Well, this won’t come as much of a surprise given the ratings the show has been pulling in, but according to Spoiler TV The CW has renewed The Flash for a second season, in addition to its comedy series Jane the Virgin. The spin-off to Arrow has been averaging 4 million viewers per week, and is due to return from its midseason break on January 20th.
UPDATE: Looks like someone at Spoiler TV has jumped the gun, as The CW has confirmed that both shows are yet to be renewed.

“After a particle accelerator causes a freak storm, CSI Investigator Barry Allen is struck by lightning and falls into a coma. Months later he awakens with the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion – and not everyone is using their new powers for good. Barry partners with S.T.A.R. Labs and dedicates his life to protect the innocent. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become… The Flash.”
