The Flash, American superhero action-drama series, commenced its beautiful journey in 2014. Developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns, the series is based on the Dc comic character first premiered on CW. The series revolves around the protagonist Barry Allen. He acquired super-human speed after the explosion in the STAR Lab. He became famous as a Superhero named Flash to tackle crime in the city. The series became globally popular and created a huge fan base since its release. The showrunners have produced seven successful seasons so far, having a total of 151 episodes. The power-packed season 7 concluded on July 20, 2021. Not much time has elapsed, and fans already have started craving for The Flash season 8. CW Network has not left the fans in dismay. The Network had renewed the Flash Season 8 in February 2021, before The Flash season 7.
Wallace, one of the executive producers, teased the fans with few insights. Let us find out what the showrunner has for us in Season 8.
Flash Season 8 Release Date
CW Network Officially confirmed the release date of The Flash season 8. It is set to premiere on November 16, 2021, on Tuesday at 8 PM. However, we expect a delay in the premiere of the series. The production of the film has not begun yet. It will commence in Mid August 0f 2021. So, it will be impossible to premiere the series on November 16, 2021. We guess it will hit the screen somewhere in mid-2022.

CW Network has confirmed the return of a few cast members in The Flash Season 8. It includes-
- Grant Gustin as Barry
- Candice Patton as Iris,
- Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow
- Jesse L. Martina as Joe West.

The Plot
The showrunners have put the plot of season 8 under the wraps. We know about the next season that the first episode will be a crossover of five episodes. However, we can guess the potential narrative from the finale of Flash season 7.
At the finale of The Flash Season 7, We saw Barry together with his wife, Iris, and their children, Jay, Nora, Bart, and the speed force fought against the Godspeed. They successfully defeated him and locked him up in Iron Height. However, Barry had to restore his enemy, the Reverse-Flash, to defeat him. Further, Iris had her dream of weeding with Barry by exchanging vows. Will they always be happy?
Well, the contrary seems from the statement of Eric Wallace. While Speaking to TVLine, he stated that Barry and Iris seemed happy but, they still have to face the greatest challenge of their life. We also have to find out ‘What’s up with Iris time sickness? He teased that the upcoming season will be going to be amazing.
We will likely see the reentry of villains from the past.
