For all you Arrowverse fans out there, you might want to tune in to The CW on January 16, because that’s when the new DC Comics series Black Lightning hits the air. The series hasn’t yet confirmed if it will actually be tied into the Arrowverse along with Supergirl, The Flash, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and of course Arrow, but that’s likely only so it can stand on its own before it officially becomes part of the larger world. The CW likely wants to see how the series performs before they go linking it to their four other successful series, but if the ratings are good and fans respond well, then you can expect the superhero to join the line-up.
Personally, I’m intrigued by LA to Vegas on FOX, especially since it’s executive produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. Dylan McDermott stars in the comedy series about a flight crew that makes the trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas over and over again. Easily the most exciting prospect of this series is that it will see Mulroney facing off with Dermot Mulroney sometime in the first season. That show arrives early in 2018 on January 2.
There’s also AP Bio on NBC. Patton Oswalt and Glenn Howerton star in the comedy series about a philosophy scholar (Howerton) loses out on his dream job and goes to work as a high school Advanced Placement biology teacher, where he makes it clear he will not be teaching any biology. Realizing he has a room full of honor roll students at his disposal, he decides instead to use the kids to his own benefit. The series is written by Saturday Night Live’s Mike O’Brien, who also executive produces with Lorne Michaels, Seth Meyers, Andrew Singer and Mike Showmaker. The show premieres on February 1.
