Will The Flash wrap following CW’s Crisis On Infinite Earths event?

The Crisis On Infinite Earths’ event immediately delivered on giving fans exactly what they wanted. Though, some unexpected events have us questioning how it’ll all end. What does this mean for The Flash?

Going into the Crisis On Infinite Earths‘ event, there were two major things worth knowing. The first being that the Multiverse was in danger. And the second was that Arrow‘s Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and The Flash‘s Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) would meet their ends. But now that we’re seeing how things are actually playing out, it might not be true.

Warning! Spoilers ahead.

While Dec. 8’s episode of Supergirl did end with the Green Arrow’s death, it probably won’t be permanent. The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) pointed out that Oliver wasn’t supposed to die under those circumstances. This means his dark predictions aren’t fated to happen. More evidence can be found in the previous episode of Arrow, where Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) lost his right arm. It’s not particularly important but the maiming confirms that the future isn’t set in stone.

ForThe Flash, this means Barry Allen doesn’t have to die either. Barry’s mortality has been the subject of much debate for a majority of Season 6, but seeing as how the heroes have already altered the future in one way or another, that implies every other event can be changed as well. And if that is the case, the Scarlet Speedster can keep running.

Speculative points aside, The Flash is far from over. There’s been no word of cancellation from The CW and each past season has comprised of 22 episodes. Only 10 episodes have aired so far this year, which means there’s more to come in 2020. That is assuming Season 6 consists of the same number of episodes.

Whatever the case may be, news outlets and fans alike don’t expect The CW to cancel both The Flash and Arrow all at once. Arrow has run its course and is certainly nearing the end, but The Flash still has miles to go.

Kevin Smith said it best on Crisis Aftermath and it’s that audiences will continue watching more seasons of Barry Allen running around Central City, even if it is whilst fighting yet another villainous speedster. And we can’t argue with his reasoning.

Crisis On Infinite Earths continues with The Flash tonight. Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow’s crossover episodes will air in January 2020.
