According to The Hollywood Reporter:

Williams will headline the series, which recently made a leap over from Fox to the CW for a pilot order. THR describes the show’s version of Pierce (first created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden in the ‘70s) as a man who chose to cast aside his superhero identity years ago, only to be pulled back into action as Black Lightning once more when a student of his is embroiled in gang warfare..
