The Flash is an upcoming American television series developed by writer/producers Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns, to air on The CW. It will be based on the DC Comics character Flash (Barry Allen), a costumed crime-fighter who was created by Robert Kanigher, John Broome and Carmine Infantino. It is intended to be a spin-off to Arrow, existing in the same universe. A pilot, to be written by Berlanti, Kreisberg and Johns, and directed by David Nutter, has been greenlit.

There's already a Flash thread somewhere and stuff regarding the show has been posted there.

There is a thread for a possible Flash film, and there has been some discussion about this show in the 'Arrow', thread, but I couldn't find a thread dedicated for this series yet.

Any idea if there will be frequent crossovers between Arrow and The Flash? Or are they going to be mostly separate?

It would be nice to see DC doing in TV what Marvel has done quite successfully in movies.

It would be nice if they do exist in the same universe, Arrow's version of Deathstroke is pretty bad ass.

The guy playing Flash in this series is the same person who appeared in Arrow, they definitely are in the same universe. They take place in different cities so they may not cross over too much, though.

Also, it should be noted that John Wesley Shipp played the Flash in the original show, and has a role in this series as well. Jay Garrick maybe?

The producers confirmed they do.
Pre-Flash Barry Allen has already appeared in Arrow, in the episodes The Scientist and Three Ghosts.
Given how Arrow turned out, I'm pretty pumped for this.

It's not entirely clear if that's the case yet. It might be or it might not be.
