The CW has a deal with Netflix whereby all of its shows that began before the 2019-2020 TV season come to the streaming service eight days after their season finale airs.
The reason why The CW is winding up its current DC shows may also be due to the so-called streaming wars. 'Black Lightning' is ending after Season 4 on The CW. The superhero-shaped hole in the network's schedule left by these shows ending will be filled by a new show titled Wonder Girl. 2021 will also see Supergirl end, and see new show Superman & Lois air. Though these are still fairly respectable ratings for a CW show, the network may have decided to end it now to make room for new DC Comics shows. In the 2019-2020 TV season, the show was beaten in the ratings by Stargirl, The Flash, Batwoman, the canceled Arrow, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow, with its average viewership of 655,000 viewers per episode nearly half that of what The Flash gets every week. Per TVSeriesFinale, the last season of Black Lightning got the lowest ratings of any of The CW superhero shows from its vast multiverse of DC Comics characters. While there are numerous reasons why now is a good time for the show to end, the main one among them seems to be low ratings.
However, this is not the end of the story, as the show may be getting a spin-off in the coming months. In November 2020, it was announced that the show was canceled. Black Lightning Season 4 set to air on The CW from February 2021, but there is some bad news for fans the show will be ending after its current run of episodes.
