Telly’s Take

Will The CW cancel or renew Black Lightning for season four? This network relies less on ratings data than the others and, last year, it renewed all of its regular season shows. I think this one will be renewed this time around, too. I’ll still keep an eye on the ratings and update this page with breaking developments.
