Fans of “Superman & Lois” will have to wait a little bit longer for the fourth and final season of the TV series to air on The CW.
Brad Schwartz, The CW President of Entertainment, revealed at today’s Television Critics Association panel that “Superman & Lois” will not return until Fall 2024 (i.e. September-October).
According to Deadline.com, Schwartz intimated that the final season would be “wasted” in the summer, as he believes it will rival the rest of the fall broadcast slate across competing networks.
“I watched the first episode last night,” Schwartz teased. “It will make you cry.”
In November 2023 Schwartz said, “Over the last three seasons, Superman & Lois redefined both the superhero genre and family drama as Tyler, Elizabeth and the entire cast effortlessly portrayed these classic characters with new layers of depth and complexity that had never before been explored in the Superman universe.”
“We are grateful for the years of hard work and graceful storytelling from the show’s writers, producers, actors and crew, as well as our terrific partners at Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions. As Superman embarks on his final flight, the team is leaving us with an absolutely epic 10-episode must-watch-every-minute farewell to one of the most legendary CW families ever.”
“While we’re sad to say goodbye to Superman & Lois at the end of Season 4, we’re grateful for the time we’ve had with our amazing cast, crew, vfx teams, editors, musical geniuses, and writers. Since the day this show was first discussed, it was about family. And that’s what was created—on and off screen,” co-showrunners Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher said in a separate statement. “We’d like to thank our partners at Berlanti Productions, DC, WB and The CW for their endless support and enthusiasm during this journey… and give a very special thank you to all the fans for tuning in. We’re thrilled about what we have in store in our final season, and can’t wait for everyone to watch as Superman, Lois and all our heroes face off against the biggest threat in the show’s history—Lex Luthor.”
The show’s conclusion marks the end of an era, concluding DC’s run on The CW, which started with the launch of “Arrow” in 2012.
I can’t wait for season 4 of “Superman & Lois”! I’m really looking forward to it! We’ll also be getting season 2 of “My Adventures With Superman.” Furthermore, I’m glad that I’ll be getting both Superman and Godzilla content this year of 2024. It’s such a great time to a fan of these classic characters.
It’s such an important family show to Warner Bros. that they cancelled it. Bums me out.
