The Flash, like many other shows on The CW, will be coming to an end over the next year. Having been on our screens since 2014, The Flash will conclude in 2023 with season 9 and come to Netflix in select regions.
Developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns this DC comics adaptation has been airing on The CW for coming up on a decade and starred Grant Gustin as Barry Allen.
Like many shows on The CW, The Flash will soon end following the network’s sale.
The series won’t be keeping its usual fall slot on The CW and is instead set to air at some point in early 2023. You can also expect a smaller episode count reduced from 20 last season to 13 for the final season.
Once concluded, the show will have over 180 episodes to binge on Netflix.
When will The Flash season 9 air on The CW in the United States?
In early December 2022, The CW confirmed that new episodes will begin airing from February 2023 on the network.
The new season will premiere on February 8th, 2023.
Brad Schwartz, president of entertainment at The CW, said in a statement:
“The team has delivered an epic final season, filled with plenty of twists, guest stars and surprises that will delight every fan. Now is the time to catch-up and enjoy this fantastic final ride alongside the fastest man alive.”
When will The Flash season 9 be on Netflix in the United States?
Let’s begin with the United States release date for The Flash season 9.
There, you’ll have to wait until the show has concluded and then the show will hit Netflix around 7 to 9 days following its finale air date.
With its February 8th release date confirmed, if The Flash season 9 runs without any breaks, the series will wrap up on the network sometime in May 2023.
That would mean Netflix receives the show in mid-to-late May 2023 but if there are breaks, it could be pushed into June, July or even August 2023.
If you can’t wait until the Netflix release date for The Flash season 9, you’ll be able to watch episodes on The CW Seed app.
This series from The CW will be one of the network’s three shows to hit Netflix in the US in 2023 as part of a legacy output deal Netflix had with the network.
Once the final season is added to Netflix, the show will remain on the streaming service for around 5 years.
When will The Flash season 9 be on Netflix in other regions?
In almost all other regions, you get weekly episode drops of The Flash.
This includes countries and continents like:
- Canada
- Netherlands
- Belgium
- Portugal
- Central Europe
- Eastern EuropeIsrael
You’ll get weekly episodes once again starting in early 2023 and will see episodes drop the day after they air in the States.
Other regions will receive the ninth season at a later date.
If you’re looking for a rewatch of the Arrowverse, those in the United States can mostly watch from start to finish right on Netflix. We’ve got a viewer guide on the watch order for Arrowverse here.
This is also one of the last DC-licensed titles to likely ever hit Netflix, with Titans season 4 also hitting Netflix in select regions. However, Netflix still have The Sandman (yet to be renewed at the time of publishing) and Sweet Tooth exclusively.
