Nexstar is now running The CW, and moving forward, the company plans to fill the schedule primarily with low-cost and acquired programming. Most of the network’s current shows aren’t expected to survive to see the 2023-24 season. Will Superman & Lois be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A DC superhero series, the Superman & Lois TV show stars Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Alex Garfin, Michael Bishop, Alexander Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Wolé Parks, Tayler Buck, Sofia Hasmik, Chad L. Coleman, Dylan Walsh, and Emmanuelle Chriqui. In the story, Superman, aka Clark Kent (Hoechlin), and his award-winning journalist wife, Lois Lane (Tulloch), have gotten married and are now working parents, raising two teen boys. In addition to the usual trials and tribulations of being parents, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with their sons, Jonathan (Bishop) and Jordan (Garfin), who could inherit their father’s Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older. Returning to Clark’s hometown of Smallville to handle some Kent family business, the family is reacquainted with Lana Lang (Chriqui), Clark’s first love, her Fire Chief husband, Kyle Cushing (Valdez), and their rebellious daughter, Sarah (Navarrette). There’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Walsh), looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment’s notice. Season three picks up weeks after the conclusion of the second season. Clark and Lois are working at the Smallville Gazette together and enjoying small-town life, but we all know their bliss can’t last long. Meanwhile, the Kent boys are pulled in opposite directions.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel.

What do you think? Do you like the Superman & Lois TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
*6/13/23 update: Superman & Lois has been renewed for a fourth and final season by The CW.
This show has Clark wearing glasses as he lays in bed with Lois late at night. Since Clark and Lois are both journalists you would think they both had contacts !
People don’t ❝ LAY ❞ in bed, people lie in bed because they are not hens! And he uses his glasses because it is the oldest convention in the DC Universe to supposedly help fool people along with his manner and posture – Contacts don’t serve the storylines at ALL
However this series never should have been renewed after season 2 because it became mundane and the screenwriters lost all perspective after Ally Allston was defeated.
Hi Gary. People Lay, Lie, Cook, Bake And Shake In Bed And If They Want Hens There Among Them Then Let Them Have Hens There Too ! It Would Be Convincing For Tyler To Wear Glasses At A Convention. Yes I Agree With You. I’m Not Sure If Lois Will Have Any More Contacts Since They Are Downsizing The Cast. You’ll Be Happy To Hear That Superman Has Been Renewed For A Season 4. Live Long And Prosper.
