Superman And Lois To End With Season Four

Superman And Lois To End With Season Four

, , , , , , 5

Who guessed that the miracle fourth season of Superman And Lois on The CW would also be its last? If you did, congratulations, you win a leftover candy apple from three days ago. Everyone expected The CW’s new owners Nexstar to dump any and all traces of mildly budgeted superhero-based content the network was formerly known for, but they threw us a curveball by renewing this one. We weren’t sure how, then we found out: the budget was slashed to the point where the only regular characters are Superman, Lois and the boys. Lex Luthor made his first appearance toward the end of Season 3, and they’re keeping him along with Doomsday…but that’s it for the regular payroll. We’re not sure who our heroes are going to talk to besides each other, or how they’re going to explain how empty Smallville is now. Anyway, Season 4 was such a longshot that Season 5 was even more unlikely, so they’re wisely bowing out now. “Over the last three seasons, Superman &

Yesterday The CW made the surprise announcement that it was renewing Warner Bros’ Superman And Lois for a fourth season, despite having no money. It was speculated that the show would undergo a budget reduction to make this possible, which would include a culling of the regular cast members. And wow, they sure did. 24 hours later, every actor except five has been given pink slips. Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent/Superman), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane), Alex Garfin (Jordan Kent) and Michael Bishop (Jonathan Kent) are remaining, and Michael Cudlitz (Lex Luthor) is being promoted to regular after guest-starring in the last few episodes of the current season. Anyone who isn’t those five no longer has a steady job: Dylan Walsh (General Sam Lane), Emmanuelle Chriqui (Mayor Lana Lang), Erik Valdez (Kyle Cushing), Inde Navarrette (Sarah Lang), Wolé Parks (John Henry Irons), Tayler Buck (Natalie Irons) and Sofia Hasmik (Chrissy Beppo). We have no idea how this is supposed to work either. We presume they can’t build new sets, so will the

Superman And Lois Somehow Renewed For Fourth Season

Superman And Lois Somehow Renewed For Fourth Season

All signs pointed to doom for Superman And Lois, as their network heads abandoned them and neighboring worlds disintegrated around them. But what’s that in the sky? A bird? A Plane? No, it’s…a renewal! The show has been given a fourth season. Higher-ups at WB have spoken about a desire to keep Superman And Lois alive as long as they can. James Gunn in particular said something to the effect of “I think we’ll keep that around for a couple more years.” So in that light, perhaps its renewal doesn’t come as THAT much of a shock, but what DOES is the fact that it’s not moving over to Max like we figured. Instead it’s remaining on The CW, a network that no longer has a budget for anything. How are they going to do this? Deadline reports that the fourth season will face “major budget cuts” to reduce its cost and license fee to a level Nexstar can afford. Accomplishing this will involve “reducing the number of series-regular cast

We were bracing for the third season of Superman And Lois to be the last one. All circumstances seemed to point to it: the network it was on collapsing, the studio that was producing it rebooting, there was a WHOLE lot working against it. Why would it live? But this morning, two things happened: one, James Gunn outlined his future vision for the DCU and carved out a specific space for shows and movies that would now be out of “canon” — calling them Elseworlds after DC’s long-time brand for imaginary stories. Second, Gunn and fellow studio head Peter Safran specifically said Superman And Lois would most likely be one of the shows to survive under such an umbrella. You can’t get more direct than that. “It’s a show everybody likes, so it’s going to keep going for a little bit,” said Gunn. Safran added that “one or two more seasons” could be a good enough run. The question is where those seasons will show up. Nexstar, the new owners

Superman And Lois is coming back for its third season soon, but the odds of it going beyond that point are painfully low. Those of you who figured we would never get Lex Luthor at this rate will be happy to be proven wrong: they just confirmed it today. Unfortunately…it isn’t Jon Cryer. Cryer made an amazing impression as Lex on Supergirl and the crossover specials. He gave off the vibe of a true scoundrel yet in a charming way. This reporter thought he was one of the best Lexes ever, and doesn’t understand why anybody would want to replace him. But they’re doing it anyway. It’s already been established that Superman And Lois does not take place in the Arrowverse (sadly), but that doesn’t mean we have to use all-new actors for everyone. Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch played Clark and Lois on Arrowverse shows AND here; there’s no reason why we can’t have the same actor for Lex too. But I can pound on my keyboard all I

Apparently on the same night that Gotham Knights makes its “sure to be a hit” debut, Superman And Lois will return for its (final?) new season. It makes sense to pair them together, synergy-wise, but we hope Gotham Knights doesn’t get the 8PM slot. The CW’s official description says: “Season 3 opens weeks after Superman’s blowout defeat of Ally Allston. Clark and Lois are now working at the Smallville Gazette together and enjoying small town life. But the Kents’ romantic bliss only shines a light on how isolating ‘the secret’ can be, as Chrissy struggles to balance a new love interest and her friendship with Lois. However, Lois’ own work-life balance is put to the test when an undercover assignment reveals a deadly foe that promises to change the Kent family forever. Superman would move heaven and earth for his family, but with a villain this merciless, even that might not be enough.” It goes on to describe Jon and Jordan’s current relationship woes, but no one cares about that.

