Season 9 of The Flash will feature several familiar fan favorites from the series, including Kid Flash, Bloodwork, and Diggle. The Arrowverse is preparing to say goodbye to what is the longest-running series in the entire franchise. After playing Barry Allen for nearly a decade, Grant Gustin reprises his role as the Scarlet Speedster for another season. The Flash will return for a shortened final season with just 13 episodes, making it the shortest episode of the entire show. The series will be the last Earth-Prime show in the Arrowverse series.
With less than two months to go before its season 9 premiere, The Flash season 9 is gearing up for its spectacular finale. The CW has announced that not one, but three fan-favorite characters from last season will be returning. Keiynan Lonsdale (Kid Flash), David Ramsey (John Diggle) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Bloodwork) will appear in Episode 9 of Season 9 of The Flash. Wally West was last seen in The Flash season 7, and Diggle appeared in the previous season. Bloodwork's return was teased in the Earth-Prime tie-in comic book earlier this year. Showrunner Eric Wallace's return to each character reads as follows:
DAVID RAMSEY as John Diggle aka Spartan: “As one of the legacy Arrowverse characters who helped start it all, John Diggle holds a special place in our hearts, as well as the fans. Plus, the commanding presence and commitment to excellence actor/director David Ramsey brings to the screen each-and every time is truly inspiring. So, of course, it was a no-brainer to have Diggle join Team Flash in our final season! So, get ready for a very emotional reunion as John Diggle aka Spartan helps protect Central City alongside Team Flash one, last time.” KEIYNAN LONSDALE as Wally West aka Kid Flash: “We’re so happy to reunite with the incredibly talented Keiynan Lonsdale as a part of The Flash’s final season. Because Kid Flash isn’t just another speedster—he’s a beloved part of our Team Flash family. So as soon as we knew he was coming back, we set out to create a special and heartfelt story for his return. The result is a brilliant performance from Keiynan that showcases a side of Wally West you’ve never seen before.” SENDHIL RAMAMURTHY as Ramsey Rosso aka Bloodwork: “Ever since Sendhil turned in such a brilliantly haunting and unforgettable performance as the tortured Ramsey Rosso in Season Six, we’ve been looking for a way to bring him back. We also knew we wanted to have Ramsey play a part in Flash’s final race. Fortunately, everything came together and now the villainous Bloodwork’s return will set into motion one of the Flash’s wildest and most emotional adventures yet.”
