He’s still got the power. The CW has renewed the Black Lightning TV show for a fourth season which will air as part of the 2020-21 network television season.
The Black Lightning TV show is based on DC Comics characters and stars Cress Williams, Christine Adams, China Ann McClain, Nafessa Williams, James Remar, Marvin Jones III, and Damon Gupton. In the series, Jefferson Pierce (Williams) is a former Olympic athlete, a respected educator, and a family man. He’s also Black Lightning, the superpowered protector of the city of Freeland who has the ability to sense and harness electricity. His daughters Anissa (Williams) and Jennifer (McClain) also have powers and superhero personas of their own. Lynn Stewart (Adams) is Jefferson’s ex-wife and an expert in metahuman medicine and they are still very much in love. Together, the Pierce family faces the challenges of a declined urban community, including infamous gangster, Tobias Whale (Jones III), and a menacing gang that calls itself The 100.
The third season of Black Lightning is averaging a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 679,000 viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 24% in the demo and down by 30% in viewership.

I just found this show yesterday and I love it. Binge watched all night. Thrilled it’s been renewed.
OMG! I love this show. I just learned about it. Bingeing now. Well written and directed. Real race, gender, social and economic issues and history in palatable form. Great casting & acting, soundtrack is fire. So glad it has been renewed. It needs much better marketing to non-comic black audiences. Rating would be much better.
Love this show!!
