BLACK LIGHTNING Season 2 Character Breakdowns Reveal A New Love Interest, Villains And More
Season 1 of Black Lighting introduced us to the Pierce family as well as a number of other characters, and now Season 2 will expand the cast even further with new villains and more allies for our heroes.
The first season of the CW’s Black Lightning introduced audiences to a number of new heroes and villians, and while many of them will be returning for the second season, the series is also set to gain some new cast members.
Now, thanks to some character breakdowns from That Hashtag Show, we have some details on some of the new arrivals to the city of Freeland.
The first role is refered to as “Perenna” and is a therapist in her 40s or 50s with telepathic powers. Her role in Season 2 will largely involve Jennifer Pierce, as she will be helping the young metahuman understand her powers.
Along with this ally, the show may be getting two new villains. There is “Zlovac” who is a Caucasian male in his 30s and a partner to Tobias Whale. Then we have “Dr. Jace,” which may be a codename for DC Comics' Helga Race. This character is a computational chemist in her 40s and a “highly manipulative baddie who may or may not be a sociopath.”
Yet, it won’t just be Black Lightning facing trouble, as his civilian identity of Jefferson Pierce will have to deal with the character currently called “Major Lowry,” who will be replacing Jefferson as the principal of Garfield High.
Finally, we’ve learned that Annisa will be getting a new love interest in the form of “Zoe B,” a social media savvy young woman “filled with confidence and edge.” There’s no word on what this means for Chantal Thuy’s Grace Choi, who was romantically linked to Thunder in the first season, but it sounds like their relationship is facing some trouble.
So, what do you folks make of these new additions? To share your thoughts, comment below.
