The next episode of The Flash (season five, episode 15) won’t be broadcast for a while in America after fans of the DC Comics series noticed the series didn’t air this week. The Flash season five is typically broadcast in the USA on The CW every Tuesday, with the exception of a mid-season break over Christmas in 2018, but episode 15 has bucked this trend. Here’s when The Flash returns to TV screens with King Shark vs Gorilla Grodd.
When is The Flash season 5, episode 15 release date?
The Flash season five, episode 15’s release date was revealed at the end of The CW’s promo for the next episode.

Episode 15 of The Flash season five will air on Tuesday, March 5 on The CW in the USA – three weeks after episode 14’s release date.
In the UK, fans will have to wait even longer to watch King Shark vs Gorilla Grodd.
