Season 7 (The Flash)

## Season 7

The **seventh season** of *The Flash* premiered on March 2, 2021 on The CW and concluded on July 20, 2021. The season consisted of 18 episodes.

Like last season, this season was broken up into story arcs which were called "Graphic Novels". The first three episodes of the season were a continuation of "**Reflections and Lies**", the first story arc was called "**God Complex**", and the second story arc was called "**The Godspeed Imperative**".

## Synopsis

After a thrilling cliffhanger last season which saw the new Mirror Master victorious and still-at-large in Central City, the Flash must regroup in order to stop her and find a way to make contact with his missing wife, Iris West-Allen.
With help from the rest of Team Flash, which includes superheroes Caitlin Snow, Cisco Ramon, Ralph Dibny and Nash Wells, as well as the Flash's adoptive father, Joe West, meta-attorney Cecile Horton, tough cub reporter Allegra Garcia and brilliant tech-nerd Chester P. Runk… Flash will ultimately defeat Mirror Master.
But in doing so, he'll also unleash an even more powerful and devastating threat on Central City: one that threatens to tear his team - and his marriage - apart.[src]
