'Black Lightning'
Cress Williams stars as Jefferson Pierce, the hero who hung up his suit and his secret identity years ago, but with a daughter hell-bent on justice and a star student being recruited by a local gang, is about to be pulled back into the fight as the wanted vigilante and DC legend - Black Lightning. 'Black Lightning' comes from a pilot script written by Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil, who will serve as executive producers along with Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. The series also stars Nafessa Williams, China Anne McClain and Christine Adams.
'Valor'
Starring Matt Barr and Christina Ochoa in its lead roles, the series is about how the boundaries between military discipline and human desires are tested on a US air base housing an elite unit of helicopter pilots trained to perform clandestine missions, in both domestic and international territories. The drama unfolds in the present as well as in flashbacks to a failed mission involving one of the first female pilots in the unit, ultimately uncovering layers of personal and government/military secrets, and leading to a season-long plan to rescue a group of MIA soldiers.
'Dynasty'
The reboot of the 1980s ABC soap will be told primarily through the perspectives of two very powerful women at odds: Fallon Carrington - daughter of billionaire Blake Carrington - and her soon-to-be stepmother, Cristal - a Hispanic woman marrying into the family and America's most powerful class. In an age where dynasties appear everywhere - from reality TV to the polling booths - this epic drama features the one percent in all its glitz and gloss, while exposing the dark underbelly: a corrupt world built on backroom deals, betrayal, and, in some cases, murder. The cast includes Elizabeth Gillies, Alan Dale, Sam Adegoke, Robert Christopher Riley and Rafael de la Feuente.
