In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, "Superman & Lois" showrunners Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher discussed the upcoming final season of the television series and revealed some storyline aspects that had to be sadly cut due to the limitations of a shortened season.
"We wanted to pack as much story as we could into 10 episodes and give the fans as much of a Superman and Lois Lane story that we could," stated Helbing. "We were trying to do our version of the Phantom Zone for four seasons, and it was one of those things where it was like, ah, it just doesn't quite work."
Other than the Phantom Zone having to be axed, Fletcher revealed that no other major story-arcs had to be cut from the final season.
"It's pretty dramatic the whole way through," stated Fletcher. "There's not really any downbeats. It gets moving pretty quickly from the beginning, and it goes for 10 episodes. So, that was one of the things that really worked in our favor."
As for how the series will end, both Helbing and Fletcher were tight-lipped but did tease that fans will be surprised with an ending that is "meant to make you leave with big feelings" and a final episode that has "hopefulness and sadness".
The final season of "Superman & Lois" debuts with a special two-hour premiere on Monday, October 7th at 8:00pm (ET/PT) on The CW.
