SDCC 2019: Sendhil Ramamurthy Cast As The Flash Season 6 Villain

It looks like it’s time for Barry Allen to get some Bloodwork. Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes) has been cast to play the villain Bloodwork in the upcoming sixth season, announced at Comic-Con.

In this adaptation of the character,Dr. Ramsey Rosso, a brilliant physician with a genius intellect, and the world’s leading expert on hematological oncology. A former colleague of S.T.A.R. Labs’ Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker), Rosso rekindles their friendship after they are reunited by an unexpected event. But their longtime bond is quickly shattered when the doctor’s desire to defy the laws of nature takes him down a dark path…one that transforms Rosso from an old friend into the most chilling villain Team Flash has ever faced: the monstrous Bloodwork. When I talked to The Flash cast yesterday at Comic-Con, Candice Patton expressed just how dangerous this new villain will be. Hear that answer on an upcoming podcast. Crisis on Infinite Earths is also looming, so it’s going to be a very challenging for Team Flash.

The Flash Season 6 premieres Tuesday, October 8th on The CW.
