By: Joshua Martin

We are arguably in the diamond age of television!!

There are so many good shows premiering in the upcoming weeks that the sting of the NFL season concluding shouldn't hurt as much.

First off congratulations. Y’all deserve it .This is lame. You was on the way out the league before mahomes resurrected your career on your 1 year deal Tik-Tok boy . He admitted that he grabbed you but don’t act like your like that or ever was. But congratulations again! 🎊👏🏾🍻 https://t.co/Z3SpMXnP4K

Everything from superheroes fighting to protect the world from annihilation to a Drug Lord trying to salvage a crumbling empire. This spring lineup has it all!! 

Here are four highly anticipated television shows featuring Black leads set to air this spring.

Snowfall

Snowfall is back with leading man Damson Idris returning as Franklin Saint as he deals with the “War on Drugs” and inner family turmoil. The penultimate season is set to premiere February 15th on FX. Following Franklin’s actions at the end of season five, he is on the verge of losing it all. It will be hard to see one of the best crime dramas ever leave but Damson says he is proud of his work on the show and its impact. 

Snowfall was created by the late great John Singleton.

Power Book 2: Ghost

It's been a little while since we've seen Tariq St. Patrick and the Tajeda family, the popular spin-off from the Power franchise returns March 17th at midnight on the Starz app. Following the death of basketball star Zeke, Tariq and the Tejadas have to quickly adjust as a new set of problems arise. Michael Rainey Jr. stars as his character struggles with keeping his life as a college student and a drug dealer separate.  

Marvel’s Secret Invasion

Secret Invasion stars Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Nick Fury for the fourteenth time in the MCU franchise. The series will pick up after the events of Captain Marvel and Spiderman: Far From Home highlighting Fury’s work with the “skrulls”. The highly anticipated series will finally give the Marvel mainstay his time in the spotlight. Jackson will portray a darker version of the character as a rogue sect of “skrulls” try to infiltrate the Earth at its highest levels. Marvel’s Secret Invasion will kick off the MCU’s phase 5 and is set to be released in early 2023 on Disney Plus.

Luther: Fallen Son

Idris Elba is set to portray tortured London cop John Luther in the hit follow up to the popular yet ominous BBC crime series Luther. Luther: Fallen Sun will be a stand alone film that has Elba’s character breaking out of prison due to the consequences of his troubled past while trying to stop the plot of a twisted serial killer. The film is set to premiere on Netflix on February 24th.  In 2012, he won a Golden Globe for “Best Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Television Motion Picture” for his role.
