THE FLASH: Robbie Amell to Recur

THE FLASH has yet to debut, but it is getting a little extra superhero help: a rep for the show has confirmed that the show has cast Robbie Amell in the recurring role of Ronnie Raymond (AKA Firestorm). Amell will debut in THE FLASH’s third episode.

“Geoff Johns, Andrew Kreisberg and myself designed the pilot and series to include Ronnie (aka Firestorm) — and to actually have someone with Robbie’s talent playing the role is beyond exciting,” THE FLASH executive producer Greg Berlanti said in a statement. “We can’t wait for viewers and fans of the character to check it out.”

Amell — who is cousins with ARROW star Stephen Amell (whose show hosted the introduction of THE FLASH’s Barry Allen, and who will appear in THE FLASH pilot) — is also a familiar face to The CW fans: he spent last season as the lead of THE TOMORROW PEOPLE.

Are you excited to see Amell on THE FLASH?

Which 2014-2015 Television Trailers Are You Rewatching?

One of the best parts about the Upfronts is we traditionally get our first looks at the new shows that will be populating our television screens during the upcoming season.

Of course, the trailers aren’t always an indication of how the show will turn out — great shows have had terrible trailers, and terrible shows have looked significantly better thanks to a great trailer. But for now, there are a few trailers I’m obsessing over for the new television season.

THE FLASH: ARROW’s Stephen Amell to Appear in the Pilot

THE FLASH isn’t wasting any time bringing people from ARROW on board: ARROW star Stephen Amell (Oliver) will appear in THE FLASH’s pilot.

Amell actually appears in THE FLASH’s extended trailer (starting at 3:55), but a rep for the shows confirms it’s not just a scene for the trailer to tie the shows together — it will appear in THE FLASH’s first official episode.

Are you excited to see Oliver and Barry share more screentime together?

THE FLASH on The CW – First Look

THE FLASH, The CW’s ARROW “spinoff,” has had a fair amount of exposure over the past six or so months, as the pilot was originally set to be a backdoor pilot during the second half of ARROW’s sophomore season (and Barry Allen was introduced in an arc in the show’s 2013 episodes).

But now, Barry Allen will officially have his own series, and THE FLASH will be paired this fall with SUPERNATURAL on Tuesdays. And while we got teases of The Flash’s mask and full costume (and teaser aired during last night’s ARROW finale), we now have a few photos from the episode, the network’s official description of the series, and a proper trailer.

Take a look!

The CW Orders THE FLASH, IZOMBIE, THE MESSENGERS, and JANE THE VIRGIN to Series

The CW has ordered a whole bunch of new shows for the upcoming series, including the ARROW quasi-spinoff, THE FLASH.

Additionally, the network has ordered IZOMBIE (loosely based on the DC Comics series, a med stunt-turned-zombie uses her job at a coroner’s office to feed/solve crimes), JANE THE VIRGIN (based on a Venezuelan telenovela, a young woman becomes accidentally artificially inseminated), and THE MESSENGERS (a group of strangers die after a mysterious object crashes to Earth, but they wake up discover they’re being help responsible for preventing the upcoming apocalypse.)

Do any of these shows sound good to you?
