As DC Studios’ The Flash continues to bomb at the box office, Warner Bros. has revealed its latest DC project that centers on the Scarlet Speedster with a new podcast series titled The Flash: Escape the Midnight Circus.
This is a scripted audio drama starring Max Greenfield (New Girl) in the role of The Flash and it’s said to be “a companion piece” to the film currently in theaters. This is a six-part podcast with episodes ranging from 12 minutes to around 20.
Here’s a full synopsis that was shared:
Barry Allen is at the height of his powers and fame, firmly ensconced as Central City’s favorite Super Hero – but when being The Flash forces him to let Iris down one time too many, she decides to call it quits. Undeterred, Barry figures he can use the Speed Force to go back in time and set things right. But something goes wrong, Barry tumbles into a new dimension, finding himself in a small bedroom with Captain Cold, his powers gone. Cold tells Barry that he’s an unwitting participant in a televised tournament, THE MIDNIGHT CIRCUS, which pits humans, superheroes and rogues against one another in life-or-death games of chance. Survive the competition and Barry earns his freedom, recreate the conditions of his original transformation, and return to his own timeline. But to do so, he’ll have to rely solely on his wits. And if that wasn’t hard enough, he soon finds himself facing his toughest opponent yet: Iris West.
The first two parts of the podcast will be released on Monday, July 10th exclusively on Apple Podcasts, with the remaining episodes dropping weekly on each subsequent Monday.
All six episodes will also be included with The Flash on Digital, 4K UHD, and Blu-ray whenever it’s released on physical home media.
