New additions, more superheroes and a mysterious briefcase: With Black Lightning Season 2 around the corner, here is everything we know

Black Lightning’s nemesis, Tobias Whale, played by Marvin Krondon Jones III, ended up with secrets the evil A.S.A. organization was using to experiment on the people of Freeland

'Black Lightning', the American superhero television series developed by Salim Akil, airing on The CW, is set to kick off season two on October 9 and here is everything we know about the upcoming season.

But first, let’s brush up our memory from season one. Black Lightning aka Jefferson Pierce (played by Cress Williams) had dealt with Martin Proctor and the A.S.A. and no longer has to hide his powers. He also doesn't have to protect his identity from his family, daughter Anissa Pierce (Nafeesa Williams) and Jennifer Pierce (China Anne McClain). It was also revealed that Pierce’s daughters also have superpowers. While Anisa embraced these powers, Jennifer is still seen struggling with it.

Season two will see new characters and of course, new challenges for Black Lightning along with the city of Freeland.
