When Tom Felton joined “The Flash” season 3 he brought a new character to the show named Julian Albert. Julian was created via “Flashpoint” but he will not be returning for season 4.
Not much is known about Julian’s departure at this point in time, but the issue will be addressed when “The Flash” returns in October.
During a recent panel at Dragon Con, Danielle Panabaker talked a little bit about the time jump and where the show will pick up, “I think it’s about 6 months between the end of season 3 and beginning of season 4,” she said via Comics Beat. Panabaker also reportedly confirmed that the time jump will explain why Julian left the team.
Luckily we’ll be getting answers to one of the questions that fans have been wondering about as of late, but anyone who is holding out hope for another musical episode probably shouldn’t hold their breath.
“That musical was pretty ambitious,” Panabaker said. “I think by the time we finished the musical, we were pretty exhausted. To the best of my knowledge we’re not going to do that again this year.”
“The Flash” season 4 will premiere on Tuesday, October 10.
Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) lived a normal life as a perpetually tardy C.S.I. in the Central City Police Department. Barry’s life changed forever when the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark-matter lightning storm that struck Barry, bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive — The Flash. But when Barry used his extraordinary abilities to travel back in time and save his mother’s life, he inadvertently created an alternate timeline known as Flashpoint; a phenomenon that gave birth to the villainous speed god known as Savitar, and changed the lives of Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and Wally West (Keiyan Lonsdale) forever.
With the help of his adoptive father, Joe West (Jesse L. Martin), his lifelong best friend and love interest Iris West (Candice Patton), and his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs — Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), C.S.I Julian Albert (Tom Felton), and an Earth-19 novelist named H.R. Wells (Tom Cavanaugh) — Barry continues to protect the people of Central City from the meta-humans that threaten it.
Based on the characters from DC, THE FLASH is from Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “Supergirl”), Andrew Kreisberg (“Arrow,” “The Flash”), Sarah Schechter (“Arrow,” “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”) and Todd Helbing (“Black Sails”).
