Flash Boss Says Shutdown Led to 'Narrative Unpredictability' - CBR - Comic Book Resources

Due to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, production on The Flash's sixth season was temporarily halted, resulting in said season being reduced from 22 episodes to only 19 and the season ending on a cliffhanger. But current showrunner Eric Wallace sees a positive side to this, as the series' upcoming seventh season, which will debut in January 2021, will have volatility in its narrative.

Speaking to TVLine, Wallace explained how the temporary shutdown of production affected the story of the season thanks to a ripple effect which will lead to three incomplete Season 6 episodes starting off Season 7.

"Because this is The Flash, there’s a huge twist at the end of every season, and that twist is now kind of coming in the middle of the [start of the] season," Wallace said. "And that has really affected our storytelling for all of Season 7."

However, Wallace views this as "yet another blessing in disguise," similar to how Season 6's first-half lead up to Crisis on Infinite Earths. "Amid the horror and the tragedy of what’s happening with this pandemic, if we can find some kind of lemonade in the lemon, it’s us having to rethink a few things about how a Flash season looks, given this ‘narrative unpredictability’ to the season," Wallace added.

"There are going to be more Graphic Novels next year," Wallace concluded, using the term for how he describes the halves of each season due to him dividing them into separate story arcs ever since he took over as showrunner last year, "but they’re not going to be broken up in the way I think folks expect."

Wallace had previously teased that he knew what would happen in Season 7, commenting that not only did the writers know what happened at Season 6's end but that he could also discuss "all of Season 7 right now," while also pondering as to whether or not the characters of Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost and Cisco Ramone back earlier than he had outlined. In addition, series star Hartley Sawyer, who played Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man, was fired earlier this month due to offensive tweets he wrote years ago, which may result in a written-in absence for the character.
