KryptonSite has learned some new details about characters appearing in The CW’s Superman & Lois series.

While we have gotten word that characters such as Lana Lang, Martha Kent, and Sam Lane will be seen in The CW’s upcoming Superman & Lois TV series, KryptonSite has learned that a few icons from Superman’s past may be showing up in the series premiere, as we get some flashbacks to show how things got to the present day.

As always, things could change: After all, the original pilot script for Arrow made mention of Cat Grant of all people hosting on Channel 52; when the show went to series, that was not a thing, paving the way for Calista Flockhart who appeared on Supergirl. Also, with the greater DC landscape, permissions can and do change for which characters we are allowed to see.

So who might we see?

Jonathan Kent before his death: We’re not sure if we’ll see his death scene or possibly the moment that Jonathan and Martha Kent found baby Kal-El. In any event, the character – famously played in the past by such actors as Glenn Ford, Kevin Costner, John Schneider, and Eddie Jones — will likely make an appearance.

Perry White: Great Caesar’s Ghost, did you really think we wouldn’t see him?

Ron Troupe: A Daily Planet character that married Lucy Lane in the comics.

Max Mencken: A character mostly known from other media as a gossip reporter for the Daily Planet, he was played by Katie Cassidy’s grandfather Jack Cassidy in the musical “It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, It’s Superman!” Interestingly, Katie’s uncle Patrick Cassidy played Mencken in a stage production… and Patrick played Lana Lang’s biological father Henry Small in Smallville as well as a man who pretended to be Lex Luthor Jr. in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. And yet Marvel are the ones who claim “It’s All Connected!”

We hear characters like Pete Ross and Morgan Edge might at the very least be mentioned as well. Morgan Edge appeared on Supergirl where he was played by Adrian Pasdar; Pete, of course, was famously played by Sam Jones III on Smallville.

Stay tuned for more Superman & Lois news as it becomes available and be sure to follow our Twitter accounts for the show: @KryptonSite and @SupermanLoisTV if we happen to end up using it more! As the coming weeks approach we are sure to hear a lot more casting news.

We’re down to the final days of production for Superman & Lois and Elizabeth Tulloch has shared on her Instagram story that they have finished filming on the Cloverdale backlot that was built for the show in 2020. Interestingly, she also pointed out that the backlot will soon be used for a major project. No word on what show will be taking over the lot, but she says the show is “very prestigious.”

Next up, via “flashfacts4real” on Instagram who shared the photos from Canadagraphs, some shots from the finale filming! Several not-yet-announced returning faces who were no longer series regulars seem to be present. It’s very interesting that we see a fairly beat-up Superman in one shot; we’re also fascinated by the “25 Years of Steelworks Industries” shot which shows artwork of John Henry Irons (Wolé Parks) in a look and a suit very reminiscent of the comics, complete with the red cape and the “S.” The “25 years” makes us wonder… are we getting a flash-forward in the final episode? That could be quite interesting, especially if we get to see what happens to the Kent family in the decades to come. It may also provide a good bookend for the series premiere which explored their past.

The final season of Superman & Lois is set to premiere this Fall on The CW. Season 4 will consist of only ten episodes and of the cast, only five will be returning as series regulars: Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent/Superman), Elizabeth “Bitsie” Tulloch (Lois Lane), Alex Garfin (Jordan Kent), Michael Bishop (Jonathan Kent), and Michael Cudlitz (Lex Luthor). The other members of the cast, including Wolé Parks, Tayler Buck, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Dylan Walsh, and Sofia Hasmik, will be returning on a recurring basis as guest stars.

Another returning actor has been confirmed for the Superman & Lois series finale.

We had already seen that Tayler Buck (Natalie) would be back for the finale; now also via Instagram we see that Emmanuelle Chriqui (Lana Lang) will be back for the final episode as well.

“SO many emotions… much more later,” she captioned it.

Tyler Hoechlin (Clark), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois), Alex Garfin (Jordan), Michael Bishop (Jonathan), and Michael Cudlitz (Lex Luthor) are the only series regulars who will be returning in that status for the final season, but most of the actors not on that list, including Chriqui, Buck, Wolé Parks, Dylan Walsh, Sofia Hasmik, and Erik Valdez, are expected to make guest appearances in Season 4.

As revealed earlier this week by Bitsie Tulloch, the series finale is called “It Went By So Fast.” The fourth and final season will consist of only ten episodes, with the last one currently filming as we speak. Superman & Lois Season 4 is scheduled to premiere this Fall on The CW; follow @KryptonSite on Twitter/X for continued updates about the new season! And if you’d like to see what Emmanuelle posted on Instagram, you can see an embed below.

Superman & Lois star Elizabeth “Bitsie” Tulloch (Lois Lane) has shared the title of the series finale in an Instagram post as filming has begun for the final episode.

The series finale will be called “It Went By So Fast” and it is written by showrunners Brent Fletcher and Todd Helbing. As KryptonSite revealed a few weeks ago, the finale director is Gregory Smith. Filming for Season 4 is expected to continue for the next week. In many ways, “It Went By So Fast” is a perfect title for a the final episode of this TV series, as it feels like just yesterday Superman & Lois premiered on The CW.

“Tried to take a normal ‘First day of filming the #SupermanAndLois series finale!’ selfie, but quickly ended up in tears,” she captioned her post. “What a beautiful ride this has been. So grateful. Especially to our crew – this final season has been tough ph”ysically and emotionally on everyone and I see you and how hard you are working and I am so appreciative of you all.”

Alex Garfin, who plays her son Jordan on Superman & Lois, had a quote to add. “The real Superman was the Lois we made along the way,” he commented. Other comments of support came from Arrowverse favorites such as Candice Patton (The Flash’s Iris) and Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin from The Flash).

Tayler Buck has also revealed on social media that she’s filming, so we can expect to see her in the series finale. The speculation is that most if not all of the cast that are no longer series regulars will be back for the final episode, though this is not officially confirmed.

The fourth and final season of Superman & Lois premieres this Fall on The CW; you can see Bitsie’s Instagram post embedded below. Special thanks goes out to Ben/TheDCTVShow for bringing this news to our attention with today’s video!
