SUPERMAN & LOIS Season 4 Premiere Description Released; Showrunner Teases Cameo From Major Comic Character

The CW has released official episode titles and descriptions for the first two episodes of Superman & Lois season 4, offering insights into the Man of Steel's battle with Doomsday and Lex Luthor's plan.

We recently learned that Superman & Lois will return for its fourth and final season a little sooner than expected on October 7 and The CW has just shared the official descriptions for the two-part premiere. 

The first is titled "The End & The Beginning" and teases, "Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) is locked in a brutal battle with Luthor’s monster; Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) and the boys race against time to save General Lane (Dylan Walsh). Gregory Smith directed the episode written by Brent Fletcher & Todd Helbing."

The second episode is going to be called "A World Without" but this synopsis understandably offers no real insights into the outcome of the Man of Steel's battle with Doomsday. 

However, it sounds like Lex Luthor is still on the loose and about to enact his twisted plan for Smallville. "Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and Sarah (Inde Navarrette) join the fight against Luthor (Michael Cudlitz), who starts making moves in Smallville. Jordan (Alex Garfin) and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) butt heads over an important decision. Sudz Sutherland directed the episode written by Katie Aldrin & Kristi Korzec."

While Superman & Lois' producers had to cut costs to make sure season 4 happened (the creative team was cut back and many cast members are now making cameo appearances instead of playing full-blown supporting roles), it sounds like they've still gone all out.

TV Line recently caught up with co-showrunners Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher and learned "there is a pretty significant character from the comics that we were actually surprised that we were able to use - and it’s pretty soon in the season. You hear the name drop, then start hearing that name drop more, and then you see that person eventually."

Start placing your bets on who that might be!

Based on the characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the series is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Todd Helbing, Sarah Schechter, Brent Fletcher, and Geoff Johns.

The stakes will be higher than ever in the 10-episode send-off because all signs point to us getting an adaptation of the Death and Resurrection of Superman. The fourth and final season stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Bitsie Tulloch as Lois Lane, Alex Garfin as Jordan, Michael Bishop as Jonathan, and Michael Cudlitz as Lex Luthor.

Previous series regulars who will be returning as guest stars include Dylan Walsh (Sam Lane), Wolé Parks (John Henry Irons), Tayler Buck (Natalie Irons), Inde Navarrette (Sarah), Erik Valdez (Kyle), Emmanuelle Chriqui (Lana Lang), and Sofia Hasmik (Chrissy). Jimmy Olsen has also been cast in the DC TV show.

Superman & Lois season 4 premieres on The CW with two episodes on October 17 October 7.

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - not a chance. If they could use Bruce Wayne, this WHOLE season would’ve been marketed around his episode.

One of the greatest, if not THE greatest, superhero shows ever

Can't wait for this awful show/version to end and for Gunn to get Superman right

@HermanM - What’s so awful about it?
HermanM
HermanM - 9/7/2024, 12:57 PM
@CerealKiller1 - misses the point of the character, does away with the secret identity, makes the S come from Krypton, makes Superman into a cloying simp whose morality and world revolves around appeasing Lois, etc...

"There is a pretty significant character from the comics that we were actually surprised that we were able to use - and it’s pretty soon in the season. You hear the name drop, then start hearing that name drop more, and then you see that person eventually."

Chloe Sullivan ? Without the original actress, of course.

@Amuro - She’s not significant from the comics though

Hate how they treated doomsday on show everything else in series is good lex looks werid
CaptainFlapjaks
CaptainFlapjaks - 9/7/2024, 7:50 PM
@dragon316 - i mean, doomsday is arguably a more compelling/better written character here than he ever was. Or were you just hoping the fight would be longer? What didnt you like about doomsday?
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/7/2024, 11:14 AM
Interesting…

I wonder if this is the same character that Tom Cavanagh is supposedly playing?.

Since this is another world , it’s been implied that he’s not Eobard Thawne or Harrison Wells but a new person entirely…

Either way, Idk but my mind keeps going to Emil Hamilton who is somewhat of a significant supporting cast member in the comics (though I’m not sure why the showrunners would be surprised they got to use him then).

hope it's someone from the superman mythos and not the wider dc universe

the show has stood alone for 3 years, no need to start throwing in connections that will never be explored

If the show was going to keep going I could see them introducing a new Supergirl (Maybe around Jon an Jordan's age) but since this is the end, if it is Supergirl, might as well bring Melissa back to play a new take.

@DocSpock - Superman & Lois has strong stuff in it to me, so I don't see it as bad like that.

@dagenspear -

I understand. I know a lot of people like it. I admit it is easily the best of those mostly crummy CW shows.

He said it’s a comic character , he didn’t say it was a Superhero. It could be Alfred Pennyworth for all we know and he’s definitely a significant character.

