What is it about?
It is too early to anticipate the plot of season 4, the makers have not revealed anything about the storyline of season 4. The finale episode of Season 3 guarantees that the city of Freeland will nevermore be as it existed. Maybe we will witness new begins in season 4 of Black Lightning.
For those of you unaware of what the series is all about, here goes the synopsis “The series focuses on Jefferson Pierce, the principal of Garfield High School in the city of Freeland. Nine years ago, he was a superhero called Black Lightning until he retired after what his life was doing to his family. Jefferson is forced to become Black Lightning again when The 100, Freeland’s most feared criminal gang, led by Tobias Whale was taking over the city.” (Source- Wiki)
