The Flash is an American

the Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds. It is a spin-off of Arrow, existing in the same fictional universe known as the Arrowverse. The series premiered in the United States on The CW on October 7, 2014, and ran for nine seasons until May 24, 2023. The series follows Barry Allen, portrayed by Grant Gustin
, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, along with others who have also gained superhuman abilities.

Initially envisioned as a

backdoor pilot, the positive reception Gustin received during two appearances as Barry on Arrow led to executives choosing to develop a full pilot to make use of a larger budget and help flesh out Barry's world in more detail. The series is primarily filmed in Vancouver
, British Columbia, Canada.

The Flash's premiere on October 7, 2014 became the second-most watched pilot in the history of The CW, after

People's Choice Award for "Favorite New TV Drama" in 2014. The series, together with Arrow, has spun characters out to their own show, Legends of Tomorrow
, which premiered on January 21, 2016.

Production

Development

On July 30, 2013, it was announced that

backdoor pilot for the new show. Kreisberg added that Allen would be a forensic scientist and the introduction of his superpowers, as well as the reactions to this, will be very human and grounded. Johns stated that the character of the Flash in the show would resemble his comic book counterpart, complete with his trademark red costume, and not be a poor imitation. Kreisberg elaborated: "No sweat suits or strange code names; he will be The Flash." While researching the best way to depict the Flash's lightning speed, Johns stated it would not just be the standard "blurring around".[37]

Barry ultimately appeared twice in Arrow's second season, with the planned backdoor pilot cancelled in favor of a traditional pilot by The CW executives, who had been impressed by early cuts of Barry's first two episodes on Arrow. This allowed the creative team to flesh out Barry's story and his world on a bigger budget, as opposed to a backdoor pilot's constraint of incorporating characters from the parent show. The pilot was officially ordered on January 29, 2014, and was written by Berlanti, Kreisberg, and Johns, and directed by Nutter.[38][39] On May 8, 2014, The Flash was officially picked up as a series, with an initial order of 13 episodes.[40] Three more scripts were ordered in September 2014 following a positive response to newly completed episodes by executives,[41] while a back ten was ordered the next month for a full 23-episode season.[42]

With the commencement of production on the series' second season, former Arrow and Ugly Betty writer Gabrielle Stanton was promoted to executive producer and showrunner; after having served as consulting producer and writer on the first season's finale "Fast Enough".[43] However, it was later reported that Kreisberg would be returning to sole showrunner duties at an unspecified time.[44] That time was later proved to be at the start of 2016, "Potential Energy", when Stanton was no longer credited as being involved with the show. In May 2017, it was reported that Aaron Helbing would be departing the series. Helbing had served as a writer since the first season, and as co-showrunner, along with his brother Todd and Kreisberg, since the second.[45] In 2019, Todd departed as showrunner, and Eric Wallace, who had been co-executive producer since the fourth season, was promoted to the sole showrunner, effective from season six.[46]

On April 2, 2018, The CW renewed the series for a

fifth season, which premiered on October 9, 2018.[47][48] On January 31, 2019, The CW renewed the series for a sixth season,[49] which premiered on October 8, 2019.[50] On January 7, 2020, the series was renewed for a seventh season, which premiered on March 2, 2021.[51] In April 2020, Gustin, who had been contracted for seven seasons, said there had been discussions about renewing the series through a ninth season, but those were stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[52] On February 3, 2021, the series was renewed for an eighth season which premiered on November 16, 2021.[53][54] In late January 2022, Gustin was reported to be renewing his contract for a ninth season.[55] On March 22, 2022, The CW renewed the series for a ninth season.[56] On August 1, 2022, it was announced that the series will be concluding with its upcoming ninth season, and that the season would receive a 13-episode order.[57] The season premiered on February 8, 2023,[58] with the finale airing on May 24 of the same year.[59]

