Finally. Nexstar-owned, The CW recently made the announcement that they are renewing Superman & Lois for a highly anticipated (and most likely last) fourth season.
The show, which has captivated audiences with its thrilling superhero action and compelling family drama, will continue to showcase the iconic characters from DC Comics created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
Created by Greg Berlanti from Berlanti Productions and Todd Helbing in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Todd Helbing, Sarah Schechter, Brent Fletcher and Geoff Johns, Superman & Lois has been a standout success within the CW’s Arrowverse and has now become the last remaining DC series on the network for the upcoming season.
In Superman & Lois, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever — dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.
The show also stars Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent, Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang, Erik Valdez as Kyle Cushing, Inde Navarrette as Sarah Cortez, Wolé Parks as John Henry Irons, Tayler Buck as Natalie Irons, Sofia Hasmik as Chrissy Beppo, Chad L. Coleman as Bruno Mannheim and Dylan Walsh as Sam Lane.
After a successful run, negotiations for the renewal of Superman & Lois have finally concluded, ensuring that fans will be treated to 10 more episodes in the upcoming season. However, due to the show’s superhero nature and extensive use of special effects, there will be some necessary budget cuts.
These cuts will include reducing the number of series’ regular cast members, though the leads are expected to remain unaffected. Some changes may occur among the supporting cast, as the series aims to streamline its focus on its core premise as a captivating family drama while still embracing its superhero origins.

All American: Homecoming Renewed
“We are thrilled to bring All American: Homecoming and Superman & Lois back to The CW,” said Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network, in a statement. “These series are two of our strongest performers across our linear and digital platforms with some of the most passionate fanbases in all of television. We are grateful to our partners at Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions for their continued collaboration, and we cannot wait to get started on the new seasons.”
A spin-off of All American, All American: Homecoming is a young adult sports drama set against the backdrop of the HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) experience at Bringston University, where Black excellence is a way of life. The series is centered around tennis player Simone Hicks (Geffri Maya), baseball prodigy Damon Sims (Peyton Alex Smith) and the diverse group of friends they have cultivated at Bringston University.
In addition to the renewal of Superman & Lois and the spinoff series All American: Homecoming, the CW has also renewed other tentpole shows like All American and Walker. However, the network recently announced the cancellation of Gotham Knights after its first season ahead of its Season 1 finale that is slated to air on June 27.
With a reduced episode count of 10, this is most likely the last season of Superman & Lois, serving as a bridge between 2024 and 2025’s Superman: Legacy, which will kick off James Gunn’s DCU
