Superman & Lois season 4: Release date speculation and latest news
It's the end of the line for the power couple.
With season 4 of Superman & Lois arriving, it's a bittersweet time for fans in more ways than one.
This season is set to be the final instalment in the superhero drama, in the midst of substantial changes at both US network The CW and DC Studios, which is now under new leadership.
James Gunn and Peter Safran may not have been directly involved in the decision to end Superman & Lois, but they have expressed a desire to streamline DC's output, as Warner Bros makes one last push towards a coherent cinematic universe.
Adding to the 'bitter' part of the deal was news that the main cast of Superman & Lois had to be trimmed dramatically as a result of budget cuts, with several major characters now possibly without a role in the send-off.
However, we do still have one season left to enjoy - although it's going to be an emotional one. The CW President of Entertainment Brad Schwartz teased: “It will make you cry.”
Plus, there are some new additions to the cast including Elizabeth Henstridge as Lex Luthor's daughter.

Superman & Lois season 4 release date
Superman & Lois season 4 is released on Monday 7th October 2024 in the US. There is no UK release date just yet but we'd expect the series to eventually come to BBC iPlayer.
However, season 3 took a good 10 months to arrive in the UK, so it may be a long wait for fans on this side of the Atlantic.
The show was renewed for its fourth and final season in June 2023.
