Black Lightning to End Next Season

The CW has announced that the upcoming fourth season of Black Lightning will be its last. A reason for the cancellation has not yet been given, but showrunner Salim Akil issued the following statement.

When we first started the Black Lighting journey, I knew that Jefferson Pierce and his family of powerful Black Women would be a unique addition to the super hero genre. The love that Blerds and all comic book fans around the globe have shown this series over the past three seasons proved what we imagined, Black People Want To See Themselves in all their complexities. Thank you to the phenomenal cast, writers and crew without whom none of this would’ve been possible. I'm incredibly proud of the work we’ve been able to do and the moments we've been able to create in bringing DC's first African-American family of super heroes to life for the culture. I'm very grateful to Peter Roth, Warner Bros. TV, Mark Pedowitz, The CW Network and Greg Berlanti for their partnership and support of my vision at every step of this journey. While Season Four may be the end of one journey, I'm extremely excited to usher in a new chapter and continued collaboration with The CW as we tell the story of Painkiller.

Actress Chantal Thuy has been upped to series regular status on Black Lightning. She has recurred for the last three seasons as metahuman shapeshifter, Grace Choi. Showrunner Salim Akil commented,

Chantal Thuy embodies the character of Grace Choi. I am sure our Black Lightning fans knew, especially those who follow the Grace and Anissa relationship storyline, that having Chantal join as a series regular was only a matter of time. I am elated to finally welcome her officially to the team.

Actress Chyler Leigh (Alex Danvers) is set to direct an episode of Supergirl, according to information from the Director's Guild. Her episode is the third to film of the next season and will air sometime next year. (Thanks to Twitter user @yvrshoots for the heads-up.)

UPDATE: The PDF has been updated and her name removed. It's unclear if it was an error or some sort of scheduling change.

UPDATE 2: I think it's just schedule weirdness.

Raffi Barsoumian Cast in Legends of Tomorrow

TVLine is reporting that Raffi Barsoumian has been cast in Legends of Tomorrow as Bishop. The character is described as follows,

But despite his purported love of humanity, Bishop isn’t great with people. He pretends to be a groovy bon vivant with a taste for cognac and a killer vinyl collection, but in fact, he’s a sadistic egomaniac who treats all living creatures — human and alien alike — as his scientific playthings. Bishop’s drive to play god may very well hasten the world’s end. And it was no accident that Bishop lived to see the world’s end. He used his brilliant scientific mind to give himself, well, certain enhancements.

Sarah Shahi Cast in Black Adam

Deadline is reporting that Sarah Shahi has joined the cast of DC's Black Adam film as an unnamed "university professor and freedom fighter leading the resistance in" the fictional nation of Kahndaq.

HBO Max Orders The Suicide Squad Prequel, Peacemaker

HBO Max has given an eight-episode straight-to-series order to Peacemaker. The "action-adventure-comedy" series focuses on the origin of John Cena's character from the upcoming movie, who's described as "a man who believes in maintaining peace at all costs—no matter how many people he needs to kill to do it." James Gunn will serve as writer, director, and executive producer with Peter Safran and John Cena as executive producer and co-executive producer, respectively. Gunn commented,

Peacemaker is an opportunity to delve into current world issues through the lens of this superhero/supervillain/and world’s biggest douchebag. I’m excited to expand The Suicide Squad and bring this character from the DC film universe to the full breadth of a series. And of course, to be able to work again with John, Peter, and my friends at Warner Bros. is the icing on the cake.

Supergirl to Conclude After Next Season

The CW and Warner Bros TV have announced that the Supergirl will not return after its upcoming sixth season, which will run for twenty episodes.

Lisseth Chavez Cast in Legends of Tomorrow

DC has announced that Lisseth Chavez will be joining Legends of Tomorrow season six as a series regular. Her character, Spooner Cruz, is described as follows,

Tough and self-sufficient, Spooner Cruz lives off the grid, devising ingenious tech for the detection of—and defense against—space aliens. And while some might call her paranoid, she calls it being prepared. A survivor of a childhood alien encounter, Spooner now believes she has the ability to communicate telepathically with aliens—making her the perfect recruit for Waverider captains Sara Lance, Ava Sharpe and the Legends who, in season six, will be hunting down extraterrestrials who have been displaced throughout history.

Having spent last season tracking down the Loom of Fate in order to bring back their slain comrades, the Legends must now save history from a foe like none they have ever encountered in the past or future…space aliens! After Sara is abducted by a ruthless alien, this new mission becomes personal. It will take more than the combined powers of the Legends to save the world for a sixth time. They must recruit a new Legend: Spooner Cruz, a woman uniquely qualified to help the team defeat their intergalactic foes. Either that or she’s just crazy…
