MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Animated Series Announced with Jack Quaid
HBO Max and Cartoon Network have announced a two-season series order for a new Superman animated series titled My Adventures with Superman. This is a family-friendly series focusing on Clark Kent and Lois Lane. It “follows the Man of Steel and the dogged Daily Planet reporter in their twenties, as well as their best friend Jimmy Olsen, as they begin to discover who they are and everything they can accomplish together as an investigative news team.”
It’s also explained that “the serialized, coming-of-age story sees Superman build up his secret identity and embrace his role as the hero of Metropolis (and, perhaps the world), while Lois, now a star journalist, takes aspiring photographer Jimmy under her wing. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love, sharing adventures and taking down bad guys.”
The series stars Jack Quaid (The Boys) as Clark and Alice Lee (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) as Lois. This is definitely going to have a much different tone than the recently announced Batman: Caped Crusader. This Superman series is going to be more lighthearted and playful.
Amy Friedman, head of kids & family programming at Warner Bros, said in a statement:
“Superman has remained one of the most iconic and beloved superheroes in the world. This fresh take from the Warner Bros. Animation team delivers a modern, relatable Clark Kent alongside a fearless, whip-smart Lois Lane who are navigating the small tasks of both becoming adults and trying to save the world.”
Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, added:
“It’s been a great partnership working with Cartoon Network and HBO Max to bring more DC superheroes to the platform in new and creatively interesting ways. This is the first animated Superman series in many years and we want to tell our Superman story through the trio of Clark, Lois and Jimmy — whose relationship dynamic will allow for rich, serialized and engaging stories as we explore their lives as individuals and their journey together as friends.”
My Adventures With Superman is being produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Jake Wyatt (Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus) and Brendan Clogher (Voltron: Legendary Defender) co-executive producing; Josie Campbell (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) will co-produce.
