“The Flash Reborn” Overnight Ratings Report
Overnight ratings report for The Flash season premiere “The Flash Reborn”
The Flash may have been reborn, but his overnight ratings don’t seem to be… yet.
The series had a 1.0/4 in the Ages 18-49 demo for the season premiere “The Flash Reborn” on October 10 with a total of 2.8 million viewers according to the overnight ratings; those numbers can and will go up. On the bright side, that demo number is still better than, say, Marvel’s Inhumans on ABC… and the show did beat Lethal Weapon in the same time slot in the demo. On the down side, it’s lower than where The Flash usually is, especially for a season premiere.
Hopefully once people get used to the show being back the numbers will go back up. Next week’s episode is very good and worth watching live. And, of course, the final numbers for the season premiere can and will go up once streaming and DVR are factored in.

Virtue: The CW Developing Cecile-Focused Flash Spinoff [APRIL FOOL 2024]
The CW is plotting a spinoff for a major character from The Flash.
DISCLAIMER: This was the FlashTVNews April Fool’s post of 2024. The “news” in this article is not true or factual.
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.
We will keep people updated on Virtue here at FlashTVNews under a special “Virtue TV News” icon; though if you’d like to visit our dedicated Twitter feed for the project, you can find it here.

I’ll take a 1.0 in today’s environment, especially if it doesn’t drop in the final numbers.

I’ll put it this way; I’ll watch all the episodes of this show again. But this episode I will not watch again. It was nice to see Iris have a different role and see how the team was managing without Barry. But I strongly feel that A: The could have brought Barry back a little later in the season B: The whole thing with Barry in his crazy phase and how he just quickly snapped out of it after learning Iris was kidnapped C That Tracy wasn’t still part of the team and D: I was wondering how is is the Star Labs still functioning right now? I think it would have been better if the Samuroid was a new Meta perhaps instead of it being a robot. Although it did lead to a good reveal of The Thinker. But also it would have been nice to see how Wally was dealing with taking up in Barry’s absence more than just one episode. Needless to say, there could have been much more better things done with this episode. Hopefully they can explain some more later in this season, I was quite disappointed with this new episode.

Yep! I just said the same. Barry came back too soon and it’s costly with many fans. That gun Cisco had should have been used, deemed unsuccessful, and passed the suit over to Wally. I also feel that Barry got a new suit too soon, let alone how crappy it was for them to introduce it. The scenes of Barry losing it should have been saved for the next season. You want to give us such an awesome teaser but give us reason y’know? I’m questioning why, as I mentioned before Wally is there and he looks pretty awesome in the suit might I add. As for Samuroid, he could have played a much more prominent role than just one episode and yet do I still question how he’d even known that Wally donned the suit? I was pretty lost there. Like you was I disappointed and also like you will I give it a shot, but I also noticed that while Wally fought him and the stab was a follow up. .what happened to his healing factor?

As I told a few of my other friends. Barry came back too soon which resulted in other characters completely lacking spotlight with an example being Wally. Right now I haven’t a clue at this point why they’ve introduced a legendary speedster and we barely see anything with him, let alone donning the suit for the first time which to me was also a means of trolling us fans. But, when you that is it paid for hence the ratings. I could have done without Gustin for this entire season to be honest and not at all is it due to criticizing his skill set with acting! It’s preferred that we have more Wally. Yep. The show is called the Flash. We get it. But Wally too, was the Flash.
