During San Diego Comic-Con's DC panel for their television series, it was revealed that multiple new characters will be joining the cast of 'The Flash' for season 2.

Most notable is the character Jay Garrick, who is actually the most earliest iteration of The Flash in the comics. The role that the character will be slightly modified, as CW states Garrick is"a mysterious figure who arrives in Central City to warn Barry Allen and his team at S.T.A.R. Labs of an impending danger that he alone cannot hope to stop."

He will be played by actor Teddy Sears, notable for his roles in 'Masters of Sex' and 'Raising the Bar.'

"Having Jay Garrick come onto the show was one of our earliest ideas," The Flash executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said in a statement. "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."

The other veteran character set to join the cast is Wally West, along with Professor Zoom as the season's villain.

"Also joining The Flash in season two is a new love interest from the comics, Patty Spivot, who will be played by Shantel VanSanten (The Messengers, The Final Destination, One Tree Hill). According to The CW, on the show, "Patty is obsessed with metahumans and partners with Det. Joe West this season but has no idea that her new crush is The Flash," cites IGN.

'The Flash' returns to the CW this fall.
