Superman & Lois is an American superhero drama television series developed for The CW by Todd Helbing and Greg Berlanti, based on the DC Comics characters Superman and Lois Lane, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch star as the title characters Clark Kent / Superman and Lois Lane, respectively. Jordan Elsass and Alex Garfin portray the couple's twin sons Jonathan and Jordan Kent, with Michael Bishop replacing the former in the third season. The series also stars Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Wolé Parks, Adam Rayner, Dylan Walsh, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Tayler Buck, Sofia Hasmik, Chad L. Coleman, and Michael Cudlitz.

The series was intended to be part of the Arrowverse's Earth-Prime in its first season, developed as a spin-off of Supergirl, with Hoechlin and Tulloch respectively reprising their roles from Supergirl and The Flash (and the conclusion of the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover event serving as a backdoor pilot), but as the series went on, following the cancellation of planned crossovers with Supergirl and Batwoman due to the COVID-19 pandemic, showrunner Todd Helbing and Warner Bros. decided to keep the show separate, with the series instead set in its own separate continuity taking place on a different Earth to the Arrowverse's Earth-Prime, which was confirmed in the second season finale.

Superman & Lois was announced as a pilot in October 2019 and was ordered to series in January 2020. The series premiered on The CW on February 23, 2021. In 2023, the series was renewed for a fourth and final season which premiered on October 7, 2024.

Premise

[edit]

In the first season, Clark Kent / Superman and Lois Lane return to Smallville with their sons Jonathan and Jordan, where they are reacquainted with Lana Lang, her husband Kyle Cushing, and their daughter Sarah. Their idyllic lives are upended when The Stranger enters as well as by the secret experiments of Morgan Edge.[1]

During the second season, Superman's painful visions lead him to an encounter with Bizarro while also butting heads with Lt. General Mitch Anderson. In addition, Lois deals with the Inverse Method cult led by Ally Allston who swayed Lucy Lane to her side and has made an enemy of Bizarro for her supposed conquering of his world.

The third season has Superman contending with the plots of Intergang as Lois Lane suffers from Stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer. Following the death of Peia Mannheim and the surrender of Bruno Mannheim, Lex Luthor is released from prison when the Mannheim's frame-up of him killing Boss Moxie was exposed. He then proceeds to plan his revenge on Superman and Lois Lane that involves a resurrected Bizarro.

The fourth and final season has Superman continuing his fight with the mutated Bizarro, known as Doomsday, as Lex Luthor begins his next plot that involves setting up a new base where the Manning Farm is. Things go worse for the Kent family when Doomsday gives Superman's heart to Lex Luthor as he ordered.

  • Adam Rayner as Tal-Rho / Morgan Edge / Eradicator (season 1; special guest season 2): "an intelligent, eloquent, and impassioned self-made mogul whose innate ability to motivate is the means to his success and others' demise."[11] He is later revealed to be Kal-El's half-brother known as Tal-Rho through Kal's mother Lara Lor-Van and Zeta-Rho with plans to restore the Kryptonian race.[12] Jack Rehbein and Ben Cockell portray a 10-year-old Tal-Rho and a 19-year-old Tal-Rho, respectively.

Production

Development

[edit]

The series was announced in October 2019 with Todd Helbing, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns executive producing, and Helbing penning the script.[2] On January 14, 2020, The CW officially ordered Superman & Lois to series.[78] The first season consisted of 15 episodes.[79] The series Everwood and Friday Night Lights served as inspirations for the show, given they were also family dramas. Helbing explained many aspects of Superman & Lois were approached as if it were a feature film, such as the aspect ratio, cinematography, and production design, saying "We are competing with shows on cable and streamers...we wanted to be able to do that and offer audiences something of equal quality".[1] In March 2021, The CW renewed the series for a second season which premiered on January 11, 2022.[80] In March 2022, it renewed the series for a third season.[81]

In January 2023, DC Studios CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran said they expected the show to continue for "one to two more seasons".[82] Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment at The CW, stated in May 2023 that the business model of the show was no longer feasible for the network due to the show being expensive to produce, adding that it did not directly generate any profits and The CW did not have the rights to previous seasons.[83] In June 2023, The CW renewed the series for a fourth season consisting of ten episodes. Under the renewal agreement, the series will reduce the number of its regular cast members and writers, in addition to reducing action scenes and gearing more towards a family-focused drama, in an effort to reduce production costs.[84] Production was however delayed due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes.[85] On November 2, 2023, it was announced that the fourth season would be the series' last.[84] Schwartz stated in an interview that the decision to end the show was made by Warner Bros. Discovery to avoid competition with the upcoming DC Universe (DCU) film Superman (2025).[86]

