Superman & Lois Renewed for Season 4 on The CW, but with Fewer Episodes

Superman & Lois fans can rejoice as the show has been officially renewed for a fourth season on The CW. However, there’s a catch. According to TVLine, the upcoming season will consist of only 10 episodes, making it a shortened season. In addition to Superman & Lois, The CW has also announced the renewal of All American: Homecoming for a third season.

CW President Brad Schwartz expressed his excitement about bringing back Superman & Lois and All American: Homecoming, acknowledging their strong performance on both linear and digital platforms. Schwartz thanked Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions for their continued collaboration and eagerly anticipated starting work on the new seasons.

While the renewal news for Superman & Lois is undoubtedly exciting, it comes with a mixed bag of emotions for fans of The CW’s DC series. On the same day, it was announced that the freshman series Gotham Knights has been canceled, bringing its first season to an end.

During a press conference last month, Brad Schwartz previously addressed the situation regarding Superman & Lois and other shows awaiting renewal. He mentioned that although Superman & Lois is one of the network’s strongest performers, its production costs were being carefully analyzed. Schwartz expressed frustration over the lack of control regarding streaming rights, hinting that Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max streaming platform might save the series if The CW decides not to renew it.

As for the current season, Schwartz teased that the third season of Superman & Lois would end with a cliffhanger, promising an exciting conclusion. While he didn’t provide any spoilers, a synopsis for the season finale suggests that Lex Luthor will play a significant role in the episode.

Superman & Lois airs on Tuesdays at 7/8 p.m. ET on The CW, and fans can expect the season finale to leave them on the edge of their seats.
