The seal has been broken and Earth-Prime may not be dead after all.
Late tonight, Deadline Weekly revealed that Warner Bros. Television and writers associated with The Flash have landed a deal for Virtue, a series focused on the Cecile character from The Flash as played by Danielle Nicolet. Nicolet is expected to reprise her role in the series, which will take place several years after the events of the Flash finale.
Jesse L. Martin is not expected to be a part of the series as he has prior commitments to The Irrational on NBC. Intel from the studio reveals that some characters fans have been itching to see again — such as Chester, Allegra, Khione, Chillblaine, and Arrow’s Raisa the Maid — might show up in some capacity. In keeping with the current CW lineup, the new show will pair Cecile Horton with a cop to solve crimes — but, of course, that cop will sadly not be Joe.
The official logline for Virtue suggests that Cecile will be a single mother who balances her superpowers and law background with solving crimes and being a mom. She will also reconnect with her daughter Joanie from whom she has been estranged for several years, and it’s expected that the Joanie character may be recast. Many thought The CW was out of the superhero business, but the producers’ pitch showed that her mental-based powers could make the show easier and more affordable to produce on a TV budget. It is expected that some of Cecile’s “level up” powers from Season 9 of The Flash will be toned down, and it is said that another reason Virtue has an advantage is that it doesn’t conflict with James Gunn’s ideas for the upcoming DC Studios movie universe.
No specific writers have been named for Virtue so far, aside from the notion that they worked on The Flash. Additionally, the Deadline Weekly article confirms that neither Grant Gustin nor Candice Patton are expected to show up on the series.

I thought that this episode might be quite good; and honestly I’m rather surprised at the ratings. This episode was really good to focus on King Shark. The backstory was…interesting and a bit silly, but was good needlessly to say. I was a bit bothered by Caitlin’s behavior to Cisco. But Jay’s death most certainly did have an impact on everyone, but for her to be snippy and rude when she I think she should have been a more actual sad then how she turned out in the beginning. However Barry’s feelings that he admitted to Joe and Iris was good and emotional as well as understanding, but his getting along with Wally wasn’t all that good even though it had some good little bits like Wally’s idea for a new kind of power car was interesting. And lastly the effects for King Shark was really good, especially his holding cell at Argus. But its the type of thing that I’ve seen before, and we knew that the team would catch him again. But how it was done, was interesting, but I was expecting more and the fact that I think Diggle and Lyla knew that King Shark couldn’t be killed by bullitt’s, so why keep firing at him? It may sound a bit stupid but it’s kinda the truth. Overall I wouldn’t say this episode was amazing or great, but it wasn’t bad either. Just somewhere in between I guess. But the one big great thing that was shown finally is who Zoom really is, I was surprised to a point but kinda also saw it, because there isn’t many people we know that we’ve seen that have been in season 2 that know a lot about speed. So it makes sense. Looking forward to see how they come up with this one though.