@HermanM - Almost the entirety of that is incorrect about the show. Have you watched it?
HermanM
HermanM - 9/7/2024, 1:15 PM
@dagenspear - everything I said is correct about the show and yes I have watched it.
dagenspear
dagenspear - 9/7/2024, 1:16 PM
@HermanM - How much? Becuase it's mostly still not in the show what you said.
HermanM
HermanM - 9/7/2024, 1:31 PM
@dagenspear - I've watched enough to know it sucks and isn't what I want in a Superman show.

Superman as a simp where Lois and half the supporting cast know Clark is Superman and he's a doofy sitcom dad who is also cloying and over sensitive is not Superman to me.
WarAdmiral51
WarAdmiral51 - 9/7/2024, 2:01 PM
@HermanM - That's funny because that's exactly who Clark Kent is. He's a doofy sitcom dad. Have you ever met someone raised in the Midwest? Who exactly did you expect Clark to be?
HermanM
HermanM - 9/7/2024, 2:36 PM
@WarAdmiral51 - no, that's not who Clark is. He's not a doofy sitcom dad, a simp, a clod, or a goof.

He's a good man, warm, idealistic but also practical, with powers and abilities he's unsure the origin of but has purposed to use for good anyway. He cares deeply and also exercises tremendous restraint. He is good because it is the right thing to do, not because he just doesn't know any better.

He is a mature and learned character, not naive, not cloying, not saccharine, not immature, and not a simp whose world revolves around appeasing Lois Lane.

Apparently you haven't read any of the comics and stick to the equally awful My Adventures With Superman cringe show and the CW garbage, so I wouldn't expect you to understand.

@valmic - sorry you're too dimwitted to educate then.

@HermanM - You think your opinions are educational lmao. You're just a troll who doesnt stay away. You put down what others like because you think what you like is "superior." You've obviously never watched the show or just hate watch it because you're a miserable person. Superman will change with time and evolve into different versions because thats what people do.
valmic
valmic - 9/7/2024, 11:20 PM
@HermanM - The Clark represented in this show is exactly who Clark is. Hes a good man with strong morals who now has a family to worry about and sons to raise. You call him a simp for Lois, you've obviously never had a wife or even a girlfriend for that matter to know, you "simp" for the person you love, just as Lois has "simp'd" for him. Hes also a big goofy boyscout who can be naive at times because hes still learning like all of us, how the world and people and especially how kids work. Youre obviously not a Dad either. You can never expect a man in his 30's, not even a Super Man to know everything and thats what actually makes him relatable and interesting. The comics do it, the movies do it, this show does it. One thing they also do is make sure hes a good man at heart. Its funny how you put down all these versions and hold the Gunn movie up on a pedestal when 1st hes not even accurate to the comics already with his suit but also, we haven't seen one scene yet as to how he will be portrayed. If anything he looks just as good as everyone who's come before.
HermanM
HermanM - 9/7/2024, 11:25 PM
@valmic - Wrong. This series gets everything wrong that the snyderverse does but worse in that it also makes him a cloying doofy sitcom dad.

Gunn is basing his Superman off of For All Seasons, which is much truer to what his creators did, than any of this crap.

Gunn's suit also has the right colors and parts to it which alone makes it a hundred times better than the CW garbage. Corenswet also looks more like Superman than Hoechlin ever did and is a much better actor. The entire cast of Gunn's Superman is better than this crap, more accurate Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen castings.

The show is an embarrassment and is made for midwits that don't actually like Superman or know the character per his creators, like you and others.
HermanM
HermanM - 9/7/2024, 11:29 PM
@valmic - I have just as much right to express my opinion in this comment section as anyone. Sorry not sorry that you are so frustrated about being unable to refute my arguments that all you can do is resort to petty personal attacks. Stay butthurt.

The snyderverse is gone forever and in a matter of weeks so will the awful CW universe, and DC will be better for it. Go or grow.
HermanM
HermanM - 9/7/2024, 11:33 PM
@valmic - If you like doofy sitcom dad and angsty teen family with superpowers and no secret identity, go watch Fantastic Four or maybe The Incredibles or even X-Men.

That's not what Superman is though. Simple as.
valmic
valmic - 9/7/2024, 11:58 PM
@HermanM - 😂 You cant even put up a good argument, just repeat the same nonsense. If you've watched the show, he very much has a secret identity. If you watched the show you'd know there's no Jimmy Olsen who will actually be introduced this season coming. Who looks pretty comic accurate. Just because Gunn is basing his movie off of one comic doesnt mean it'll be as good. Guess what, Snyder based BvS off a beloved comic and look what happened there.
Simping for something you haven't even seen yet.
