Season 9 of The Flash will start on The CW at some point, but it won’t be this month. When does the next episode of Scarlet Speedster air?
The CW is going through a time of rebranding. Nexstar has now bought the network, and in the coming months (or maybe years) there will be some kind of relaunch. And it all started when many of its best-known hits were taken off the air.
The Flash was one of the CW shows that didn’t get cut during the mass purge. It’s a veteran superhero show and the last linear Arrowverse series. It’s also the network’s biggest hit of all time, so it’s not surprising that it was picked up for a ninth season. Still, all good things must come to an end, and even Barry Allen can’t get around that rule. The Flash season 9 will be the last season of the show.
The fall TV season starts on The CW in October with DC’s Stargirl and shows like Kung Fu, Walker, The Winchesters, Walker: Independence, and more. However, season 9 of The Flash won’t be on that schedule.
The Flash Season 9 Release Date Predictions
According to bamsmackpow, Season 9 of The Flash will start on The CW in 2023. At the network’s Upfronts Presentation in May, it was said that veteran comic book shows like Flash, Superman, and Lois season 3, and Riverdale season 7 (which is also the last season of the show) will be put on hold until midseason.
Even though the network hasn’t said when its midseason shows usually start between January and March. In fact, The Flash is used to March because its seventh season and the second half of its eighth season both started in that month in 2021 and 2022.

This is just a guess, and as always, the best thing to do is wait for the network to say for sure. What we can say for sure is that the ninth season is already in production. Actor Grant Gustin recently said on social media that the cast and crew have already started working on episode 2.
Yes, we have to wait a while for season 9, but the good news is that it won’t be out until 2023, so you can start rewatching The Flash from the beginning right now!
And if you want more DC TV, DC’s Stargirl season 3 airs every Wednesday night at 8/7c on The CW.
