How The Flash's "graphic novel"-style storytelling will be affected by the coronavirus shutdown

"Because this is The Flash, there’s a huge twist at the end of every season, and that twist is now kind of coming in the middle of the (start of the) season,” says showrunner Eric Wallace. “And that has really affected our storytelling for all of Season 7." Next season is expected to premiere in early 2021.

The Flash will react to recent "societal changes" via Jesse L. Martin's police captain character

"Joe’s story line this season is inspired by the societal changes happening in today’s world," showrunner Eric Wallace told EW about Martin's Central City Police Department captain character, without specifically mentioning the George Floyd protests or Black Lives Matter. "Because with everything we’re all waking up to each day in 2020, I felt there was a great opportunity here — even within our fantastical, family-oriented show — to comment indirectly on truths folks could easily recognize. And do so in an entertaining way."
