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.

This episode was better in different ways. First of all it wasn’t at all silly like, like the first one even though the last one did have some good parts to it. It was really good to see a smart but cunning meta human this time. One that did challenge the flash team in a way. It was also good not only to see Eddie have a bigger role so far this season, but it was also really good to see a more light hearted Lance and Laurel in this one even though their parts were small. Plus that scene with “Barry” and Caitlin was interestingly good as it showed that Caitlin has been hiding some feelings from the real Barry which was good to finally see what she thought of him. The final fight scene between Barry and the meta human was really good to see especially when he took the form of the ones Barry cared about which was a rather fun add to it all. But the biggest part was where Barry, Cisco and Caitlin discovered “Dr. Wells” secret lair with his reverse Flash suit and all of them discovering that the flash will vanish in the mere future, which happened to be my favorite part of the whole episode. Overall it was still very very good. Can’t wait to see what happens between all of them and Wells.
