The Flash Season 6 Photos and Synopsis: Into the Void

The CW has released the first promo photos and synopsis for The Flash‘s upcoming sixth season premiere episode titled “Into the Void,” giving us a glimpse on what to expect for the first episode as LaMonica Garrett’s The Monitor returns. The series is scheduled to return on Tuesday, October 8. Check out the full photos in the gallery below!

The new episode’s official synopsis reads: “Team Flash spent the last year dealing with not one but two Cicadas, the return of Eobard Thawne (a.k.a. Reverse Flash), and the surprise arrival from the future of Barry and Iris’s daughter Nora West-Allen, (a.k.a. XS). The stakes were higher than ever during the season 5 finale, which culminated in Barry and Iris losing their daughter after only just getting to know her. How will they deal with saying goodbye to their speedster daughter, and what does Thawne’s escape mean for Team Flash?”

The Flash stars Grant Gustin as Barry Allen/The Flash, Candice Patton as Iris West, Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow, Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramo, Hartley Sawyer as Ralph Dibny, Jessica Parker Kennedy as Nora West-Allen aka the speedster hero XS, Danielle Nicolet as Cecile Horton with Tom Cavanagh as Dr. Harrison Wells, and Jesse L. Martin as Detective Joe West.

Season 6 will feature a new villain in the form Dr. Ramsey Rosso a.k.a DC villain Bloodwork, who will be portrayed by Heroes vet Sendhil Ramamurthy. His character is being described as a brilliant physician with a genius intellect, and the world’s leading expert on hematological oncology. A former colleague of S.T.A.R. Labs’ Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Rosso rekindles their friendship after they are reunited by an unexpected event. But their longtime bond is quickly shattered when the doctor’s desire to defy the laws of nature takes him down a dark path…one that transforms Rosso from an old friend into the most chilling villain Team Flash has ever faced: the monstrous Bloodwork.
