The CW's TV series will reportedly premiere at the midseason point during the 2017-2018 television season. The younger-skewing broadcast network has built up its number of DC Comics adaptations in recent years, expanding its shared superhero universe to include , , , and the CBS transplant. Since the Girl of Steel's solo show launched on a different network and, as such, didn't exist in the same universe as the Green Arrow and The Flash, The CW's DC TV creative team have since established Kara Danvers lives in Earth-38 within the multiverse with Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow on Earth-1. Now, while The CW is looking to add a fifth DC Comics superhero show to their lineup, with , it's unclear whether will exist in the same universe as the majority of the network's comic book series. Now, a new report indicates when the show will debut on The CW.

Certainly considering , one who hung up his suit but will be getting back into the game, its premise is incredibly different to the other shows. It should be noted that Black Lightning has not yet been officially picked up to series, nor has a premiere date been announced. However, all indicators point to the show getting picked up, though probably with a shorter season run. Legends of Tomorrow season 1 debuted at the midseason 2015-2016 point and ran for only 16 episodes. In fact, if the number of episodes is any indication 17 episodes , Black Lightning could act as the show's midseason replacement - though that remains to be seen.
