The Flash Season 7 Official Trailer – DC FanDome

While The Flash won’t be making its usual October premiere window this year, The CW has given fans their first glimpse of the upcoming Season 7.Showrunner Eric Wallace debuted a new sizzle reel for Season 7 at DC FanDome. How is that possible when the series hasn’t resumed filming since the COVID-19 shutdown? Wallace noted that, at the time of the shutdown, filming had almost wrapped on what was intended to be Season 6, Episode 20. The new footage featured in the sizzle reel is taken from that episode, which will now serve as the Season 7 premiere.The sizzle reels confirms Eva McCulloch (Efrat Dor) will continue to serve as the series’ main villain in Season 7, as she embraces her new role as Mirror Master even while Barry grapples with his dwindling speed and Iris slowly loses her mind inside the Mirror Dimension. It’s unclear for now whether she’ll be the villain throughout Season 7 or if the series will be divided into two halves, a la Season 6. However, Wallace and the cast did note how refreshing Season 6’s updated approach was, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see a second villain step in later in 2021.

While things are looking pretty bleak in Season 7, Patton promises an eventual Barry/iris reunion. “They will find their way back to each other eventually,” said Patton.

Like the majority of the Arrowverse shows, Season 6 of The Flash reached an abrupt conclusion in May, as production was halted due to coronavirus concerns. Fortunately, we thought the impromptu season finale, “Success Is Assured,” helped end the year on a strong note regardless.

While Season 7 will address some of the loose ends from Season 6, fans shouldn’t expect to see more of Hartley Sawyer’s Ralph Dibny. Sawyer was fired from the show after a series of offensive tweets. In his response, showrunner Eric Wallace said on Twitter that Sawyer’s past tweets “broke my heart and made me mad as hell.”
