The Flash's Season Premiere Delayed by One Week | CBR - CBR - Comic Book Resources

The Flash Season 7 premiere has been delayed by a week, moving from Tuesday, Feb. 23 to Tuesday, March 2.

In its place, The CW will air the series premiere of Superman & Lois, followed by a half-hour special titled Superman & Lois: Legacy of Hope. After its special debut on Feb. 23 at 8 pm ET/PT, Superman & Lois will move to the 9 pm ET/PT time slot on Tuesdays. As such, The Flash will maintain its usual 8 pm ET/PT time slot beginning March 2.

Like the rest of The CW's shows, The Flash Season 6 was reduced from its planned 22 episodes to 19 episodes due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. When the season ended, Team Flash reckoned with the disappearance of Iris West-Allen, who was still trapped in the Mirrorverse, as well as the Mirror Mistress herself, Eva McCulloch. Season 7 will pick up right where Season 6 left off, with promises to tackle these cliffhangers, as well as the challenge of Barry's waning speed powers.

According to the full synopsis for The Flash Season 7,

After a thrilling cliffhanger last season which saw the new Mirror Master (Efrat Dor) victorious and still-at-large in Central City, The Flash must regroup in order to stop her and find a way to make contact with his missing wife, Iris West-Allen (Candice Patton). With help from the rest of Team Flash, which includes superheroes Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) and Nash Wells (Tom Cavanagh), as well as the Flash’s adoptive father Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), Meta-Attorney Cecile Horton (Danielle Nicolet), tough cub reporter Allegra Garcia (Kayla Compton) and brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk (Brandon McKnight)... Flash will ultimately defeat Mirror Master. But in doing so, he’ll also unleash an even more powerful and devastating threat on Central City: one that threatens to tear his team—and his marriage—apart.

The Flash stars Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Jesse L. Martin, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes and Tom Cavanaugh. Season 7 premieres on Tuesday, March 2 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
