"I'm ready for it to be over," the actor, who played Barry Allen, told E! News in March 2023 ahead of the CW show's final season. "And that's not for any negative reason. It's like when you're getting ready to finish high school and—granted I don't know what college I'm going to after this, I might not get into college—but you're excited to wrap up and move on to the next phase of your life."

Grant added at the time, "I'm ready emotionally and my family is ready to just kind of move into the next chapter together."
