Jon Kent Will Be Replaced In Superman And Lois Season 3

[Peter Paltridge]

When Superman And Lois returns in 2023 to what’s left of The CW, you might notice one character looks and sounds a bit different. Jordan Elsass, who played Jonathan Kent in the first two seasons of the series, is departing voluntarily. The series has picked a replacement: Australian actor Michael Bishop.
As for why Elsass is leaving the show, the official statement is the usual vague “personal reasons” boilerplate….but the actor opened up to his real motivation on, of all things, a Cameo to a fan. “It’s sad, it’s a real shame,” he’s quoted as saying. “I know that I was pumped for Season 3, for sure, but what are you going to do?

I remember Jordan Elsass panicking after finding out that his character Jon is now in a gay relationship the comics because Jon came out as Bi. So if that will be adapted to the show, he will have to kiss boys. I think he left the show for that reason.

He is leaving not because his character will kiss boys. He quits because he have mental health issues he needs to deal with and he wants to prioritize his well being.

I will undoubtedly miss Jordan Elsass. One of the factors that contributed to the family dynamic, which is one of the critical themes of the show, was his chemistry with his on-screen brother Alexander Garfin.
But one's mental health matters, and admitting that one needs treatment is a significant step everyone should encourage. Best of luck to Jordan and the show, too.

It was almost written off, but I'd rather they recast since all they need is someone who gets along with the rest of the ensemble and can make the position his own. I pray that the next Jonathan is better.

Lets wish Jordan the best of luck, He sacrifice a high profile role on TV for his well being. I hope he gets the healing he needed.

Remember in Season 1 of Arrow a different actress plays Sarah lance.

The new actor have some resemblance with Jordan so I am sure some fans wont notice.
