Why isn’t The Flash on this week? Well, because Season 4 doesn’t return until Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2018. The series will pick up with episode 10, “Trial Of The Flash,” at 8 p.m. Team Flash will have to find a way to prove Barry Allen’s innocence after Clifford DeVoe was found dead in his apartment, and do it before The Thinker’s true plans come to fruition. This will be an exciting midseason return for longtime Flash fans is it’s anything like the Trial Of The Flash arc from the comics that saw Barry Allen convicted of murdering the Reverse-Flash.

The Black Lightning series premiere will air at 9 p.m. January 16, immediately following The Flash. For Legends and Supergirl fans, the DCTV scheduling change will take some getting used to. Supergirl Season 3 returns Monday, January 15th, but will take another break after the Feb. 5 episode airs. Starting Feb. 12 with "Daddy Darkest" and John Constantine's appearance, Legends will take the 8 p.m. Monday timeslot until the season concludes its final nine episodes. Supergirl will pick back up with Season 3 episode 14 on April 16.

Thankfully, there are no changes to the Arrow schedule. Season 6 episode 10, “Divided,” airs January 18 at 9 p.m. The title likely alludes to the fact Team Arrow is no more. Dinah Drake, Mr. Terrific and Wild Dog all left the team after they found out Oliver spied on them to find out who leaked his secret identity to the feds. The trailer for the episode (below) suggests Ollie’s three former allies are making a team of their own.

In addition to the loss of his friends, Oliver is also facing the impending threat of Cayden James’ new posse made up of Black Siren, his old Bratva friend Anatoly Knyazev, Vigilante, Richard Dragon, and another guy who we don’t recognize yet. Watch the trailer below.
