Grant Gustinisreportedly in negotiationsto finalize his contract with The CW forThe Flashseason 9, which would almost certainly bring the ninth season to the CW.
Since the show launched in 2014, Gustin has played The Flash/Barry Allen. The show was part of DC Arrowverse on the CW and was created by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns. The series also stars Candice Patton, Jessie L. Martin, Danielle Nicolet, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Jordan Fisher, Danielle Panabaker, and Kayla Compton.
It now looks like Gustin is set to reprise the role forThe Flashseason 9, as he is said to be currently finalizing negotiations for his return. This would makeThe Flashthe longest-running in CW’s Arrowverse.Arrowfinished its run after season 8. It is said that Gustin’s contract forThe Flashseason 9 is to end at 15 episodes and for one year, making it a shorter run and potentially the last for the actor. Currently, Gustin’s per-episode salary is believed to be over $200,000, and this new deal would see him receive a much more significant increase for his return.
However, some fans were hoping for a multi-year deal. This current one-season deal, though, does seem to fit with Gustin’s overall attitude toward his personal & professional life, which he has spoken about in interviews and on social media. It seems he does not want to be locked in to more than one season and to take things on a season-by-season basis. That being the case, this could be the final season forThe Flash,unless, of course, they can work in some cross-over events or another season. For now, anyway, it looks like season 9 is on deck and that is a good thing for many.