The CW has finally set a return date for what will very probably be the last season of Superman And Lois. It’s a pity, really. It’s a classy show and Bitsie Tulloch has become one of our favorite Lois Lanes ever filmed. But the circumstances can’t be helped — the network is dying. When we last left our red-undergarment-wearing hero, he had just defeated Ally Allston and was looking forward to some down time on the farm….as if that’s gonna happen. Naturally a new threat surfaces and this official description of the season tells more: Clark and Lois are now working at the Smallville Gazette together and enjoying small town life. But the Kents’ romantic bliss only shines a light on how isolating “the secret” can be, as Chrissy struggles to balance a new love interest and her friendship with Lois. However, Lois’ own work-life balance is put to the test when an undercover assignment reveals a deadly foe that promises to change the Kent family forever. Superman would move

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? Anyway, mental health is definitely 100% priority. It’s pinnacle. It’s got to take precedence. And mine has been…the last couple of years…it’s been rough.” Elsass went on to say in the video he may be considering abandoning acting altogether. Replacing actors is something CW shows have fumbled with. Simply recasting the role is…..a relatively new phenomenon

Superman And Lois Severs All Ties To The Arrowverse

John Diggle made a guest appearance on Superman And Lois last night. He was first introduced on the TV series Arrow, a show that spawned a whole low-budget TV universe of superheroes. That universe seems to be dying now, but when it was in its prime, it was glorious. At least bits and pieces of it are still alive, for now…The Flash is hanging in there (barely), and Superman And Lois is going strong….oh, wait. There’s something Diggle said last night that makes no sense. It went like this: “I’ve been working for the DOD for a long time. I’ve seen things you would not believe—glimpses of other worlds, and the leagues of superheroes they have on them. And even though we only have your father on this planet, thank God that we do, because he’s the finest of any Earth.” But…but…what about Supergirl? What about Barry? WHAT ABOUT BEEBO?? TV Line got the showrunner of S&L, Todd Helbing, on the phone to explain this statement. He said “From Day

For the last few years, The CW has given blanket renewals to everything the moment the new year turns over. This time, however, circumstances are a bit different. With the fate of the entire network in question, it was unknown if ANY of its programs would see another season — until today, when seven renewals were announced. Here is the list you can nervously scroll down to reveal the fate of your favorites… THE FLASH: RENEWED This one is the least surprising as Grant Gustin’s contract was renewed not too long ago. It’s also still the most consistently performing DC CW series, even if ol’ Flashy ran out of gas seasons ago. BATWOMAN: NOT RENEWED None of the “unrenewed” shows are outright cancelled, but you should take their lack of news as a bad sign. As it’s gone on, Batwoman has become more of an embarrassing mess with each episode. If this is really the end, well…bye Ryan, and don’t let the door hit you on the Bat-Butt. Hopefully Gotham

Superman & Lois returns to The CW for its second season in about a month, and the network has released a one-minute trailer for the season. It’s our first real look at what’s up ahead. It’s also unfortunately squashed since CW chose to release the trailer exclusively on Twitter and in the “portrait” aspect ratio. Maybe a better version will come along later. For now, this is what we get: The world and his family both need Clark. Which will he choose? #SupermanAndLois Season 2 premieres Tuesday, January 11 on The CW! pic.twitter.com/PKilE7uKb3 — Superman & Lois (@cwsupermanlois) December 8, 2021 “Always something to worry about, isn’t there?” utters General Lane. This is always true for Superman. We’re sure a new supervillain is waiting in the wings, but the main conflict shown in the trailer is between Superman and a new lieutenant at the Department of Defense who thinks the hero’s time would be best spent as a weapon specifically serving American interests. Superman tries to explain he’s here to

Superman And Lois Already Renewed For Second Season

Superman And Lois Already Renewed For Second Season

, , , , , 0

In a sudden, but very on-brand move for The CW, its newest super-series Superman And Lois has been given a second season and a place on the 2021-22 schedule. Given the network’s track record, the renewal was never really in question, but the show’s performance in ratings likely motivated the early decision. Last Tuesday, with the 90-minute premiere and the behind-the-scenes doc that followed it, The CW achieved its highest ratings it had seen in two years. (We figure without those numbers, it might have taken another full week for the show to be renewed.) Mark Pedowitz, the man who has the worn-out “RENEW” button on his desk, says “The phenomenal multiplatform debut of Superman & Lois, which delivered for us in a big way on both a linear and streaming basis, is a testament to the creativity, hard work and dedication of the talented people who worked tirelessly in front of and behind the camera, especially in this challenging environment.” Contrary to a belief held by some, The CW’s
