SUPERMAN & LOIS TV Series Ordered Straight To Series By The CW; Will Air During 2020/2021 Season

In a move that's considered a rarity for The CW, Superman & Lois will bypass the traditional pilot stage and receive a straight to series order ahead of a debut that looks likely for this Fall...

It's been revealed today that The CW has ordered Superman & Lois straight to series. That means the Supergirl spinoff will skip the traditional pilot stage as the usual procedure is for one of those to be produced before the network then hands out series orders in May depending on whether they like what they see.

This script-to-series pickup means that the DC Comics adaptation will air during the 2020 - 2021 broadcast season so expect to see the Man of Steel take centre stage on The CW this Fall!

It's also been confirmed today that Walker, a reimagining of the Walker, Texas Ranger TV series is also skipping the pilot stage. That stars Supernatural's Jared Padalecki in the title role. 

The good news for Superman & Lois is that an early order gives The CW a head start on hiring writers, casting, directors, and producing scripts before a rumours writers strike later this year. Regardless, seeing Superman back on the big screen promises to be a treat for fans seeing as his big screen adventures appear to have stalled. 

Here's the official synopsis for the show:

SUPERMAN & LOIS stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch as the world’s most famous Super Hero and comic books’ most famous journalist as they deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society. Both Hoechlin and Tulloch have already appeared as these iconic characters in multiple episodes of The CW’s DC Super Hero series, including this season’s Crisis on Infinite Earths Crossover event, which concludes tonight. Based on the characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, “SUPERMAN & LOIS” is written and executive produced by Todd Helbing (“The Flash”) and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns. The series is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.

I didn't even know this was a thing.
I assume this will be more along the lines of a "romantic drama" like the old show?

@Feralwookiee - Considering we are getting Jon Kent and based on casting calls maybe Damian, im guessing it will be kind of like Black Lightning, with most of the drama being on the family dynamic.

There should honestly be a Superman show on DC Universe or HBO Max. It's crazy how far the Superman brand has fallen. Not only is his film franchise in shambles and WB isn't even bothering with the TV embargo anymore, but his big TV show is on the [frick]ing CW.

Remember in the 2000s and early 2010s, when Superman rivalled Batman in popularity? I do, too.

@Darkknight2149 - The only thing really keeping Superman popular during those times was Smallville, a CW show.

I don't think it's that. It's that WB doesn't know what to do with Superman anymore. His big reboot made less money than a controversial Iron Man sequel and was criticised for "Nolanising" him, WB is currently going through multiple directors trying to figure out how to make Superman "relevant" to modern audiences, the New 52 and Earth One comics tried way too hard to make him edgy, ETC. WB keeps trying way too hard to reinvent the wheel.

As a result of their "modern" and "grounded" sensibilities, WB simply doesn't understand how to properly depict Superman. And as a result, his popularity and public perception has taken a serious dip.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - really and truly he had fallen off since the late 90s ... there were a few Celebs (SHAQ) who kind of pushed the character ... but if anything i would say Smallville hurt the Superman Legacy ...IMO

@Darkknight2149 - i agree a Superman Show along with Batman should be the Cornerstones of the DC universe network.. HBO should have all of the R rated DC stuff
Darkknight2149
Darkknight2149 - 1/14/2020, 1:24 PM
@Victorg1983 -
He was pretty damn popular up until the early 2010s. It wasn't until after Man of Steel, the New 52, and Batman v Superman that WB stopped seeing Superman as a Batman-level cash cow and even lifted the TV embargo that they have on all of their priority characters.

For whatever reason, WB just doesn't understand the appeal of Superman. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Superman film is another attempt to make him "grounded" and edgy, or if they just straight up Marvelise him and make it a comedy.

@Darkknight2149 - Well people like this Superman. hopefully it turns out well, Supergirl has used a good amount of his villains
Darkknight2149
Darkknight2149 - 1/14/2020, 1:33 PM
@dracula - 
He's alright. If they can balance the teen drama stuff with the Superman aspects we want to see, then this should be a solid show. I would have preferred Brandon Routh, but Tyler Hoenchlin does a good enough Christopher Reeve impersonation.

A major issue is that, up until this point, Hoenchlin has been a jobber for Supergirl. I guess they'll just sweep that under the rug now that he has his own show, lol.

@Darkknight2149 - Well this is what happens when the Superman brand has been ruined by the early "DCEU". There probably isn't going to be another Superman film for a while.
