The fifth season of the American television series The Flash, which is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, premiered on The CW on October 9, 2018 and is set to consist of 22 episodes.[1] The season follows Barry, a crime scene investigator with superhuman speed who fights criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities, as he deals with the consequences of his future daughter's time traveling. It is set in the Arrowverse, sharing continuity with the other television series of the universe, and is a spin-off of Arrow. The season is produced by Berlanti Productions, Warner Bros. Television, and DC Entertainment, with Todd Helbing serving as showrunner.

Cast and characters

Guest

Production

Development

At the Television Critics Association winter press tour in January 2018, The CW president Mark Pedowitz said he was "optimistic" and "confident" about The Flash and the other Arrowverse shows returning next season, but added that it was too soon to announce anything just yet.[36] On April 2, The CW renewed the series for its fifth season.[37] Todd Helbing, who had previously served as a co-showrunner for the series' first four seasons, emerged as the series' first sole showrunner following Andrew Kreisberg's firing during the previous season.[38][39]

Writing

In October 2017, Kevin Smith revealed that then-executive producer Andrew Kreisberg already had plans for the next season of the show and had told him the story for The Flash's fifth season, which got Smith very excited and jokingly commenting, "I now have to stay alive one more year."[40]

At San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Todd Helbing revealed that "legacy" would be a theme during the season, adding, "I think everybody's thinking about what it means after they leave." On the arrival of Barry and Iris' future daughter, Nora, Grant Gustin teased the different headspaces the characters would be in. "[Nora]’s kind of attached to [Barry] when she arrives and a little more distant with Iris," Gustin said. "It's a weird thing for Iris to see them bond so easily... obviously something happened in the future, which worries Iris," added Candice Patton. The season also sees Barry, Ralph, and Iris returning to their professional careers as a CSI, detective, and journalist, respectively. Patton noted that, "We live in such precarious times where we don't know what the truth is... I feel like [journalists] are superheroes... I hope that's a concept we bring to the show and give journalists the praise they deserve."[41]

Helbing also revealed that there will be "a lot of deaths this season," and that the main antagonist would not be a speedster for the second season in a row. The new antagonist, Cicada, instead possesses powers that "present a challenge for Team Flash that they’ve never had to deal with before." He is not a cult leader as he is in the comics, but is portrayed as a "grizzled, blue-collar everyman whose family has been torn apart by metahumans" and who views the rise of metas as an epidemic, and seeks to exterminate them one by one.[42][43]

Casting

Main cast members Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, and Jesse L. Martin return from previous seasons as Barry Allen / Flash, Iris West, Caitlin Snow / Killer Frost, Cisco Ramon / Vibe and Joe West, respectively.[44] Tom Cavanagh also returned as a series regular, playing a new version of his character Harrison Wells,[45] known as Sherloque Wells.[46] Cavanagh also portrays Herr Wells of Earth-12 in the episode "The Death of Vibe",[47] Harry Wells of Earth-2, and Eobard Thawne in the episode "What's Past Is Prologue".[48] The fifth season is the first not to feature Keiynan Lonsdale, who plays Wally West / Kid Flash, as a series regular since his introduction in the second season, following the character's move to Legends of Tomorrow during the previous season and Lonsdale's subsequent departure from that show as well.[49] He will appear only in three episodes, including the season premiere.[50][51] In June 2018, Danielle Nicolet, Hartley Sawyer, and Jessica Parker Kennedy, who recurred during the previous season as Cecile Horton, Ralph Dibny / Elongated Man, and Nora West-Allen, respectively, were promoted to series regulars for the fifth season.[52][53] Nicolet had additionally guest-starred at the end of the first season and had been recurring in the series since the third season.[54] The season establishes that Nora's alias is XS, making her an amalgamation of the XS from DC Comics, Jenni Ognats, and Barry and Iris' daughter in the comics, Dawn Allen.[55] In July, Chris Klein also joined the main cast as Orlin Dwyer / Cicada, the season's main antagonist.[42][56] In October, it was announced that Martin would take a "medical leave" from the series due to a back injury he sustained over the hiatus.[57]

Design

The season introduces a new Flash suit, which Todd Helbing described as the series' most "accurate incarnation" of the Flash suit from the comics. The season also introduces Barry's "Flash ring" from the comics.[58] The new suit adopts brighter colors than previous suits – which had maroon overtones – and, unlike prior incarnations, does not have a chin strap.[59]

Filming

Production for the season began on July 6, 2018, in Vancouver, British Columbia,[60] and is set to conclude on April 10, 2019.[14] Kevin Smith will direct an episode of the season.[15] Danielle Panabaker will make her directorial debut this season.[12] Tom Cavanagh directed the eighth episode of the season, which served as the 100th episode of the series and led into the annual crossover.[61] Due to Martin's back injury, the majority of his scenes were shot depicting Joe seated.[62]

Arrowverse tie-ins

In May 2018, Arrow star Stephen Amell announced at The CW upfronts that the next Arrowverse crossover would feature Batwoman and Gotham City. The crossover "Elseworlds" is slated to launch a 2019 solo series for the character.[63][64][65]

Release

Broadcast

The season premiered on The CW in the United States on October 9, 2018.[66] The annual crossover episode will swap time-slots with Supergirl for that week and will air on Sunday, December 9.[67]

Marketing

The main cast of the season as well as executive producer Todd Helbing attended San Diego Comic-Con on July 21, 2018 to promote the season.[44] Starting on September 14, 2018, several billboards advertising Ralph Dibny as a private investigator were seen around Vancouver, the city where the show is filmed.[68]

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 93% approval rating for the fifth season, with an average rating of 7.77/10 based on 79 reviews.[75]

Reviewing for Den of Geek, Mike Cecchini gave the premiere a rating of 4.5/5. He called it "a genuinely special episode" and "an excellent return to form for the series", naming it the best season premiere in the show’s history, while directing specific praise to Gustin, Kennedy, and the show's composer Blake Neely.[76] IGN's Jesse Schedeen also praised the addition of Kennedy, but expressed concern over the introduction of yet another speedster character, "especially with certain existing characters continuing to be so poorly served". He gave the episode a rating of 7.4/10, adding, "in a lot of ways, things do seem to be looking up for The Flash. Unfortunately, there are plenty of other reminders that the series has chronic difficulties in juggling its ensemble cast."[77] Chancellor Agard of Entertainment Weekly and Scott Von Doviak of The A.V. Club further praised Kennedy's performance, and gave the premiere a "B+" and "B" grade, respectively, with Agard concluding, "The Flash is now in its fifth season, which means the show’s accumulated history is one of its greatest strengths it has. I’m glad it’s finding both humorous fun and poignant ways to use it as we head towards the 100th episode."[78][79]

Notes

  1. ^ Cavanagh primarily portrays Harrison Sherloque Wells, in addition to Herr Wells of Earth-12, Harry Wells of Earth-2 and Eobard Thawne / Reverse-Flash in a less prominent capacity.
