'Black Lightning': Here is your refresher ahead of season 2 premiere

The premiere episode of 'Black Lightning' season 2 titled 'The Book of Consequences: Chapter One: Rise of the Green Light Babies' will be aired by the CW on October 9

‘Black Lightning’ is finally returning to our TV screens with season 2 and there is quite a bit to look forward to this time around. From the full-fledged exploration of Freeland to Jennifer’s (portrayed by China Anne McClain) struggles with accepting her newly discovered powers there is quite a bit of ground to cover come October 9, 9/8c.

The new season will address the cliffhangers from season 1 and help us understand the history of the town and its people better. The last season did lay the groundwork for ‘Black Lightning’ to become one of the most beloved superheroes on TV.  

In the beginning, ‘Black Lightning,’ starring Cress Williams, was a show about a reluctant hero who wanted nothing more than to inspire the youth of his run-down town by being a role model they can count on rather than being a vigilante exacting justice in the shadows. As the show evolved, fans saw him embrace who he is and use his powers for the greater good.
