“From his first day on The Flash, Todd Helbing has been a leader on the show, beloved by the cast and crew for his exceptional talent, vision and wonderful attitude.
He has penned such episodes as “The Flash Reborn,” “Run, Iris, Run,” “We Are the Flash,” “Elseworlds, Part 1” and last week’s “King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd” installment.
The Flash will be running with a new leader at the helm this fall: Executive producer Eric Wallace will take over as the sole showrunner for Season 6, as Todd Helbing steps down from the position at the end of Season 5 to focus on development. Wallace — whose previous credits include Teen Wolf, Z Nation and Eureka — joined the CW series as a co-exec producer in Season 4 before being promoted to EP in Season 5.
“Eric Wallace has proven his own exceptional talent and voice since Season 4, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to watch how he shapes the future of Team Flash and the many thrilling adventures that lay ahead for our characters and dedicated fans.”
