Warner Brothers and ViacomCBS are shopping around the idea of selling The CW. What this means for all the DCTV properties is uncertain.

Three More Familiar Faces to Return for The Flash Season 9

One of the CW’s most renowned superhero shows, The Flash, is about to reach the finish line, and a few familiar faces will be returning to the series later this year!

Rick Cosnett, Matt Letscher and Jessica Parker Kennedy will be reprising their roles as Eddie Thawne, Eobard Thawne and Nora West-Allen respectively for The Flash’s final season. Cosnett previously played a close ally to Team Flash before he was ultimately killed off in the season one finale, and has had a few appearances since then. Meanwhile, Letscher has appeared throughout multiple Arrowverse installments such as Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow, and most recently returned to The Flash last season. Kennedy first debuted during the Crisis on Earth-X crossover before her identity was revealed to be the daughter of our titular hero who came back from the future to help save the day.

The showrunner of The Flash, Eric Wallace, released a few statements regarding these exhilarating announcements:

We're so excited to have Rick join us once more as we put together our final batch of emotional and thrilling episodes, it's especially wonderful as Rick was an integral part of the show's inaugural season. So having him return to help us conclude our show's incredible nine-year run was more than a privilege. It was a no-brainer. Having the incredibly gracious and talented Matt Letscher return for our final season was something we couldn't resist, so we created a very special story for him, one we've been excited to tell for a while, but couldn't until now. The result is a wild and bittersweet episode we hope fans — both old and new — will love. The Flash has always been a show about the importance of family, so having the incredible Jessica Parker Kennedy back as fan-favorite speedster XS was always in the cards. As the daughter of Barry and Iris, Jessica's already made an unforgettable mark on our show's history. And with her latest season 9 adventure, Jessica's taking her incredible portrayal of Nora West-Allen to even greater heights in a way the audience has never seen before.
