The Flash: New Characters Will Add to “Barry’s Journey” in Season 2
After a incredibly epic and memorable inaugural season, numerous fans are waiting for The Flash Season 2 to finally get here. This is compiled with the fact that there have already been numerous reveals of additional characters to the show, both good and bad. But as Gabrielle Stanton tells TV Line, this will still about Barry Allen.
“We didn’t want Barry to get lonely so we thought we’d bring in some more speedsters,” executive producer Gabrielle Stanton tells TVLine. “It’s always Barry’s journey. The Flash is always about Barry, but these people who come in will show us different ways that The Flash can be.”
Easily one of the reasons the first season of The Flash Flash was so good was the inclusion of Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash. We already know that Zoom (a longtime Flash villain) will be the big bad for Flash Season 2, but will he be different from Reverse Flash?
“Zoom is going to be very different in terms of motivation, in terms of what he wants from The Flash, in terms of why he’s doing what he’s doing,” the EP teases. “I know a lot of people are thinking, ‘[Professor Zoom and Reverse Flash] were so similar in the comics. What’s going to make them different?’ I guarantee no one will confuse him for one second with what we did last year. It’s actually much more different than people would think.”
It sounds exciting. Hopefully, Oct. 6th can get here soon so we can enjoy The Flash once again.
