Summary
Superman & Lois season 4 is confirmed and may not be the show's last, as the entertainment president of The CW keeps the door open for its renewal if it remains profitable.
Renewing Superman & Lois for its fourth season introduces a more formidable villain and grants the opportunity to delve deeper into the Doomsday storyline. In the event of a fifth season, the possibility of incorporating the Death and Return of Superman arc arises, allowing for a thorough examination of Clark Kent's demise and subsequent revival, carrying profound ramifications.
The CW is bringing back Superman & Lois for a fourth season, but the show is facing significant changes due to budget cuts, including a reduction in the main cast. Despite this, it is unclear whether the network intends for season 4 to be the final one. While the creative team cannot discuss it, there is a possibility of a season 5 and the new villain for season 4 is set to pose an even greater threat.
Superman And Lois Season 4 May Not Be The Show's Last
Brad Schwartz, the new entertainment president of The CW, recently discussed the network's new direction and the challenging decisions they've faced in recent months on The Hollywood Reporter's TV's Top 5 podcast. During the interview, Schwartz specifically talked about Superman & Lois and other renewed shows, as well as the potential future of these series beyond the 2023-2024 TV season. While nothing is confirmed, Schwartz expressed the possibility of keeping the door open for Superman & Lois (and other shows) if they continue to be financially successful. He stated:
"It's evident that these four shows would be the ones to return; they all attract a large viewership and perform well on both linear and digital platforms. We have collaborated with our studio partners on both occasions [referring to Superman & Lois and Homecoming] to ensure profitability for everyone involved. When reevaluating such matters, tough decisions sometimes need to be made. However, if these shows remain profitable and successful, being some of our highest-rated programs, it only makes sense to consider their continuation. We will have discussions with the producers to gauge their interest in continuing. But if they prove to be both profitable and popular, why wouldn't we?"
Superman And Lois Season 5 Makes The Death Of Superman More Likely
Obviously, prior to airing and assessing the audience viewership, it is imperative that the production and filming of Superman & Lois season 4 take place. Nonetheless, as Schwartz himself has stated, it would undoubtedly be wise for The CW to grant approval for another season of this nature, particularly if it proves to be successful. In the event that Superman & Lois season 5 materializes – presumably scheduled for a 2025 release – the impending Doomsday storyline in season 4 assumes even greater significance for the series.
If season 5 is considered for Superman & Lois, it would provide the opportunity to properly explore The Death and Return of Superman story arc in season 4 and present Doomsday as the formidable adversary he is meant to be. By allowing Clark Kent's death to have a lasting impact before his eventual resurrection, there would be no need to rush through it in the limited 10-episode season 4. The consequences of Clark's death and resurrection would have significant implications for his character in a potential season 5, making Schwartz's comments promising for the development of Doomsday's storyline in season 4.
