The Black Lightning news continues, right on the heels of the show's cancellation. China Anne McClain, who has been playing Jennifer Pierce, the youngest member of the superhero family, released an Instagram video on Saturday detailing her decision to leave the show earlier. She goes on to say that her decision was made before the announcement that the show would be ending after the upcoming 4th season, and that in no way was this decision based on any issues or problems with the show, the cast its crew, nor the network, and that she loves everyone involved in the show, and wishes her co-star Jordan Calloway the best in his spin-off.

While she doesn't list a concrete reason for the decision to leave, saying that there were multiple things that led to this, she does provide general information regarding her changing goals in life, and that this was a personal choice based on everything that had been happening in the past year. McClain also added that she would only be participating in a limited number of episodes in the upcoming season, so we'll be seeing less of her once the season premieres next year.
