Black Lightning will return for its fourth season in early 2021 on The CW and will be assisting Netflix in many regions around the world in 2021. Here is the current anticipated Netflix release program for Black Lightning season 4 and what we know so far.
Developed by Salim Akil, Black Lightning is one of the new rosters within Arrowverse that should have been originally targeted by Fox later in the day. Instead, it has found its way to The CW and Netflix in many places around the world.
Cress Williams plays the role of Jefferson Pierce, a crime-fighting principal who returns to his former life as Black Lightning. Some have long been rumored that Foreigners will be going to Black Lightning but that has not yet been officially confirmed.
Black Lightning Season 4: Update
In recent years, new episodes of the show have been broadcast every October as well as other shows from Arrowverse (a great guide on how to watch Arrowverse on Netflix here) on CW.
That changes in season 4 due to the negative reasons being the global epidemic and its impact on knocking on products around the world where many articles from The CW have been affected.
As a result and next to the full list from The CW, its season 4 coverage was postponed to January 2021 although no date has been announced. The US continues to acquire Black Lightning as part of an old Netflix and CW release agreement.
This show for shows released before the fall of 2019 sees all CW primetime shows coming to Netflix for the new seasons about 9 days after the end of their season.
That means we currently expect the series to wrap up at least three months later in 2021 and reach Netflix US between May and August 2021. Outside of the US, Netflix treats the show as Netflix Original which includes regions such as the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada.
Although some of the previous episodes have hit Netflix internationally every week it has stopped happening in season 3. Instead, the series descends on Netflix in the same way as the US even though it is not exactly the same day.
So that means those outside the US can also expect the release date of the 2021 season 4 season.
