In just two weeks, The CW's latest superhero hit, Black Lightning, is back for a second season that will see Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) and his family continue their battle to protect Freeland from Tobias Whale (Marvin Jones III) and his evil minions.

The season premiere will pick up shortly after the events of April's first season finale with the Pierce family doing their best to help Jennifer (China Anne McClain) with her powers, but it seems that not everything is going to go according to plan. Meanwhile, Jefferson runs into trouble at his day job when the board considers shutting down his school.

"The Book of Consequences: Chapter One: Rise of the Green Light Babies" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

ROBERT TOWNSEND, BILL DUKE AND ANGELA RYE GUEST STAR - Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) and his family may have survived Tobias's (Marvin Jones III) attack, but they're not out of the woods yet. Concerned for the safety of Garfield's students, the board considers a motion to shut down the school, forcing Jefferson to go to Napier Frank (guest star Robert Townsend) to sway the vote. Jennifer (China Anne McClain) struggles with her powers and her actions have unforeseen repercussions. Meanwhile, Anissa (Nafessa Williams) finds a new way to give back to Freeland. Lastly, Lynn (Christine Adams) continues her quest much to the dismay of Agent Odell (guest star Bill Duke). Damon Gupton and James Remar also star. The episode was directed and written by Salim Akil (#201). Original airdate 10/9/2018.

Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) is a man wrestling with a secret. As the father of two daughters and principal of a charter high school that also serves as a safe haven for young people in a New Orleans neighborhood overrun by gang violence, he is a hero to his community. Nine years ago, Pierce was a hero of a different sort. Gifted with the superhuman power to harness and control electricity, he used those powers to keep his hometown streets safe as the masked vigilante Black Lightning. However, after too many nights with his life on the line, and seeing the effects of the damage and loss that his alter ego was inflicting on his family, he left his Super Hero days behind and settled into being a principal and a dad. Choosing to help his city without using his superpowers, he watched his daughters Anissa (Nafessa Williams) and Jennifer (China Anne McClain) grow into strong young women, even though his marriage to their mother, Lynn (Christine Adams), suffered. Almost a decade later, Pierce’s crime-fighting days are long behind him…or so he thought. But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, and those he cares about in the crosshairs of the menacing local gang The One Hundred, Black Lightning returns — to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community.

Black Lightning features:
Cress Williams as Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning
China Anne McClain as Jennifer Pierce
Nafessa Williams as Anissa Pierce/Thunder
Christine Adams as Lynn Pierce
Marvin "Krondon" Jones III as Tobias Whale
Damon Gupton as Inspector William Henderson
James Remar as Peter Gambi
Jordan Calloway as Khalil Payne/Painkiller

Black Lightning returns with an all-new episode October 9

Vice Principal actress is THICC.

QUITEMASSIVE - 9/28/2018, 7:27 PM

So is black lightning part of the arrowverse or not??

NinnesMBC - 9/28/2018, 9:06 PM

@QUITEMASSIVE - It seems it isn’t yet. Despite it being promoted in the first teaser for Batwoman with the rest of the shows or even sharing a small cameo in the end with the locker room suit up promo etc. I hope that once Freeland and their cast of characters and more has been fully fleshed out that they do crossover and confirm it has always been in the vicinity of the Multiverse.

Snowbirdd - 9/28/2018, 8:15 PM

Skye P. Marshall (Ms. Fowdy) is THICC

Snowbirdd - 9/28/2018, 8:16 PM

And wtf, didn't Reverend Holt get shot?

As I typed that, I vaguely remember a line of dialog suggesting he survived.

NinnesMBC - 9/28/2018, 9:15 PM

I had misses this show so much. Can’t wait to see what was in the briefcase and Tobias has in store.

And what happens with the “Green Light Babies” aka the young metas in those containers. Seems there is going to be a leak and they will have to go and find them and stop them before Tobia and co.or the A.S.A. does it first.

Hyped about Jennifer's powers and her eventual costume from Gambi.

And I really love the song used for the promo.

#BlackLightningIsBack

MrCamw1 - 9/28/2018, 9:49 PM

I have one criticism and thats they make Gambi the epossition dialogue guy. Like when him and Tobius meet up randomly he says "just because youve got that serum inside of you that makes you no longer age......"something like that when im sure there are other ways to give us information. Besides that im exceited for season 2.
