CW Series SUPERMAN & LOIS to End With Upcoming Fourth Season
The CW series Superman & Lois is set to come to an end after its upcoming 10-episode fourth season. The series stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch as the title characters, as well as Michael Bishop and Alex Garfin. The series was seriously affected by strikes and budget cuts that resulted in a downsizing of the show’s writers from eight to six for the final season. The show is one of the most expensive for the network, due to its special effects budget, and this final season felt the pull of the pursestrings in a major way.
Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network, released a statement about the series, saying:
“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.”
Executive producers and co-showrunners Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher added:
“While we’re sad to say goodbye to Superman & Lois at the end of Season Four, 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. 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 final season of Superman & Lois is slated to air on The CW in 2024.
