The time jump was confirmed by Grant Gustin, the actor who plays Barry Allen, the alter ego of The Flash in the TV series.
In a recent interview, Gustin said that Season 2 of “The Flash” will pick up about six months later from the Season 1 finale where the Flash raced to save Central City from an all-consuming and multi-verse breaching black hole.
He added that the series will piece together how the storm has affected everyone because it’s not as different as fans would think. Gustin also said that as “The Flash” moves forward, there will be some things in the show that will sure to blow fans’ minds.
Most fans of the show were actually expecting that Season 2 will immediately follow the aftermath of the storm threatening to destroy Central City during the Season 1 finale.
The early episodes will provide the answer to the question whether Barry successfully neutralized the singularity in minutes or was he transported six months into the future.
The actor said that fans can look forward to seeing the differences in the new timeline because of the handiwork of Eobard Thawne, who played Reverse-Flash in Season 1, after he was completely wiped from existence.
