The Flash Season 9: John Wesley Shipp, Teddy Sears Confirmed To Return

John Wesley Shipp (Jay Garrick) and Teddy Sears (Hunter Zolomon/Zoom) are confirmed to be returning for The CW's The Flash Season 9.

We have some more impressive names to add to the list of familiar faces returning for the ninth & final season of The CW's Grant Gustin, Candice Patton & Danielle Panabaker-starring The Flash. TVLine has confirmed exclusively that John Wesley Shipp will be returning as Jay Garrick. "'Flash' fans have loved John Wesley Shipp's heroic and heartwarming portrayals on our show since its inception," noted showrunner & EP Eric Wallace. "So, it's a huge honor to have John back as part of our epic final season. This time, John's lent his incredible talents to an incredibly emotional story — one that sheds new light on Barry Allen's tragic past." In addition, viewers can expect to see Teddy Sears' Hunter Zolomon, aka Zoom. "As one of our most memorable villains ever, he scared and delighted audiences in Season 2. And now, I'm happy to announce that the brilliant Teddy Sears is coming back as the evil Zoom, aka Hunter Zolomon… for one more battle against Team Flash," Wallace added. "It's a reunion I've been hoping could happen for several seasons, and now I'm so excited that we were finally able to bring Teddy and incredible talents back into our Flash Family for our epic and emotional ninth season. So, get ready to be frightened again, Flash fans!"

The Flash Season 9 Episode 3 "Rogues of War": ON THE MOVE – Barry (Gustin) and Iris (Patton) start to put together the pieces of what's happening in Central City and believe they know what the Rogues are after.

Meanwhile, Allegra (Kayla Compton) does her best to avoid having a conversation with Chester (Brandon McKnight). Brenton Spencer directed the episode, with a story by Sam Chalsen and written by Jeff Hersch & Jess Carson.

The Flash Season 9 Episode 4 "The Mask of the Red Death, Part 1": LET THERE BE DARKNESS – The Flash (Gustin) is forced to make an impossible choice.

After defeating the Reverse Flash once and for all, the 13-episode Season 9 picks up one week later following their epic battle, and Barry Allen (Gustin) and Iris West-Allen (Patton) are reconnecting and growing closer than ever before.

Runk (Brandon McKnight), and reformed cryogenics thief Mark Blaine (Jon Cor) – must once again defy impossible odds to save the day. But as The Rogues are defeated, a deadly new adversary rises to challenge Barry Allen's heroic legacy.
