"Superman & Lois" Final Season Revealed to be Epic and Emotional

Posted on September 12, 2024 by Neil Cole

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, "Superman & Lois" stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch along with producers Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher discussed the upcoming final season of the hit CW television series revealing that it will be an 'epic' and 'emotional' closure to the series.

"Everyone's going to be crying in the final episode of the series," stated Tulloch. "I did."

Helbing and Fletcher had originally planed a seven season run of "Superman & Lois". However, following the acquisition of The CW by Nexstar Media Group and a change in focus by the network, it was announced that the series would be picked up for a fourth and final season much to the relief of the producers.

"We tested fate there, the way we ended season 3," showrunner Todd Helbing tells EW. "So we're really relieved that it all worked out."

It was previously revealed that season four will feature it's own version of the "Death of Superman" with the Man of Steel dying as a result from his battle with Doomsday. "There'll be plenty, plenty, plenty to watch in the premiere with that," teased Hoechlin.

Tullock adds, "It's epic! And that throws Lois once again into this situation where she is a heroine and she has to keep her family together. It’s obviously extremely shocking and traumatizing with just the grief, but also how much time do you have to grieve when you have Lex Luthor [Michael Cudlitz] still coming after you, and when Doomsday is still around? Not much. She really needs to step up and be the strong one for her family, which she does."

With Superman dead, Hoechlin touched on just how much of the Man of Steel fans will see?

"There are flashbacks, there are also other elements," he says. "So I feel like people can read between the lines there and put it together... There's one flashback in particular with Dylan Walsh [who plays General Sam Lane] that I had an unbelievable time with, it was so much fun."
