Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, Season 6 of The Flash stuck on a bit of a cliff hanger. Team Flash not only prevented Eva McCulloch / Mirror Mistress (Efrat Dor) from killing her husband, but Eva framed Sue Dearbon (Natalie Dreyfuss) for the crime and Iris (Candice Patton) – along with Singh (Patrick Sabongui) and Kamilla (Victoria Park) – remain trapped in the Mirrorverse. It’s a situation that fans are sure to see what’s next in Season 7 and now they’re getting their first look. The first Season 7 trailer for The Flash was released today at DC FanDome.
What’s interesting about this new Season 7 trailer is that it’s consist of footage that was originally intended for Season 6. Due to the pandemic, Season 6 ended in three episodes. Those remaining episodes are now being recorded in the new season, something showrunner Eric Wallace explained earlier, noting that due to the closure there will be a twist coming earlier in Season 7 than might otherwise have happened.
“Because it’s The Flash, there’s an enormous twist at the end of every season, and that twist is now kind of coming in the middle of the [start of the] season, “said Wallace. And that really affected our storytelling for the entire season 7. “
While the new trailer doesn’t tip the hand, so to speak about this bit of twist, it does give us a few alluring glimpses of what’s to come. We get a look at Brandon McKnight’s Chester P. Runk working with Team Flash – the actor was promoted to series earlier this year – and we also get a look at the ongoing efforts to rescue Iris before it’s too late. – and when it comes to Iris and the Mirrorverse, Wallace has already promised tears.
“These last three episodes of this season have already been written, and in fact the episode after this, where you will see exactly where Iris went to, has already shot 90 percent,” he said earlier this year. “So, it’s very strange to me that we were one day away from finishing this episode, which is suddenly our premiere of Season 7. Luckily you find out where Iris went and, oh boy, there will be be tears. Oh my. Tears in our season premiere. “
