Hart of Dixie vet Cress Williams stars as Jefferson Pierce, a former superhero who hung up his suit and focused on getting back into normal civilian life as a father and high school teacher.
But when one of his daughters, a star student, is being tapped to join a vicious gang, Jefferson must once again get back to delivering justice to his city, one powerful electric bolt at a time.
There are so many things I enjoy about the Black Lightning trailer, especially as compared to the superhero shows within the Arrow-verse, and I’m incredibly hopeful that all pilot footage is indicative of what’s to come, and not just the calling card to get the series ordered.
