Black Lightning Season 2: Guess Who's Back? CW Offers a Reminder

With Black Lightning set to return to the CW tonight after a well-received first season, the stakes are much higher (and deadlier) heading into season 2 – especially for the Pierce family. Jefferson Pierce aka Black Lightning (Cress Williams), Anissa Pierce aka Thunder (Nafessa Williams) and the rest of "Team Lightning" are going to have a lot more than a returning Tobias Whale (Marvin "Krondon" Jones III) to contend with (a threat worthy of its own season, as we've seen): now that Green Light's out in the community, the battle for Freeland's future has gotten a lot deadlier.

But if you thought for a second that our heroes were done for, you might want to check out the series' new extended trailer – because it looks like they're just getting started:

Jefferson Pierce is a man wrestling with a secret. Nine years ago, Pierce was gifted with the superhuman power to harness and control electricity, which he used to keep his hometown streets safe as the masked vigilante Black Lightning. However, after too many nights with his life and his family on the line, he left his Super Hero days behind. Almost a decade later, Pierce's crime-fighting days are long behind him…or so he thought. But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, Black Lightning returns — to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community.
