Superman & Lois Might Begin Filming In October (UPDATED)

NOTE: This article has been updated with the latest information as of July 31, 2020. Previous postings were based on earlier production charts and have since changed.

As with everything in this time of COVID-19, there are no guarantees when things may be up and running to start filming again. The Superman & Lois pilot episode was supposed to shoot months ago, but the virus, of course, kept that from happening. As shows begin production again, with many CW series at least scheduled to premiere in January 2021, it’ll all have to happen sometime… but when?

So, obviously things are subject to change, and it is to be assumed that if filming can safely start either sooner or later, it will, but right now, Vancouver production charts list Superman & Lois Season 1 as filming from October 13, 2020 – May 1, 2021. Three days later and we would’ve hit the anniversary of the Smallville premiere! Lee Toland Krieger (Riverdale) is still listed as directing the pilot.

So, again. This could change depending on when production can begin again — but the news is encouraging that it made it onto a production calendar.

Lee Toland Krieger (Riverdale) is still on board to direct and Assistant Directors include Gordon McDonald (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) and Ian Samoil (The 100).

In SUPERMAN & LOIS, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin, “Teen Wolf”) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, “Grimm”), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever – dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, “Little Fires Everywhere”) and  Jordan (Alexander Garfin, “The Peanuts Movie”) could inherit their father’s Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older.  Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui, “Entourage”), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, “Graceland”).  The adults aren’t the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle’s rebellious daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette, “Wander Darkly”).  Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, “Nip/Tuck”) looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment’s notice.  Meanwhile, Superman and Lois’ return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, “All American”) enters their lives.  Based on the characters from DC created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, SUPERMAN & LOIS is written and executive produced by Todd Helbing (“The Flash”) and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns.  The series is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
