The CW has promised "an epic final season, filled with plenty of twists, guest stars and surprises that will delight every fan."
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) have reconnected, but the nefarious Rogues are infiltrating Central City. Barry faces them with the help of the team: scientist Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), meta-empath Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet), the light-powered meta Allegra Garcia (Kayla Compton), brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (Brandon McKnight) and reformed cryogenics thief Mark Blaine (Jon Cor).
But aside from the Rogues, a deadly new adversary challenges Barry's heroic legacy. He and Team Flash will be tested in their greatest battle yet.
