Superman: Legacy Movie May Have Killed Superman & Lois

The recent CW day at the Television Critics Association Press Tour happened within the past week, and in addition to learning things like when Superman & Lois is coming back for Season 4, other outlets were able to get more information from CW President of Entertainment Brad Schwartz… and one of the things he said specifically stood out.

As many know, only four series from the previous CW regime were renewed for additional seasons. Walker and All American are back in April, All American: Homecoming will return in the Summer, and Superman & Lois is back in the Fall. During the presentation, it was said that Walker, All American, and Homecoming all could be renewed for more, in success…. but what about Superman & Lois? Could there be a Season 5?

Sadly, in a follow-up article on TheWrap, we may have gotten a glimpse as to something else that’s gone on. According to TheWrap article, it was a decision from Warner Bros. to not continue past Season 4. “They don’t want a competing Superman product in the marketplace,” Brad Schwartz said, referring to the new Superman movie, Superman: Legacy, hits theaters on July 11, 2025.

With strikes and budget cuts, we should probably consider ourselves lucky to even be getting a fourth season…. though within the wider DC multiverse, there should be room for more than one. (How many Batmen are there right now, anyway?) In any event, come 2025, the TV duo of Elizabeth Tulloch and Tyler Hoechlin will be passing the torch over to Rachel Brosnahan and David Corenswet.

  • Yet they have multiple Batman and that Elseworlds Superman project from JJ Abram’s. Not buying that reason.
