The Flash Season 4:New Episodes,Release Date,Cast,Villain And Everything You Must know

The Flash's Barry Allen may have reached
the 'Finish Line', but is this the end of his
journey? Not a bit of it. Our TV screens will
be getting another injection of the 'Speed
Force' very soon indeed when the Scarlet
Speedster returns for another season of
adventures.









Here's everything we know so far about
The Flash season 4, starting with the most
important question:

when can we see it?

The Flash season 4 release date: When
will it air?
The CW has confirmed that The Flash will
return to its schedules this autumn/fall.
Going by previous years, it's a safe bet
that season 4 will launch in the first week
of October 2017.






As is standard, Sky1 will follow suit a
couple of weeks later in the UK.


The Flash season 4 cast: Who will star?

-The following cast have been confirmed
as returning next season:
Grant Gustin as Barry Allen / The Flash
Candice Patton as Iris West
Danielle Panabaker as Dr. Caitlin Snow
Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon / Vibe
Keiynan Lonsdale as Wally West / Kid
Flash
Jesse L. Martin as Detective Joe West
Tom Felton as Julian Albert
Tom Cavanagh as ?


You'll notice that, while Tom Cavanagh's
involvement is confirmed, it's yet to be
revealed who he'll be playing.

The first season of The Flash saw him play
both Harrison Wells and Eobard Thawne /
Reverse Flash disguised as Wells.


In season two, Cavanagh portrayed Wells's

Earth-2 doppelganger, an irritable but
good-hearted scientist nicknamed 'Harry'
to distinguish him from his predecessor.


Season three introduced yet another
variant – 'H.R.' Wells from Earth-19 – but
the chirpy novelist was killed off in this
year's finale, 'Finish Line'.


In all likelihood, then, season four will
either reintroduce Cavanagh as Harry full-
time (the character currently resides back
on Earth-2) or will introduce a fourth
major version of the Wells character.


'Finish Line' also saw Dr. Caitlin Snow
depart Team Flash – the bio-engineer had
been struggling to cope with gaining
meta-human powers, losing control of her
emotions and briefly turning to the dark
side as the villainous Killer Frost.


By the end of the third season, Caitlin
turned her back on her wicked ways, but
didn't feel ready to return to S.T.A.R. Labs,
opting to spend some time on her own
away from her friends. What will her state
of mind be, heading into season four?


The Flash season 4 episodes: What
happens next?

Below is the official synopsis for season 4.

It was released – notably – in mid-May,
prior to 'Finish Line' airing. As such, it's
pretty scant on detail (and actually
contains some details which now appear
to be out of date).


Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal
life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the
Central City Police Department. Barry's life
changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs
Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a
dark-matter lightning storm that struck
Barry, bestowing him with super-speed
and making him the fastest man alive The
Flash.


But when Barry used his extraordinary
abilities to travel back in time and save his
mother's life, he inadvertently created an
alternate timeline known as Flashpoint; a
phenomenon that gave birth to the
villainous speed god known as Savitar,
and changed the lives of Caitlin Snow
(Danielle Panabaker) and Wally West
(Keiynan Lonsdale) forever.


With the help of his adoptive father, Joe
West (Jesse L. Martin), his lifelong best
friend and love interest Iris West (Candice
Patton), and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs —
Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), C.S.I Julian
Albert (Tom Felton), and an Earth-19
novelist named H.R. Wells (Tom Cavanagh)
— Barry continues to protect the people
of Central City from the meta-humans that
threaten it.

The finale also left Barry in a precarious
position.

With the Speed Force having
grown unstable, our hero decided to
enter the energy field himself – as
penance for having created Flashpoint –
leaving his loved ones behind, apparently
for good.


The next 23 episodes will have to start by
bringing Barry back, with fans speculating
that season 4 could tackle the Rebirth
storyline from the comic books, just as
season 3 adapted Flashpoint.
