'The Flash' Season 2 Cast: Teddy Sears' Jay Garrick Meets Candice Patton, Grant Gustin!
With the first season cliffhanger leaving audiences hanging, the CW network already has casting plans for Season 2 of The Flash. Another scarlet speedster is coming, Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears) will be meeting Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and Iris West (Candice Patton).
In our first season recap, Barry Allen as he awake from his coma, after being struck by lightning. Given super-speed powers, Barry belonged to small group of friends, Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), and Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), who know his secret identity. They worked together against super villains, including Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), and teaming with the Arrow (Stephen Amell). But they never realized their true enemy was lurking within them, the Reverse-Flash (Tom Cavanagh).
According to Variety, the Masters of Sex actor will play an incarnation of Jay. In the DC Comics Universe, Garrick is the first character to hold the mantle of The Flash during his debut in the 1940s. In the New 52, Jay is now a semi-retired crime-fighter, with his hair gone totally white.
We also mentioned, viewers caught a glimpse of Jay's iconic winged helmet in the first season finale. In his arrival, Jay is a mysterious figure who arrives in Central City to warn Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and his team at S.T.A.R. Labs of an impending danger that he alone cannot stop.
Executive producer Andrew Kreisberg tells the site, "Having Jay Garrick come onto the show was one of our earliest ideas. It is so exciting, as we rush into season two, that we finally get to bring the Crimson Comet to life. We couldn't imagine anyone more suited to play the original Flash than Teddy."
