Black Lightning fans are in for something special. Deadline reports The CW is developing a spin-off based on the TV show’s character Painkiller.
A DC Comics drama, Black Lightning follows Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams), a former Olympic athlete and family man who moonlights as a superhero and protector of the city Freeland.
