Some old faces, both friendly and unfriendly, will return for the final season of The Flash on The CW, currently airing.

John Wesley Shipp and Teddy Sears are both set to appear during the last season of The Flash, reprising their respective roles as Jay Garrick and Hunter Zolomon. Shipp was previously seen in the series finale of Stargirl as the seasoned speedster whereas Sears hasn’t appeared in the series since the second season. The duo will be joining an all-star ensemble featuring iconic Arrowverse alumni like Wally West, Ryan Wilder, John Diggle and Oliver Queen.

The showrunner of The Flash, Eric Wallace, commented:

As one of our most memorable villains ever, he scared and delighted audiences in Season 2. And now, I’m happy to announce that the brilliant Teddy Sears is coming back as the evil Zoom aka Hunter Zolomon for one more battle against Team Flash. It’s a reunion I’ve been hoping could happen for several seasons, and now I’m so excited that we were finally able to bring Teddy and incredible talents back into our Flash Family for our epic and emotional ninth season. So, get ready to be frightened again, Flash fans!

In regards to the return of John Wesley Shipp as Jay Garrick, Eric Wallace teased his involvement discreetly.

Flash fans have loved John Wesley Shipp’s heroic and heartwarming portrayals on our show since its inception,” Wallace notes. “So, it’s a huge honor to have John back as part of our epic final season. This time, John lent his incredible talents to an incredibly emotional story — one that sheds new light on Barry Allen’s tragic past.
