Once The CW knows it will be around longer, then the conversations about Black Lightning crossing over with the Arrowverse could start up.
Black Lightning continues next Tuesday with ‘The Book of Hope’ at 9 p.m. on The CW.
Legends of Tomorrow debuted to a 1.3 demo and 3.2 million viewers in 2016, while Supergirl‘s CW debut for season 2 started off with a 1.1 demo and 3 million viewers.
The fact that Black Lightning can debut on par with Riverdale is quite impressive, and should bode well for the show’s longterm future.
