Superman & Lois season 4: Release date, cast and trailer

But there are more twists and turns to come in these closing 10 episodes, which see Smallville under threat from Superman's arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz), who has a certain monster known as Doomsday in his corner.

Some fans have complained that Superman & Lois is ending earlier than it could have done, with external factors such as The CW's sale to Nexstar and James Gunn's relaunch of DC Studios playing a role in the decision to wind down here.

But don't despair as the final episodes earned high praise when they premiered in the US last year, with critics generally agreeing that season 4 is a fitting send-off for this underrated gem.

Here's everything you need to know about Superman & Lois season 4.

Superman & Lois season 4 release date

Superman & Lois season 4 is now available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

The final episodes of the DC Comics drama will be getting a late-night premiere on broadcast television, airing a double-bill from 11:30pm Sunday 9th February, on BBC One.

The series will continue in the early hours of the morning on Monday 17th February, with episodes 3 and 4 airing at 12:10am and 12:55am in England and Wales. In Scotland, the double-bill begins an hour later.

Suffice to say, it will probably be easier for most viewers to record the episodes or catch them on BBC iPlayer.

The UK premiere of Superman & Lois season 4 has been a long time coming, with the final episodes beginning their rollout in the US all the way back in October of last year. Hopefully, you've been able to dodge any spoilers from across the pond!
