The Flash | Season 6 Poster

The Flash looks to have a slightly-remodeled mask on the new poster touting season 6.

Watch for the show to return October 8 on The CW.

For season 6 of The Flash, Sendhil Ramamurthy joins the cast as Dr. Ramsey Rosso, better known to comic fans as Bloodwork. The doctor frowns on the self-proclaimed heroes of central city and wants to rid the world of death itself. But Bloodwork's megalomania is just the beginning of Team Flash's trouble. The Crisis on Infinite Earths, which has long promised to be the end of The Flash has accelerated its time table and occurs this season. Furthermore, new villains emerge, like a new Mirror Master, as well as old foes like The Reverse Flash and Gorilla Grodd returning.

The Flash is based on the DC Comics character of the same name.

Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. Barry’s life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry, bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive — The Flash. After thinking he and his wife Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton) could finally enjoy being newlyweds, they discover their future daughter Nora West-Allen (Jessica Parker Kennedy), who is a speedster known as XS, travelled back in time to heroically fight by her father’s side and stop the one villain The Flash is destined to never defeat, the meta-serial killer Cicada (Chris Klein). The Flash and XS rely on the help of Team Flash, which includes super heroes Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), Ralph Dibny (Hartley Sawyer), master-detective Sherloque Wells (Tom Cavanagh) and The Flash’s adoptive father Joe West (Jesse L. Martin) and his girlfriend Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet) to finally stop Cicada, save The Flash’s legacy, and discover the truth about the evil mastermind who’s pulling manipulative strings through time.

Based on the characters from DC, The Flash is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Eric Wallace and Sarah Schechter.
