is coming in what looks to be a shortened 13 episode run.
Target filming dates: September 14 2022 – March 6 2023.
What’s ahead for Grant Gustin’s speedster?
We left Barry relaxing on the couch with his wife Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton), after a long separation.

And talking about how the Negative Speed Force will find a new avatar eventually now that Tom Cavanagh’s Negative Reverse Flash is dead.

Looks like it will be sooner rather than later as we jumped ahead to the year 2049 and a glowing blue crystal in a lab..

Does this mean the return of Savitar?

Correction: Or could it be a nod to supervillain Cobalt Blue?

If so, fans want to see Rick Cosnett cast in the role.
To be updated.
