Christine Adams Joins The CW’s Black Lightning Pilot

Christine Adams (Terra Nova, Doctor Who, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) has joined the cast of The CW’s Black Lightning pilot.

The pilot, which will be shooting in Atlanta, Georgia, hails from producers Salim Akil, Mara Brock Akil, and Greg Berlanti, and is based on the DC Comics character created by Tony Isabella with Trevor von Eeden.

Adams will be playing Lynn, Jefferson Pierce’s ex-wife who exudes confidence and intelligence. Although she’s got a mischievous side, she’s not one to be trifled with when it comes to family. As their daughters (China Anne McClain and Nafessa Williams) are a part of the show’s ongoing story, family will play a big role in this project if it should go to series.

Jefferson Pierce will be played by Hart of Dixie veteran Cress Williams.
