Barry Allen begins his final battle against Red Death in The Flash season 9, episode 5 trailer. After building up the mystery of who Red Death is, The Flash season 9 is now getting to the bottom of why this version of Ryan Wilder is going after the Scarlet Speedster. In this week’s episode, “The Mask of the Red Death, Part 1,” the Arrowverse drama went into where this Ryan comes from and what she is up to. With this storyline getting closer to finishing up, the second part of the Red Death finale is coming up in just a week.
“The Mask of the Red Death, Part 1” saw Central City suffer from a blackout thanks to the villainous speedster. While suspected to be the new avatar of the Negative Speed Force, The Flash season 9, episode 4, confirmed that this wasn’t the case.
Following the airing of this week’s episode, The CW released the trailer for The Flash season 9, episode 5. Appropriately titled “The Mask of the Red Death, Part 2,” the upcoming episode gives a preview of the final battle between the DC foe and the fastest man alive. “The Mask of the Red Death, Part 2” was directed by Rachel Talalay, with story by Jonathan Butler and teleplay by Dan Fisk.
What Else To Expect In The Flash Season 9
Once the Red Death storyline is finished next week, The Flash season 9 will then begin setting the stage for the show’s final storyline. Over the last couple of months, The CW has announced multiple guest stars returning for the final season. One of the most anticipated episodes is episode 9, which will see Stephen Amell’s Arrowverese return as Oliver Queen, a.k.a. Green Arrow. The episode will also see Keiynan Lonsdale’s Kid Flash, Sendhil Ramamurthy’s Bloodwork, and David Ramsey’s John Diggle back.
Supergirl’s Nicole Maines, who plays Nia Nal, a.k.a. Dreamer, will also show up for an episode where she will team up with Iris West-Allen. Several other The Flash characters are also re-emerging later in season 9. Jessica Parker Kennedy and John Wesley Shipp are both back as XS and Jay Garrick, respectively. But multiple speedster foes are also making a visit to Central City, including Teddy Sears as Zoom and Matt Letscher as the original Reverse-Flash.
The Flash series finale will also seemingly see Rick Cosnett as one of the show’s final antagonists, based on set photos. While it’s unclear how they will be back, Savitar and Godspeed are also returning one last time. With so many characters coming back in the back half of The Flash season 9, the Arrowverse drama is definitely not holding back on featuring its fan favorites.
