BLACK LIGHTNING Television Pilot Lands at Fox

Last week, it was revealed that DC TV mastermind Greg Berlanti is working on a potential series starring Black Lightning. Berlanti is developing the project with husband/wife duo Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil. Now, the project has found a network.

It has been announced (via TV Line) that Fox has picked up the pilot for Black Lightning. This would serve as Fox’s third current DC project. Gotham is entering its third season on the network this fall, while Vertigo adaptation Lucifer is going into its second.

Black Lightning will focus on Jefferson Pierce, who retired as the vigilante Black Lightning years ago. But with a daughter hell-bent on justice and a star student being recruited by a local gang, Pierce will once again don the suit.

Stay tuned for more news as we have it.
