The CW’s cancelation streak continues and no show is safe anymore. The Flash is the latest beloved series to fall victim to the network’s ongoing cancelation streak and it will end its run after nine amazing seasons next year.

Despite its enormous success, it was just a matter of time before The Flash got the boot. It joins a long list of legacy shows canceled by the CW in the past few months including Dynasty and Riverdale, but the network made sure to give them the proper send-off that they deserve.

The showrunner Eric Wallace confirmed its cancelation in an official statement and reflected on the unforgettable experience of making The Flash with its phenomenal cast and crew for almost a decade.

“Nine years of saving Central City while taking audiences on an emotional journey full of heart, humor, and spectacle… So many amazing people have given their talents, time, and love to bring this wonderful show to life each week,” said Wallace.

Grant Gustin is set to return as Barry Allan/The Flash after signing a one-year deal with the network a few months ago. The final season will feature 13 episodes and it’s set to premiere on the CW in 2023.