Design

The costume was designed by Colleen Atwood, who also designed the costumes for Arrow.[60] It features a burgundy color scheme, a masked helmet, and gold accents throughout,[61] and went through multiple adjustments from the moment it was placed in computer renderings to the day of filming the pilot.[13] Primarily made of leather, the suit contains areas with a stretchable material to allow Gustin room to bend. According to Atwood "It was all about a costume that could sell speed, Grant [Gustin] was continually moving in the suit, so it had to be designed to make that all happen visually and functionally."[62] It initially took Gustin approximately 40 minutes to get into his costume, as the first cowl was prosthetic and had to be zipped and glued to his face. This was cut down to approximately 15 minutes by episode eight, when designers were able to develop a new cowl that easily slid over Gustin's face and locked into place.[13] Maya Mani replaced Atwood as the costume designer for the second season and made slight changes to the Flash costume, such as changing the color of his crest from yellow to white, being faithful to the Flash costume from the comics.[63]

Filming

Production on the pilot began in March 2014, with filming taking place in Vancouver, British Columbia;[64] additional filming for the series takes place in Portland, Oregon.[65] On how action sequences are shot for the series, compared to Arrow, Gustin said, "When [Arrow] shoot[s] action sequences, pretty much what you see is what you get and they're really doing everything. We do a lot of plate shots that are empty shots of the area we're going to be in and then they're putting us in later in post. I do a lot of the fighting. I don't have to do it full speed and then they ramp it up and a lot of people have to freeze and I keep moving. Then I have to clear frame and step back into frame. It's really tedious stuff that we have to do. On theirs, they learn fight choreography and they shoot it from the perfect angles and what you see is what you get."[66] Production on the third season began in early July 2016.[67] On March 13, 2020, production on the sixth season was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[68] Season seven began filming in October 2020 and concluded on May 19, 2021.[69]

Music

Arrow composer Blake Neely is the primary composer of the series, and was first hired in April 2014 to score the pilot.[70][71] He had previously composed a theme for Barry Allen which was featured in Arrow's season two episodes "The Scientist" and "Three Ghosts". The theme was titled "The Scientist" when it was released on the Arrow: Season 2 soundtrack. According to Neely, "It had to be different [from Arrow]... but it also couldn't be so different that it couldn't fit in the Arrow universe,... it had to be in a style that could hold hands with Arrow."[72] On December 18, 2014, WaterTower Music released a selection of music from The Flash/Arrow crossover episodes, as well as two bonus tracks from their respective 2014 midseason finales.[73] The first season, two-disc soundtrack was released on October 16, 2015.[74] The second season's soundtrack was released digitally on July 22, 2016,[75] and in CD format on July 26, 2016.[76] Season 3 saw two soundtrack releases. The first was for the episode "Duet", which featured six songs from the episode and a guitar version of the last song "Running Home to You". It was released on March 21, 2017.[77] The overall soundtrack was released on October 10, 2017.[78] The score of the "Crisis on Earth-X" crossover released on June 15, 2018,[79] and the season four soundtrack was released on March 15, 2019.[80] The soundtracks for seasons five and six, and of the crossovers "Elseworlds"[81] and "Crisis on Infinite Earths",[82] were not released until February 26 and March 5, 2021, ahead of the seventh season's premiere.[83][84] A soundtrack for the five-episode "Armageddon" event that began the show's eighth season was released on March 4, 2022.[85] A soundtrack for the last three seasons was released on May 26, 2023.[86]

Sound design

The sound design for the series is handled by Mark Camperell. The sound effect for Barry is made up of elements of thunder, electricity, jets, fireballs, and various custom whooshes and impacts. Speaking about designing the sound for the Flash's ability, Mark says: "My approach for the sounds of the Flash's ability was to editorially treat him like a really aggressively driven hot rod. This doesn't mean that I used car sounds for him, though. What I mean is that when thinking about how to edit his sounds, I thought about it like cutting a car chase."[87]
