What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on The CW television network, Black Lightning stars Cress Williams, Nafessa Williams, China Anne McClain, James Remar, Damon Gupton, Christine Adams, and Marvin Jones III. The DC Comics superhero drama centers on Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams). While he once waged a vigilante war against crime — using the masked persona “Black Lightning”— Pierce retired years ago and now serves as the principal of a charter high school. Crime and corruption are running amok, now that The One Hundred — a dangerous gang — has the city it is grasp. Endowed with the amazing ability to harness and control electricity, Black Lightning jumps back into action. Now the community stands a fighting chance, but at what cost to his family?

Telly’s Take
Will the network cancel or renew Black Lightning for season two? The ratings are pretty strong (by CW standards) and it fits well with the rest of the network’s superhero shows so, at this point, it looks like it will get a second season. I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page as more information rolls in. Subscribe for free updates on any Black Lightning cancellation or renewal news.

Correction.. Are tired and done. Teen flicks was an 80’s thing.
Love the show. I think people just hate what it stands for. Riverdale and other teen flicks or tired and done.
Thank you for season two I can’t wait. Really good show. I can finally watch a good show other then the flash.
Great show!! Thank u for renewing!!
Keep Black Lightning the other cw super hero shows are boring and all look alike.
Black lightning should be cancelled it does not fit the cw shows its a old man being a super hero cw is mainly a teenage fan base so it needs to go keep dynasty and Riverdale but we can do without black lightning seriously
