SDCC 2015: Jay Garrick, Patty Spivot, Wally West And Professor Zoom Confirmed For ‘The Flash’ Season 2!

If you thought The Flash season 1 was huge, season 2 is growing even bigger.

At Comic Con, it was confirmed that Jay Garrick, Patty Spivot, Wally West and Professor Zoom will all appear in the next season of The CW’s super hero series, further exploring the multiverse elements that were introduced in May’s finale.

Teased in the final moments of the season ender thanks to his helmet flying through Reverse Flash’s escape route into the future, Jay Garrick is typically known as the original Flash in the comics. Played by Teddy Sears, Jay will join the cast alongside Shantel Vansanten as Patty, Joe West’s new partner on the force. With casting for Wally and Professor Zoom yet to be announced, it’s clear that the inclusion of both characters have the potential to shake up the CW Flash universe considering their roles in the source material. Oh, and if you were expecting Reverse Flash to take up the mantel of Zoom, it’s been confirmed that this version will be separate from Tom Cavanagh’s expertly played villain from the first season, (although the actor will return in some capacity.)

In what ways do you think the expanded cast will affect the dynamic of the show? Will Barry and Patty serve as the Iris and Eddie of this season? What did Caitlyn mean about not coming back at the end of the sizzle reel? And considering Wally’s last name, what relation will he have to the West family? Our impatient minds will learn soon enough, when The Flash returns on October 6th.
