The Flash S7
With his wife Iris missing, Eva McCulloch on the rampage, and Barry fresh out of “flash”, Team Flash has their work cut out for them this season as they wrap up the dangling threads from the abruptly shortened Season 6, before taking on a new story arc kicked off by Abra Kadabra, hellbent on revenge.
Grant Gustin was nominated for a 2021 Critics’ Choice Super Award for Best Actor In A Superhero Series as Barry Allen, to go with his four Teen Choice Awards for the role. Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker and Tom Cavanagh reprise their Teen Choice-nominated roles as Iris, Caitlin and Dr. Harry Wells respectively, while SXSW Special Jury Award winner David Dastmalchian (Murdoc in the MacGyver reboot series and Piter De Vries in the upcoming Dune) is also back, guest starring as Abra Kadabra.
With a 95% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a 2021 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Special Visual Effects, and a 2021 Critics’ Choice Super Awards nomination for Best Superhero Series, The Flash has already been renewed for an eighth season.
