“The Flash” is set to return for season 5 in October, which is good news, but the bad news is that the “Arrowverse” will be saying goodbye to Wally West this season.
Keiynan Lonsdale is moving on to a new chapter in his life, but it’s been confirmed that fans will be seeing Wally West for at least three episodes this season before he leaves “The Flash.”
“You will see Wally in the first episode. He is in three episodes this season,” showrunner Todd Helbing told Newsarama. “We don’t have as much time with Kid Flash as I think everyone would like to see, but the story we have for him is really cool.”
Wally West didn’t play a very big role in “The Flash” season 4, but he eventually joined up with the Legends on DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow.”
However, the crew on the Waveride will also be losing Wally West, but even though Wally won’t be a full time member of the “Arrowverse” anymore, Keiynan Lonsdale hasn’t ruled out possible appearances in the future.