Casting

[edit]

Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch were signed on to reprise their roles as Clark Kent and Lois Lane from Supergirl.[2] In February 2020, Jordan Elsass and Alexander Garfin were cast as Clark and Lois' sons Jonathan Kent and Jordan Kent, respectively.[3] In April, Dylan Walsh was cast as Samuel Lane. Walsh replaces Glenn Morshower, who previously recurred in the role on Supergirl.[13] Emmanuelle Chriqui was also cast as Lana Lang,[15] along with Erik Valdez as Kyle Cushing.[6] The next month, Wolé Parks was cast as "The Stranger" while Inde Navarrette was cast as Sarah Cushing.[10][8] Additionally, Adam Rayner portrays Morgan Edge, who was previously portrayed by Adrian Pasdar in Supergirl.[11]

In October 2020, Sofia Hasmik and Stacey Farber were cast in the recurring roles of Chrissy Beppo and Leslie Larr, respectively.[18][87] In December 2020, David Ramsey was revealed to be reprising his Arrow role of John Diggle in addition to directing at least one episode in the series.[88] In June 2021, Hasmik was promoted to a series regular for the second season.[17] In August 2021, Tayler Buck, who guest starred in the first season, was promoted to a series regular for the second season.[16] In October 2021, Ian Bohen was cast in a recurring role as Lt. Mitch Anderson for the second season.[89] Jenna Dewan, who previously played Lucy Lane on Supergirl reprised her role in the second season.[90]

In August 2022, Elsass departed the series ahead of the third season for personal reasons.[4] The following month, his role was recast to Michael Bishop[5] and Chad L. Coleman was cast as Bruno Mannheim.[19] Lex Luthor appears in the show where he is now portrayed by Michael Cudlitz instead of a reprisal from Jon Cryer, who played his doppelgänger on Earth-Prime.[91]

Seven of the twelve cast members were cut as series regulars following the renewal of the show for the fourth and final season. These included Dylan Walsh, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Wolé Parks, Tayler Buck and Sofia Hasmik. Michael Cudlitz joins as a main cast member following his guest appearances in the previous season,[20] receiving "special appearance by" credit.[citation needed] Navarrette confirmed in July 2023 that she would return as a guest star for at least three episodes.[7] Ultimately, each member of the supporting cast reprised their role for the final season and retained main cast billing for the episodes that they appeared in.

Filming

[edit]

Production on the pilot was expected to begin on March 23, 2020, in Vancouver, British Columbia, and conclude on May 14.[92] However, on March 13, 2020, plans to shoot a pilot were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to either June or July of that year.[93][94] In late July 2020, Warner Bros. Television planned for the Vancouver-based production to restart in late August.[95] Filming of season 1 began on October 21, 2020, and concluded on July 2, 2021.[96][97][98] The series is filmed on location in Surrey, British Columbia.[99][100] The second season began filming on September 15, 2021, and concluded on May 5, 2022.[101][102] Filming of the third season began on September 6, 2022[103] in Vancouver, and concluded on March 14, 2023.[104] Filming for the fourth season began on January 11, 2024, and concluded on April 24, 2024.[105][106][107][108] The cast and crew held a wrap party on April 25, 2024 to celebrate the conclusion of four seasons of filming.[109]

Writing

[edit]

In November 2020, series writer Nadria Tucker announced she was fired from the show, claiming it was for "pushing back on racist and sexist storylines." She also claimed she worked on all 15 episodes of the first season, but was only paid for 13 of them.[110][111][112] In a statement, WBTV claimed that "Warner Bros. Television did not exercise its option to extend her [contract] for additional episodes" and that "WBTV was transparent and told her why it was not picking up her option."[113]

Connection to the Arrowverse

[edit]

Speaking of the lack of greater Arrowverse connections in the first season, showrunner Todd Helbing felt that there was "this weird set of circumstances where, because of production or timing or COVID, everything in the show that was related to the Arrowverse has gotten pulled out". He added that, as development progressed further away from the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover, "it felt like we were opening a can of worms every time we had to explain the connection", though he was hopeful more connections or proper crossovers could occur in the second season.[114]

Though the multiverse, Oliver Queen and the Arrowverse's version of the League[b] were mentioned in the first season, the second season finale establishes that the series takes place adjacent to Earth-Prime, with different iterations of the characters compared to their Earth-Prime counterparts and a different continuity. Helbing later revealed that the show's setting was separate from Earth-Prime, a decision he and DC Entertainment made. He further added that the Superman, Lois Lane, Lucy Lane and John Diggle in the series are doppelgangers of the ones on Earth-Prime.[115]
