“The Flash” season 3 is currently tormenting fans by making us guess the true identity of Savitar. The show has woven an interesting web full of possibilities when it comes to the truth about the speedster’s identity, but it’s hard to point the finger at any one character in particular on the show.

We already know that there will be a big confrontation between Barry Allen and Savitar when the big bad tries to kill Iris at the end of the season, but it doesn’t seem like we’re getting any close to finding out who he is. TV Line recently spoke to Danielle Panabaker, and according to Killer Frost herself, the show is going to make us wait a while longer.
“Slowly, different characters are going to learn who Savitar is,” Danielle Panabaker revealed. “But I don’t know if the audience is going to be told anytime soon.”
This is the third year in a row that “The Flash” has relied on a villain’s true identity to carry the story arc of the season. In season 1 we learned that Reverse-Flash was actually Eobard Thawne inhabiting the body of Harrison Wells, and in season 2 we learned that Jay Garrick was actually named Hunter Zolomon, and he was the man under the Zoom mask.
The first two reveals played out slowly, but there were little hints along the way. This time it’s been a lot harder to figure out, and according to Grant Gustin, it will be an “Oh. My. God!” moment when Savitar’s identity is revealed.
“It’s not the same as past reveals,” Gustin said. “With Zoom and Reverse-Flash, the audience was starting to realize things before we all started to piece it together. But I don’t know how you would know this year. And when you do find out, it’s like, ‘Oh. My. God!’ There are really no secrets or hints leading up to to it.”
“The Flash will return on Tuesday, March 21st with “Duet.”

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.
