News of the superhero drama’s cancelation was confirmed Friday just a week after the network ordered a pilot for a potential Black Lightning spinoff. 

The series, based on the DC character of the same name, follows Jefferson Pierce, played by Cress Williams, a high school principal who dons his superhero suit after years of retirement when a local gang recruits one of his star students. Black Lightning also stars Christine Adams, China Anne McClain, Nafessa Williams, James Remar, Marvin Jones III, Jordan Calloway, and Damon Gupton.

“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 superhero genre,” executive producer Salim Akil said in a statement. “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.”

Season 4 of Black Lightning is slated to air early next year.

Multiple outlets confirm that radio personality Rachel Maddow has been tapped to star in the role Vesper Fairchild, who according to Variety is a TV and radio figure who once had a romantic relationship with Bruce Wayne.

“We consider Vesper Fairchild to be the sardonic Voice of Gotham. In addition to Rachel’s interest in Batwoman, we thought she’d be the perfect casting choice because her own hard-hitting journalism wildly contrasts Vesper’s penchant for snark, gossip, and criticism of female superheroes,” said Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries.

Maddow took to social media, sharing the news with her followers. 

“I know no one’s going to believe this is true, but it’s true,” she wrote. “I’m ‘Vesper Fairchild’ in the new Batwoman TV show that starts this Sunday night on The CW. (My character is soooo not me; turns out playing her is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done).”

Check out the first exclusive look for Batwoman below.

The one-hour drama will be based on the original series created by Dan Curtis. 

Dark Shadows: Reincarnation will be a modern-day continuation of the strange, terrifying saga of the Collins family of Collinsport, Maine — a mysterious, influential, publicity-shy group hiding a ghastly secret: For the past 400 years, they’ve lived under a curse that bedevils their blueblood with every imaginable supernatural creature and horror.

Re-imagining Dark Shadows has been a life-long dream for Perry who said in a statement, “As a first-generation fan, it’s been a dream of mine to give Dark Shadows the Star Trek treatment since way back in the ’80s when Next Generation was announced, so I’m beyond thrilled and humbled to be entrusted with this resurrection.”

Curtis’ daughters Tracy and Cathy Curtis added that hearing Perry’s plans for the remake exceeded all expectations.

“My expectations were surpassed when she introduced us to Mark and I heard his incredible take. I felt my father was watching from above and smiling down on us. Tracy and I couldn’t be happier to have Mark take viewers back to Collinwood. Mark has opened up our father’s universe with fresh storylines and new characters that will delight original fans even as they thrill younger viewers.”

Perry will write the pilot and serve as executive producer with Michael Helfant, Bradley Gallo and Tracy Mercer, alongside Tracy Curtis and Cathy.
