"The Flash‘s" Barry Allen will get some sort of blast from his and wife Iris’ past, in the form of Rick Cosnett‘s Eddie Thawne.

TVLine can now officially confirm that Cosnett will be back… for a singular flashback episode that will air after the season-opening “Armageddon” event.

As an original cast member, Cosnett played CCPD Detective Eddie Thawne throughout all of Season 1, until Iris’ onetime fiancé ended his life in the Arrowverse series’ freshman finale (so as to prevent descendant Eobard’s existence).

Since then, Cosnett has reprised the role twice — in Season 2’s “Flash Back” (in which Barry travels back in time to consult with Dr. Wells) and Season 3’s “Into the Speed Force” (in which Eddie served as one avatar for the titular Speed Force).

Rick Cosnett to Return to "The Flash" for Multiple Episodes — But There's a Twist

Rick Cosnett is extending his forthcoming visit to "The Flash". He will recur in at least three installments, possibly embodying different characters — and may even appear in Season 9, if it is renewed.

“Rick’s been such a fantastic part of our Flash family since [Season 1]. And we have been looking for ways to bring him back to the show ever since,” showrunner Eric Wallace said in a statement to Deadline. “Fortunately, we’ve been able to do so now in Season 8. And Rick has been fantastic in bringing an exciting new side to his portrayal of ‘Eddie Thawne’ that both honors the character’s past, but also takes it somewhere unexpected.”
