The Flash is based on the character Barry Allen, also known as the superhero The Flash, created by DC Comics.

In the series, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) is a forensic expert for the Central City Police Department. One day, Barry is struck by a bolt of lightning from a particle accelerator explosion and gives Barry superspeed. Over time, Barry learns to harness his power and begins using his power for god as Central City’s new superhero.

The Flash is a spin-off of The CW’s Arrow, which is based on another DC Comics character, the Green Arrow. And, lucky for us, several main characters from Arrow, including Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), and John Diggle (David Ramsey), make some appearances in The Flash.

The first six seasons of the series are now streaming on Netflix. The seventh season is slated for a January 2021 premiere. It will be added to Netflix in July 2021.
