TheSeason 1finale ofThe Flashset the table for numerous interesting possibilities inSeason 2, which is currently in production. Shortly after theSeason 1finale, executive producerAndrew Kreisbergteased thatThe Flash Season 2will explore the multiverse, meaning the multiple timelines in Earth 1 and Earth 2. As it turns out, fans will get to see Earth 2 a lot sooner than they expected. Here’s what executive producerAndrew Kreisberghad to say in an interview withEntertainment Weekly, revealing they’re trying to make the multiverse simple and complex at the same time, in the same way they handled time travel.
“We’re trying to do the same thing this year with Earth 2 and the concept of the multiverse and the concept of dopplegangers. We’ve been having a lot of fun with that and getting glimpses of Earth 2 probably sooner than people would’ve thought.”
At the end of theSeason 1finale,Barry Allenentered the “singularity” known as the Speed Force, where fans got a few intriguing Easter Eggs. This scene showed Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) transformed into the villainous Killer Frost, Barry seeing a statue of himself, and the helmet of the original Flash,Jay Garrick, who will be played byTeddy Searsthis season. Some fans believe that Barry will journey to Earth 2 in order to stop the singularity that appeared during the finale, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
It’s possible that we could also see Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) as the villainous Vibe in Earth 2, but that hasn’t been confirmed either. The cast and crew revealed atComic-Conthat Barry will get new “lightning” powers, along with a different mentor and a new love interest. The main villain inSeason 2will be Zoom, who has not been cast yet. The character is said to be faster than bothThe FlashandReverse Flash(Tom Cavanagh) combined.
