What Will Be the Focus?

Throughout the eighth season of the show, viewers should expect the unexpected.

It has already been established that Season 8 of “The Flash” will kick off with a massive five-episode long crossover event, but according to Deadline, this crossover will be unlike any other crossover or multiverse arc the show has previously undertaken. According to the source, it “will include a variety of heroes from the CW universe.”

In an interview with Deadline, CW CEO Mark Pedowitz explained that the event will involve a series of five crossover episodes involving “The Flash” and other CW-based superhero shows, but that the episodes will not be part of a larger storey arc.

Despite the fact that there will not be a true crossover, “it will have a crossover-type vibe to it, as well as the introduction of all these characters,” he explained. It’s possible that “Superman and Lois” and “Stargirl” will be among the programmes with which “The Flash” will cross over in the future.

Other than that, it’s likely that the super team of speedsters will continue to operate as usual. And for fans of the programme, this is unquestionably a positive development.
