An Arrowverse veteran, it has followed the adventures of Grant Gustin’s Scarlet Speedster for the last five years, documenting his journey from CSI to superhero. The current season has seen the DC Comics hero go up against villains like Bloodwork/Ramsey Rosso, Black Hole, Doctor Light and old nemesis Gorilla Grodd, and the show also took part in the Arrowverse’s Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover.
As each episode is filmed weeks in advance, the show will continue to air for the time being. Having just aired the fourteenth episode, the fifteenth episode “The Exorcism of Nash Wells” will air on The CW this Tuesday night, with the next episode presumably set to air the following week.
It’s unknown as to when the show will resume production.
