Some familiar characters will return The Lightning for its ninth and final season. David Ramsey (John Diggle aka Spartan), Keiynan Lonsdale (Wally West/Kid Flash) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Ramsey Rosso/Bloodwork) will guest in episode 909 of the upcoming season.
Ramsey appeared as John Diggle aka Spartan in a total of 10 episodes of The Lightningfrom season 1.
“As one of the legendary Arrowverse characters who helped start it all, John Diggle has a special place in our hearts and ours too,” said executive producer Eric Wallace. “Also, the great presence and commitment to excellence that actor/director David Ramsey brings to the screen every time is truly inspiring. So bringing Diggle to Team Flash for our final season was clearly a good idea! So get ready for a very emotional reunion as John Diggle, aka Spartan, joins Team Flash to help protect Central City one last time.
Lonsdale, as Wally West aka Kid Flash, appeared in 45 episodes, appeared as a series regular in seasons 2 and 3, recurred in season 4, and had a guest appearance in season 5.
“We are very excited to reunite with the incredibly talented Keiynan Lonsdale as part of The Lightningis last season. Because Kid Flash isn’t just any speed demon, he’s a beloved part of our Team Flash family,” Wallace said. “As soon as we knew he was coming back, we started writing a special and heartfelt story for his return. The result is a brilliant performance from Keiynan that shows a side of Wally West you’ve never seen before.”
Ramamurthy, as Ramsey Rosso aka Bloodwork, appeared in season 6 in 9 episodes.
“Ever since Sendhil gave such a brilliantly haunting and memorable performance as the tortured Ramsey Rosso in Season 6, we’ve been looking for a way to bring him back,” Wallace said. “We also knew we wanted Ramsey to have a role in Flash’s final race. Fortunately, everything fell into place and now the return of the villainous Bloodwork will usher in one of Flash’s wildest and most emotional adventures.
