Below are a few articles with some new teases I thought everyone would like to read, the rest is similar to what was announced at The TCA's.
E! News: What will people be most shocked by in the premiere?
Todd Helbing: I think they're going to be most shocked by Joe.
Aaron Helbing: I think they'll be most shocked by Caitlin. I think it's amazing. I just love Caitlin in it.
Todd: It's funny, because the shock is on two completely different levels, too. What really resonates is while it's a different version, much like Earth-2 it's the same but different, it doesn't feel like a completely different show.
How will the timeline affect the other shows?
Aaron: It'll affect Diggle the most.
Todd: Supergirl's on another Earth, so it won't affect that. And Legends, they're time traveling anyway. In the crossovers everything is going to come together.
There was a bit of criticism that season one and two's villains were too similar, how will people feel about this year's big bad(s)?
Aaron: Doctor Alchemy is not a speedster. He's like an alchemist, he's able to turn things into other things. He's a bad dude!

IGN: How are you not going to repeat yourself with this because you have had two before?
Helbing: Savitar is more of a psychological villain in a weird way. I think the Hindu word for Savitar means God of Speed; he's all about speed. Everything about this guy is different. I can't go into super detail, but he's not like Zoom or Reverse Flash.
IGN: What can you tease about the themes or some of the things that Barry deals with that you guys were really excited to get into the kick off this season?
Helbing: The first two seasons are about family. Family that I had, family that I lost. Now this is really the family that I've created. And so, this whole idea that Barry can change the people in his lives that are important to him by going back in time. What Barry is constantly learning is the consequences of his actions. Creatively, it's such a fertile ground to explore what somebody's life would be like if they actually had something that they lost, and what the reality of that is. I think often times as people you think one version would be better -- it's always grass is greener -- but it's always, in Barry's world, the consequences. He's going remember. He's going to know what he's lost at the same time.’’
IGN: We also learned that Jay Garrick is The Flash on Earth-3 at the end of Season 2. What can you tease of how that will intersect with this season, especially with the Flashpoint complications?
Helbing: Jay Garrick and him are free. Those other Earths aren't affected, much like Supergirl is not affected because she's on whatever Earth she's on. Jay Garrick on Earth-3 still exists as Jay Garrick -- nothing has changed. And I think that now Barry knows where he is, and that there is somebody a lot older than him, a lot more experienced, even though he looks like his father, he's going to use him for advice every-so-often.

Is there anything you would say to reassure the WestAllen fans who are nervous about the Flashpoint storyline?
HELBING: Barry Allen and Iris West are an iconic relationship. We set it up, at the end of Season 2, that they were going to get together, and then he undid it. But, these two are destined to be together. I would say to keep watching. As with destiny, things end up playing out the way you hoped they would.
