‘Flash’ to Head New Series, Introduced in ‘Arrow’ Season 2

The CW is looking to its breakout freshman hit to give birth to a new superhero series. CW president Mark Pedowitz used his platform Tuesday at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour to announce that his network is fast-tracking Flash, a drama based on the famed DC Comics hero and member of the Justice League of America. The network will look to Arrow co-creators/executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and director David Nutter to introduce the lightning-fast character during the second season of Arrow. “We plan to introduce the recurring character of Barry Allen who is the Flash,” Pedowitz told reporters. “We’re planning an origin story and we’ll see how it goes. We do want to expand on DC Universe, and we felt this is a very organic way to get there.”
