The Flash Season 4 Villain Revealed, Possible Release Date
The Flash Season 4 will speed your way on the CW in Fall of 2017, and they're going with a different kind of villain this time.
The Flash Season 4 is already confirmed, and the CW is feeling good enough about it that they renewed it early in its season three run. The current season has been a marked improvement over the strange detours of season two, so confidence in The Flash Season 4 is pretty high around these parts.
Now, it might seem like it's still a little early to start throwing around The Flash Season 4 predictions, but a few months ago, we had our first clue about next year's big baddie. "Next season we're not going to have a speedster as the main bad guy," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told the crowd at Paley Fest in Los Angeles.
That's something of a relief. While, of course, season one's Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash was kind of the gold standard of speedster big bads, Zoom was a little more of a mixed bag during season two. The Savitar storyline continues to unfold during season three, but it's nice to see that they're looking to explore other options next year.
So who could that be? Well, in a recent episode, we got a major clue from a minor villain. As Abra Kadabra was being led off to face his fate, Barry tried to appeal to his better nature, begging for information about Savitar. While pointing out that nobody hurt Barry as badly as Savitar will, Kadabra rattled off the names of the villains who have most impacted Barry's life, including Thawne and Zoom. But there was another name.
