'The Flash' season 5 spoilers: New photo reveals that all is not well with the West-Allen family

Nora West-Allen played by Jessica Parker Kennedy is the daughter of Barry aka Flash and Iris and returns from the future to play a vital role in the upcoming season

In less than seven days, DC's favorite speedster will be flashing in with a brand new adventure, replete with usual high-octane action and some unexpected family drama. For fans of CW's 'The Flash', it's not really news that the upcoming season 5 is taking on a different direction by introducing a guest from the future — Nora West-Allen (Jessica Parker Kennedy), the daughter of Barry aka Flash (Grant Gustin) and Iris (Candice Patton).

Introduced at the end of the last season, she arrives in the current timeline to save her father from a certain catastrophe. The young speedster was an important part of the story arc that is going to play out further in the forthcoming season. There have already been hints: first in the form of the season 5 episode 2 synopsis, and most recently as a preview photo offering a glimpse of the West-Allen family.
