An emoji is worth a thousand words, especially when that emoji is being sent by DC Studios’ new co-CEO.
James Gunn on Monday dropped a pair of praise hands on a Threads post by Superman & Lois star Bitsie Tulloch, who shared the front cover of her script for the CW drama’s final season premiere, which we now know to be titled “The End and the Beginning.” (See the exchange here.)
This may seem like a minor comment to some, but the truth is that even a passing acknowledgement of Superman & Lois is a big deal for Gunn, who’s currently hard at work on the next big-screen iteration of the Man of Steel’s story; Gunn is writing and directing 2025’s Superman: Legacy, which stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.
Gunn and producing partner Peter Safran officially stepped into their roles as co-chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios in November 2023, overseeing “the overall creative direction of the storied superhero franchise across film, TV and animation under a new, unified banner.”
Superman & Lois is just beginning production on its 10-episode fourth and final season, which is expected to premiere sometime this spring. The show’s third season concluded in June with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) facing off against iconic DC villain Doomsday, who is now seemingly immortal after getting an assist from Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz). Both Hoechlin and Cudlitz are returning as series regulars in Season 4, along with Bitsie Tulloch as Lois, Alex Garfin as Jordan and Michael Bishop as Jonathan.
What are your hopes for Superman & Lois‘ final season? Drop ’em in a comment below.
Going to miss this show and Tyler’s Superman so much. Can’t wait for this season and hopefully there’s a major focus on Superman/Clark and Lois.
The only thing that made this show good was it’s full cast. Have zero interest in what this show will become especially with the actress that plays Lois. She almost single handedly took down Grimm. Luckily that show fixed the problem and the show got better. What’s funnier, the fact that she was the main characters love interest and was replaced by the main female villain. Or that she had zero chemistry with the male lead whom she married in real life.
I just hope most of the extended cast can return for more than 1 or 2 episodes each.
I know it’s nominally a show about Superman, but the its the human stories that have really been the driving force for the past 3 seasons – the fact that Clark is Superman has been almost incidental most of the time.
Or maybe James Gunn is just glad this Superman will be over soon not to interfere with his Superman plans. Ultimately that’s what DC Studios is now doing, trying to put all past DC Studio in the past, so they can have control over what’s to come next.
Its just odd james would want to put lex as his main villain for the superman movie considering this season of s&l will have lex as main villain. Brainiac, ultra humanite, darkseid, toyman, metallo, parasite, cyborg superman, so many many others and we get lex….again.
Him, doomsday and zod are way way too overused in superman live action adaptations.
Gunn has a leadership responsibility to provide this professional courtesy. The last McRib is coming off the assembly line and he’s acknowledging it.
I hate to see this show end. It is one of a very few left that I watch on the over -the-air , non cable channels. I sure hope another network will pick it up, even if it’s Netflix.
Just a heads up. It’s not premiering this Spring LoL. It will be late summer at the earliest if not early Fall
Sorry to see another great series coming to an end. Hope it ends with Superman as a world Hero, his family strong bonded and perhaps a unity that’s never been done before …
Funny that he cheers on considering that he is essentially the reason why it is ending because WBTV has to “clear the docks” so everything is ready and set for the DCU. Only Corensweat is now allowed to be Superman, no one else can in a different medium. This is why I don’t like nor am looking forward to the new cinematic verse, you either line up or you line up. So boring and reductive.
To be fair, part of the problem is the idiots now running the CW who don’t want anything reminding people that the CW existed before they took over on the network.
That said,I am torn between curiosity as to what Gunn and Zaslav have in mind and anger that Zaslav and Gunn’s egos are so fragile that they can’t bear to have anything around that will take away any of their glory as architects of the DC universe. I am utterly appalled by their treatment of the Arrowverse (and I do not believe the Arrowverse was perfect. I hated Legends of Tomorrow and that’s not the only problem I have with the Arrowverse. But there was more good about it than bad),Young Justice etc. I hope that the new Elseworlds label continues these universes, introduces us to more and that Zazslav and Gunn get secure enough to acknowledge and to be grateful for the great work of their predecessors.
That CW network
Are very ignorant cuz ever show you into they decide to pull the plug on every good TV show just like they did got them nice you got one season and then it was over
It’s like really another good show going down the drain cuz it’s CW really starting to hate the CW
The real CW didn’t pull all the plugs on their entire slate, things sadly changed when WBD pursued selling the network to a bunch of good-for-nothing execs from Nexstar who have no interest in scripted shows. The former president of the CW, Mark Pedowitz, had to leave in October because the writing was on the wall. Had he stayed and had WB not made the foolish decision to end the deal they had with Netflix to air their finished shows on the streamer, The CW wouldn’t have been up to sale. Just a bad set of decisions that led to the downfall of a very cool and different network that offered a variety of genres. But honestly it’s all Nexstar’s fault. they screwed everything up and have pushed away the main demographic of the network and their results are very bad, for not saying idiotic.
