The official synopsis to the first episode of "The Flash" has been released by CW.

After much speculation as to where the show would go, it seems the CW will continue the series right where it left off at the end of Season 1.

The synopsis states, "Following the defeat of Barry Allen's arch-nemesis Eobard Thawne (aka Reverse Flash), Team Flash quickly turned their attention to the singularity swirling high above Central City, which fans last saw consuming everything in its path. Armed with the heart of a hero and the ability to move at super speeds, Barry charged into the eye of the singularity, but will he actually be able to save his city from impending doom?"

Last season ended with Barry Allen trying to close the worm hole which threatened Central City. According to Candice Patton, who plays Iris in the series, the series would continue the sudden cliffhanger. She said in an interview with TVLine, "where Barry is and what that means for S.T.A.R. Labs and Iris and Joe and Eddie. It'll pick up right where we left off."

Throughout the past weeks, there has been speculation about what will happen at the beginning of the season. All that is known is that a new villain will appear early on and will be the main villain throughout the series.

Last year, the CW took a risk by making a comic book character into a TV series and ended up succeeding as the series not only became a popular series but also scored rave reviews. The network immediately ordered a second season, which is now highly anticipated.

The show stars Grant Gustin as the Flash, Tom Cavanagh, Rick Cosnett, Carlos Valdes, Jesse L. Martin and Danielle Panabaker. The new season is set to bring in new characters and begins on Oct. 6. Filming is expected to begin in the next weeks.
