paulvdb May 14, 2020 Share May 14, 2020 CW 2021 schedule The CW plans to start its new season in January 2021 with Black Lightning on Mondays at 9PM Quote That is all if there is not further major production disruption from the coronavirus pandemic next year. While “we take an optimistic view at the moment,” Pedowitz acknowledged the CW also continues to look at acquisitions of English-language scripted series and is in discussions on multiple projects as a contingency, in case Hollywood production does not resume by fall. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57340-shocking-black-lightning-in-the-news/page/7/#findComment-6127612

George Floyd's life mattered. Those were my thoughts as I headed out to protest on a cloudy day in L.A. last month. As I approached the protest, I saw cars on fire, protestors injured from rubber bullets and armed military on every corner. I felt like I was shooting a scene on the set of Black Lightning, except there wasn't a director yelling "action" and "cut." I quickly snapped out of my flashback of being on set and realized this was real life. On this day I had somewhat of an understanding of the spirit of the 1960s.

Lantern7 September 6, 2020 Share September 6, 2020 Back when Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice aired on Cartoon Network, there were also cartoon shorts under the "DC Nation" banner. And I had totally forgotten that two of them centered on Black Lightning. Actually, the shorts were labeled "Thunder & Lightning." There were just two, both airing in early 2013. Both shorts were cute, and they make for a nice contrast to Black Lightning. Take a look: I figured the Media thread was the best place to share.

tv echo September 16, 2020 Share September 16, 2020 (edited) DC FanDome: Beyond September 16, 2020 Mika A. Epsteinhttps://lezwatchtv.com/2020/dc-fandome-beyond/ Quote Black Lightning * * * Actor/filmmaker Robert Townsend moderated the panel, playing homage to the 90s (seriously everyone was dressed up) and talking about when things were lit. The cast talked about the importance of people supporting them (family) and of representation. Just seeing Sidney Poitier on the screen is why we have Cress Williams. But it also takes a lot of hard work, courage, and determination to stand up and do what it takes to be an actor (especially when you’re black and female). They also spoke about the current state of the world (pandemic, quarantine, BLM). If you’ve watched Black Lightning you know the show doesn’t shy away from being political. The actors on the show do so as well, reflecting again the need for that representation. We have to be able to see ourselves, but for White people, we need to see other people and other stories. Opening our eyes to the world as it is, and having that mirrored on television will help shape us as a society. And we have to keep working. All of those things are why people like Black Lightning. It’s a show that speaks to us, that turns the camera to the truth of living in America, and resonates with everyone. It lets people learn what it’s like for others in a way that isn’t preachy or over the top (well, as much as a superhero show can be). And of course … Thundergrace. Nafessa wants to keep seeing the show be relevant, to keep abreast of the world and what’s happening in it. At the same time, it would be on fire if Gambi finally made Grace her own supersuit! She also answered a question, if we would get to see a ThunderGrace Wedding. As she laughed, Nafessa said she tried and they almost got there. Their love is complicated but Nafessa absolutely wants to see it. FYI: Video of DC FanDome's Black Lightning panel was previously posted above.

Trini September 24, 2020 Share September 24, 2020 Quotes from Nafessa Williams featured in this article at Teen Vogue: 'The CW Actresses Asking for More, And Getting It' Excerpt: Quote Back in July, Black Lightning’s Nafessa Williams penned an open letter to E! calling for equality in Hollywood. The crux of Nafessa’s letter, inspired by the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor protests, highlighted the need for more Black writers, producers, showrunners, hairstylists, and well-rounded storytelling. She began the letter with a quote from the late John Lewis encouraging young people to get into “good trouble.” “If we're going to fight for this country, if we can give our lives over to this country, then we should be treated fairly,” Nafessa tells Teen Vogue. “We're really beyond sick and tired of asking to be seen and to be seen fairly and treated equally. That's what it is, as a whole, in Hollywood. What I said in my letter [is that change] starts at the top. It starts with the decision-makers. It starts at the studios. It starts with the networks and it even trickles down to the agents, and the managers, and representation. We're not asking to just be there just to be there, but we're actually qualified.” 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/57340-shocking-black-lightning-in-the-news/page/7/#findComment-6365000

I think Jordan Calloway is good in this role; I guess we'll see if he can carry a series. I'm starting a topic to discuss the (potential) spinoff.
