'The Flash' season 5: Barry Allen will face off with new nemesis Cicada, sooner than you expect!

Chris Klein's Cicada will arrive on the scene to make his presence felt in the very second episode of the upcoming fifth season.
PUBLISHED SEP 28, 2018

Fans of The Flash already know that our favorite speedster is soon to return on The CW for yet another season. And while there was much speculation about a new speedster on the show, upcoming season 5 of The Flash is returning with an antagonist of merely average speed - called Cicada - as suggested by the new synopsis reveal.

But that isn't all; as some sort of comfort for the lack of a man with greater speed - the said new nemesis of The Flash aka Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) will come sooner into the season than you think. 

That's right, Chris Klein's Cicada will arrive on the scene to make his presence felt in the very second episode of the upcoming fifth season, where he will cross paths with Barry and his team for what will presumably be a massive throwdown. Reportedly, it won't take long for Cicada to establish the threat that he is, which also happens to be a striking variant from the pace at which the previous seasons of the series have worked.
