Season five of The Flash hit The CW in America yesterday (October 9).
The Flash season five will consist of 23 episodes, just like the previous runs which will be aired on a weekly basis.
UK fans of The Flash can watch season five on Sky One but will most likely have to wait several weeks after the initial American broadcast.
Season five can be streamed via NOW TV either live during UK broadcast on Sky One or on-demand post-broadcast.
Sky subscribers can also watch The Flash on Sky Go.
Meanwhile, seasons one to three of The Flash are available to watch on Amazon Instant Video for a fee but not on Amazon Prime.
The Flash season four finished up back in May.
The season four finale - titled We Are The Flash - aired in the UK on Tuesday, May 29.
A synopsis for season five reads: "Matching wits with The Thinker, who by season’s end had harnessed the powers of all twelve bus metas he created, stretched Team Flash to their limits, but with the help of some new allies, Barry Allen (aka The Flash) and company were able to put a stop to the Enlightenment and save Central City once again.
"However, with the arrival of Barry and Iris’ speedster daughter, Nora, who arrived from the future admitting to having made a 'big mistake,' things are anything but status quo.
"Will parenthood be the challenge that finally slows The Flash down?"
The Flash season 5 airs weekly on The CW
