The Flash (The CW)

The Flash is an upcoming pilot spin-off of Arrow.

Originally, the twentieth episode of Arrow ' s second season was going to act as a backdoor pilot, and should it be popular enough the series would be greenlit. However, after CW executives saw and, Barry's premiere episodes on Arrow, they made the call to order the series straight to pilot.

Grant Gustin will portray Dr. Barry Allen/The Flash in the eponymous lead role. The series will be written by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns.
