“The Flash” season 3 has focused on Savitar, and it’s followed the pattern that was set by the first two seasons. In season 1 the show focused on Reverse-Flash and in season 2 the show focused on Zoom. But don’t look for season 4 to feature someone with similar abilities to Barry as the big bad, because producer Andrew Kreisberg revealed at PaleyFest that season 4 won’t focus on another speedster.
Kreisberg says they had to find a scarier villain than Zoom – so now there's Savitar. Next year, there won't be a speedster. #PaleyFest

Each season it seems that Barry faces a speedster who happens to be even more of a threat to him than the one before, and most fans would agree that Savitar lives up to the hype. With that being said, it will be very interesting to see how the show carries on without a speedster in the lead villain role, as its something we haven’t seen before.
Barry Allen has been determined to save Iris West from being killed by Savitar and so much of the latest season has been centered on Barry trying to build a different future. The Flash only discovered that Savitar is going to kill Iris because he accidentally traveled to the future. Kreisberg also teased that Barry will be returning to the future in an upcoming episode.

DARREN CRISS (“GLEE”) GUEST STARS AS THE MUSIC MEISTER IN THE FLASH AND SUPERGIRL MUSICAL CROSSOVER – Barry (Grant Gustin) and team are surprised when Mon-El (guest star Chris Wood) and Hank Henshaw (guest star David Harewood) arrive on their Earth carrying a comatose Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist) who was whammied by the Music Meister (guest star Darren Criss). Unable to wake her up, they turn to Team Flash to save her. However, the Music Meister surprises The Flash and puts him in a similar coma, one that Team Flash can’t cure. Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end. Dermott Downs directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing.
