The CW has today announced that the upcoming fourth season of the TV series “Superman & Lois” will be the show’s last.
With a total of 10 episodes, the fourth and final season starring Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch will air sometime in 2024.
“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,” said Brad Schwartz, president of entertainment at The CW. “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.
While this is sad news that Superman and Lois’s Fourth season will be its final season, we should be thankful that the writers have enough time to make the fourth season a complete and final season. That Superman and Lois and their family will be given a happy and complete ending unlike other CW shows that were canceled without a proper conclusion. And even though this news is bitter sweet, I look forward with gratitude to what Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, the cast, writers, directors, producers, and to everyone who are involved in this series to what they have planned… Read more »
The writing was on the wall sadly. Is what it is. I’d rather a hopefully excellent final season than a decline in quality.
The CW channel has gone through a new ownership. CBS used to own it but sold it off. At this time ALL of the shows that were on there have either been put on hold or are canceled. Lucky that this show is even coming back. It’s all about money,….. as usual.
I have to agree with you redcape. Considering the cut in budget, letting go of half of the cast, reduced episodes, and the reduced number of writers, I’m just grateful that the show will be getting a 4th season to wrap up the story. And while I am saddened to hear this news, I am more relieved than saddened. And the reason for that is because unlike last year, I don’t have to wonder and worry if my favorite show will get another season after the upcoming season or not. I already have my answer. And while I would love… Read more »
Although this is sad news, overall, “Superman and Lois” has been great. I will look back and remember enjoying each episode and each season during its airtime. I own seasons 1-3, and I’ll definitely pick-up season 4 when it is released. Thus, someday I’ll be able to go back and have a nice “Superman and Lois” marathon and re-watch this great show. All good things eventually come to an end. And I’m glad that “Superman and Lois” exists because now we have another great Superman-TV show have in each of our collections.
