Another DC Comics series could be coming to The CW!
It was just revealed that a Black Lightning spinoff is in the works called Painkiller, following Jordan Calloway‘s character Khalil/Painkiller, THR reports.
The possible series will get a backdoor pilot in the seventh episode of the upcoming fourth season of the original show.
In the episode, “Khalil is riddled with the guilt of his troubled past from his former life in Freeland City, where as super-enhanced killing machine Painkiller he was a member of Tobias Whale’s gang and a weapon of Agent Odell and the shadowy ASA. After attempting to bury Painkiller, Khalil moves to Akashic valley to find peace as his history clashes with a new beginning and he is forced back into action to bring justice.”
This would be the latest DC spinoff coming to the network, following the recent news that Supergirl is ending after it’s upcoming sixth season. There is still no word yet on the Arrow spinoff, Green Arrow and the Canaries.
Painkiller is also the second spinoff to air a backdoor pilot in the upcoming season. Nancy Drew will also air a backdoor pilot for the possible new spinoff Tom Swift.

ABC Family just released the cast and more info about its upcoming supernatural show Beyond!
The show is set to star Callan McAuliffe, Jordan Calloway, and Dilan Gwyn.
Beyond is a one-hour drama about a young man who wakes up from a coma after 12 years and discovers new supernatural abilities that propel him into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy.
Callan plays Holden, who wakes up in a hospital not realizing he’s been in a coma for 12 years � emotionally still a teenager, physically an adult, and possibly in possession of supernatural powers.
Jordan portrays Holden’s childhood best friend, Kevin, now a therapist, who is haunted by guilt after the incident that put Holden in a coma. Dilan stars as Willa, a beautiful woman who appears to be interested in Holden and who warns him he is in great danger.
Romy Rosemont and Michael McGrady are set to play Holden’s parents. Meanwhile, Burkely Duffield rounds out the cast as Holden’s clever younger brother, Luke, who grew up in the shadow of his brother’s tragedy and is now faced with a brother who knows less about the world than he does.
Production will start next week in Vancouver, Canada.
