During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Andrew Kriesberg shared some new details on the characters arriving in Season 2 of ‘The Flash.’

“Year one was all about time travel,” The Flash executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told EW. “Time travel can be a very tricky concept if done poorly, and we took great strides and worked really hard to make our version of time travel easy to digest for the masses, but still complex and exciting enough for the diehard fans.”

Kriesberg also provided one word teasers for each of the characters [EW]:

Barry Allen: “New love.”

Iris West: “Face from the past.”

Caitlin Snow: “Brrrr.”

Cisco Ramon: “Metahuman.”

Dr. Wells: “Alive?”

Joe West: “Stalwart.”

Ronnie Raymond: “Bravery.”

Henry Hewitt: “Heart.”

Jay Garrick: “Broken.”

Patty Spivot: “Delightful.”

Jay Garrick/The Flash (Played by Teddy Sears)

“There’s a little condescension from Jay. Jay is a little bit more world-weary and he’s seen a lot. He’s been The Flash for a while, so he’s a little further along in his career. He’s seen a lot of darkness, and it’s jaded him a little bit. He thinks Barry can be a bit naïve about the way the world works. One of Barry’s greatest gifts — and truly it’s one of Grant’s greatest gifts, too — is he’s got such an infectious energy and such a purity of heart that he makes you want to be a better person. As much as Barry learns from Jay about being The Flash, Jay learns just as much about being a good person from Barry.” – Andrew Kriesberg told EW

Professor Zoom (Voiced by Tony Todd)

“We wanted another speedster as a villain, but we wanted to do something slightly different. Reverse Flash felt like a warrior, and what we wanted this time was something more akin to a monster. When you finally see Zoom, he looks like a demon, and it’s really scary. It’s more horrific. You should feel like when one of H.R. Giger’s aliens comes in the room. The mask is really amazing. Like with Wells last year, he has a very specific agenda and a very specific and very clean reason for doing what he’s doing. When we open the season, he’s a villain of Earth-Two, and now he has access to Earth-One. Yet again, our team has created their own nemeses for the season. Watching how Zoom enacts his plan is the plot of the first nine episodes.” – Andrew Kriesberg told EW

Patty Spivot (Played by Shantel VanSanten)

“She’s got a very specific reason for wanting to fight metahumans, which we’ll learn about during the course of the season. She’s a science nerd, too. She really loves the science aspect of it, and she and Barry really bond on that level, but she also loves the action. She earns her metahuman fighting stripes in the second episode. One of the cool things about Patty is it’s one thing to take on bank robbers, it’s another to take on someone who can turn into poison gas, or another guy who can control the weather. At a key moment early on, Patty is the only cop who stands her ground, and that proves to Joe that she’s got what it takes.” – Andrew Kriesberg told EW

Wally West (Played by Keiynan Lonsdale)

“I would liken Wally coming in to the way we brought on Colton Haynes on toArrow. Just like with Colton Haynes, who eventually one day put on the Arsenal costume, I wouldn’t be surprised if one day Wally West becomes Kid Flash… Part of the season is watching Barry mature and grow up not just as The Flash, but as Barry Allen. Suddenly introducing him to a bit of a wayward kid who has some attitude problems and some authority issues and is quick with a sassy remark — all of which is very Wally West — and then watching Wally integrate into S.T.A.R. Labs universe, but also just the world of these characters, is going to be a lot of the fun of the back half of the year.” – Andrew Kriesberg told EW
