Nearly all the cast from the previous seasons will be returning to the 7th season, with an exception to Hartley Sawyer who was a part of the series from the starting as Ralph Dibny aka Elongated Man. The decision comes after a long-standing controversy about him tweeting discriminatory about the blacks and passing derogatory comments on women. Although he did that before getting a job in the show, the decision comes taking in mind the protests that have emerged in the USA and several European countries regarding the racial death of a black man named George Floyd who was suffocated to death by a white supremacist police officer in Minneapolis.
The lead star of the show, Grant Gustin, too agreed with the decision of makers and echoed same thoughts while posting the statement on his social media account.
The co-creator of the iconic sitcom, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Marta Kauffman too expressed her regret over not being well-informed to promote more racial diversity in the show.

Hartley’s account has been deleted, however, as the production team they had to escalate that concern as the agitation among the protesters and the general public is impeccable.
