Season 8 Of The Flash Will Kick Off With A Five-Part Arrowverse Event

It feels as though The CW’s The Flash may be nearing an end. As the show is set to kick off its 8th season, it is set to do it in grand fashion with a 5-part Arrowverse event. The event will be titled Armageddon, and it will bring a variety of heroes to The Flash, including Javicia Leslie as Batwoman, Brandon Routh as The Atom, Cress Williams as Black Lightning, Chyler Leigh as Sentinel, Kat McNamara as Mia Queen, and Osric Chau as Ryan Choi. There will also be a couple of villains returning as well, as Tom Cavanagh and Neal McDonough will return as Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash and Damien Darhk, respectively. he Flash executive producer Eric Wallace said in a statement,

Simply put, these are going to be some of the most emotional Flash episodes ever,

Plus, there are some truly epic moments and huge surprises that await our fans. And we’re doing them on a scale that’s bigger and bolder than our traditional Flash episodes. So yes, “Armageddon” is a lot more than just another graphic novel storyline. It’s going to be a true event for Flash and Arrowversefans, old and new. Honestly, I can’t wait for audiences to see what we’ve got planned.

You can check out the synopsis for Armageddon below:

A powerful alien threat arrives on Earth under mysterious circumstances and Barry (Grant Gustin), Iris (Candice Patton) and the rest of Team Flash are pushed to their limits in a desperate battle to save the world. But with time running out, and the fate of humanity at stake, Flash and his companions will also need to enlist the help of some old friends if the forces of good are to prevail.
