'Black Lightning' season 2 will explore Freeland, the superhero's city, in surprising new ways
We are just weeks away from the return of 'Black Lightning' and if season one is anything to go by, we have a spectacular season two on the cards. The only superhero show on The CW to not be part of the Arrowverse, ‘Black Lightning’ has managed to stand alone and amass a huge fan following. A lot of that is thanks to the realistic and relatable representation of the fictional Urban American neighborhood on the show.
Freeland, the city of Black Lightning aka Jefferson Pierce (portrayed by Cress Williams), has a rich political and cultural background that was slowly developed over the course of season one, through various instances like Gambi’s (James Remar) confession about coming to the city on a top-secret government assignment and the revelation of 'Shadow Board' that plays the invisible, invincible God council that dictates everything that happens in the city.
