Grant Gustin opens up about how he is ready for his time as The Flash to be over. The Arrowverse is facing the beginning of the end as the franchise has been existing on The CW since 2012. While most of the shows have either ended or been canceled, The CW still has The Flash for one more season. The final season premiered this week, setting up Barry Allen's last story in the Arrowverse. With only 12 episodes to go before The Flash season 9 comes to an end, the series has a lot of story points to wrap up for its cast of characters. The season premiere set up the arrival of Red Death, who will be one of the final big bads for the Scarlet Speedster.
