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.

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.
