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.

Wasn’t a big fan of Miller in Wallflower, and I can’t really picture him as the Flash…I think that role should have gone to Gustin.

It wasn’t stated that it would be Barry, I thin they will go with Wally.

This is a HORRIBLE casting decision!! I was ok with Affleck as Batman, was ok with Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, was NOT ok with Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, but I am absolutely infuriated by Ezra Miller as the Flash!! And they had better not do Barry Allen, cause Grant Gustin owns that role right now. He had better be Wally West, but hell no for him as Barry Allen

It’s so insulting to the loyal fans of the DC tv universe to announce that Grant Gustin is not the real Flash a week after his show premieres

Would have liked to see Gustin on the bigscreen, but understand the logistics of it all. Ezra will be fantastic! This guy can act up a storm.
