After a successful first season, the electrifying family is gearing up for its second season as the cast and producers previewed what is coming up in Season 2 at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

DC TV Podcasts’ Andy Behbakht (The Flash Podcast, Titans Podcast) was fortunate to attend the press room to chat with the cast and producers what to expect in the new season. two of the great talents present were executive producers Salim Akil and Mara Brock Akil. Throughout the roundtable interview, the Akils spoke about the following for Season 2:

-What we can expect from the first four episodes, which will be under a new book title

-The fleshing out of the Outsiders group

-Whether or not they have the whole series mapped out or if they take one season at a time

-Whether or not Grace Choi will have powers or not

Black Lightning Season 2 premieres on Tuesday, October 9 at 9/8c on The CW!
