After officially announcing the return of Stephen Amell, Keiynan Lonsdale, David Ramsey and Sendhil Ramamurthy, among others, the production of The Flash has confirmed that two more former characters will be returning for Season 9. According to TVLine, fans will have the opportunity to see Jay Garrick and Zoom, played by John Wesley Shipp and Teddy Sears, respectively.
Eric Wallace, showrunner of The Flash, said of Teddy Sears‘ return: “As one of our most memorable villains ever, he scared and delighted audiences in Season 2. And now, I’m happy to announce that the brilliant Teddy Sears is coming back as the evil Zoom aka Hunter Zolomon… for one more battle against Team Flash.” He adds, “It’s a reunion I’ve been hoping could happen for several seasons. […] So, get ready to be frightened again, Flash fans!”
As for John Wesley Shipp, Eric Wallace considers it’s “a huge honor to have John back as part of our epic final season. This time, John’s lent his incredible talents to an incredibly emotional story – one that sheds new light on Barry Allen’s tragic past.”
