"The Flash" Suspends Production Over Coronavirus Concerns

Following up on news that Vancouver-based Warner Bros. Television/Berlanti Productions series Riverdale has suspended season 4 production due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it looks like we can add The CW's The Flash to that list -with an expectation that the rest of the network's shows will follow suit.

The long-running series' unit manager Brent Crowell announced to the cast and crew that the shutdown was in effect as of Friday, March 13, and that no one should report to work "until further notice".

"The Flash" season 6, episode 15 "The Exorcism of Nash Wells": A DANGEROUS NEW META HITS CENTRAL CITY – The Flash (Grant Gustin) takes on a dangerous new meta named Sunshine (guest star Natalie Sharp). Cisco (Carlos Valdes) sets out to help Nash (Tom Cavanagh). Eric Dean Seaton directed the episode written by Lauren Barnett & Sterling Gates

Looking ahead to next season… Kayla Compton's (Making Moves, Mistresses) Allegra Garcia and Brandon McKnight's (The Shape of Water, Akilla's Escape) tech genius Chester P. Runk being upped to series regulars.

An up-and-coming journalist, Allegra fell in with a bad crowd and was incarcerated at a young age. But since her release, she's refused to let her rocky start in life define her future. Now she helps Barry Allen as a new member of Team Flash, thanks to her metahuman ability to manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum. That is, when she's not helping Iris chase down headlines for CCC Media.

McKnight's Runk is a scientific wonder who works out of his grandmother's cluttered garage. Not only can he design and build almost any gadget, he does so without the expensive backing and resources of S.T.A.R. Labs. Chester is a "DIY" kinda guy, forsaking high-tech labs for junkyard finds and other folks' discarded tech to create his own one-of-a-kind gadgets that bend the laws of physics – and beyond. Fun-loving and a great dancer, Chester is a down-to-earth guy who lights up any room he enters. Oh, and boy is he obsessed with aliens, science fiction movies, and other pop culture interests – and don't forget Jitters coffee.
