Candice Patton Dishes On Introducing More Female Friendships On 'The Flash' In Season 6

Female friendships are going to be a big focus on the upcoming season of The Flash, especially when it comes to Iris’s new paper.

Candice Patton opened up about the new season recently, revealing that while hiring for her newspaper staff, Iris will be bringing in several female hires.

“Iris is hiring a whole team of people to get this off the ground,” Candice shared with press. “Kamilla [Hwang] will be shooting photography for Iris and will be back in the mix, around at the paper. It’s definitely going to be a set and storyline we visit often in Season 6.”

She added that the new staff at the paper will allow Iris to step into a new role as a mentor.

“There’s definitely a few females that she hires, that she definitely has a bond with. I think it’s more of like a mentor, mentee kind of relationship,” Candice continued. “These younger women that she’s kind of bringing up in the world of journalism and looking after.”

“I think there are going to be much more of those kind of female friendships, especially in the workplace, which I’m really excited about.”

The Flash returns in October on The CW.
