After anxious fans waited on pins and needles, The CW finally announced that Superman & Lois season 4 will happen, with the caveat that season 4 will be the final season of the series. . Superman & Lois season 3 introduced several new stories and characters that will continue in the new season.
"We are thrilled to bring All-American: Homecoming and Superman & Lois back to The CW," said Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment at The CW, via a press release. "These series are two of our strongest performers across our linear and digital platforms with some of the most passionate fanbases in all of television. We are grateful to our partners at Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions for their continued collaboration, and we cannot wait to get started on the new seasons."
Some of the big changes in season 4 come about as a result of budget cuts. The CW opted to keep Superman & Lois and its other hit series on the bubble, All American: Homecoming, but in order to make it happen some cost-cutting had to be done. For Superman & Lois, that means a shortened 10-episode season and a trimmed-down roster of regular cast members.
Here's what we know about Superman & Lois season 4.

Superman & Lois season 4 plot
There's no synopsis for Superman & Lois season 4 just yet, but here's the general series synopsis from The CW: "In Superman & Lois, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever — dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society. Based on the characters from DC Comics created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster."
Superman & Lois season 4 cast
As mentioned previously, part of the deal to bring Superman & Lois back for a fourth season included cutting the number of series regulars. Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent/Superman), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane), Michael Bishop (Jonathan) and Alex Garfin (Jordan) will return in their roles as the Kent family, along with newly minted series regular Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead), who joined the show in season 3 as Lex Luthor.
Original cast members Dylan Walsh (Blue Bloods), Emmanuelle Chriqui (The Passage), Erik Valdez (Graceland), Inde Navarrette (13 Reasons Why) and Wolé Parks (All American), along with Tayler Buck (Tyler Perry's Assisted Living) and Sofia Hasmik (Mad About You) will not return as series regulars, but there's hope that they'll appear as guest or recurring stars in the new season.
