"The Flash" isn't returning until later this month, but executive producer Andrew Kreisberg is already giving fans an inside scoop on who's set to return in the upcoming episodes of The CW show.

"We are beyond excited to have Robbie back on 'The Flash'," Kreisberg told Entertainment Weekly. "You can’t keep a good Firestorm down. Only this time, he’s back with a twist, a deadly Earth-Two version of our beloved Ronnie in the form of Deathstorm."

Comicbook reports that Robbie Amell is set to reprise his role as Ronnie Raymond, who fans previously saw as half of Firestorm along with Martin Stein, who was played by Victor Garber. The last time fans saw Amell, however, he sacrificed himself to save Central City from being destroyed. Upon his return, however, he will be playing the Ronnie Raymond from Earth-Two, who went on to become the villain Deathstorm. As per Comicbook, Ronnie Raymond became Deathstorm after he was resurrected in the "Blackest Night" comics.

TV Line reports that fans will also meet Caitlyn Snow's Earth-Two persona, the ice queen Killer Frost on the second season of "The Flash". In October, Danielle Panabaker spoke to Collider about her character, Caitlyn's future as Killer Frost and how her powers come later than her peers.

"[Caitlyn] has the power of often being the only female voice in the room, to boss them around a little bit. I don’t think it consciously occurs to her," Panabaker explained. " It’s just the world she lives in now. Cisco’s new powers come slowly, and there are some complications with all of that."

"I don’t think Caitlin is particularly jealous of all of these superpowers," the 28-year-old actress admitted. "She’s a doctor and a nurturer. She wants to make sure everyone is okay."

Kreisberg also discussed Caitlyn and Robbie's relationship with The Hollywood Reporter in October, when the producer explained the dynamic of Caitlyn losing her fiance for the second time around.

"What is interesting is in the premiere, everyone thinks that the other person is blaming them for what happened, and the truth is, she blames herself," Kreisberg said. "Last year, she had the chance to leave with Ronnie and she didn't take it. She's more upset at herself."

"But Caitlin is not as broken as she was last time she lost Ronnie," Kreisberg muses. "She's gone through it once before and she's grown up and gotten stronger from it. She's going to find herself possibly opening herself up to the prospect of a new relationship."

"The Flash" returns to television on Tuesday, Jan. 19 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
