Chrissy Beppo’s baby daddy is officially back in action. Erik Valdez on Tuesday posted a selfie from his trailer on the set of Superman & Lois, confirming his return in the CW drama’s upcoming fourth and final season.
One of the last remaining original scripted shows on the network, Superman & Lois‘ Season 4 renewal came with a few major caveats. Not only was its traditional episode order reduced, but only five actors would be returning as series regulars, leaving fans to wonder how much of the show’s ensemble cast — including Valdez as Kyle Cushing — would still have a presence on the show.
With this “first trailer selfie” now posted, we can officially confirm that Kyle will be back for at least one episode of Superman & Lois’ farewell season. What’s more, Valdez is using his return as an opportunity to honor his late father.
“I had a chat with our wonderful costumes [department], and they agreed to let me honor my dad by wearing his signature black boots,” Valdez writes in his caption. “Kyle’s gonna have a bit more pep in his step and maybe a few more dance moves this season.”
See Valdez’s full Instagram post below:
The list of former series regulars whose future with Superman & Lois remains unknown includes Dylan Walsh as General Sam Lane, Emmanuelle Chriqui as Mayor Lana Lang, Inde Navarrette as Lana and Kyle’s daughter Sarah, Wolé Parks as John Henry Irons (aka Steel), Tayler Buck as John Henry’s daughter Natalie and Sofia Hasmik as Smallville Gazette editor-in-chief Chrissy Beppo.
The only five actors returning as series regulars are Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Bitsie Tulloch as Lois Lane, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent and Michael Cudlitz as Lex Luthor.
Superman & Lois returns for its final season this spring. An exact premiere date has not been announced.
I figure most of the OG characters who were dropped will, essentially, be regulars. I think it likely that most of the characters will be in most of the eps. It is just that not every ep will have all, or even most, of the characters.

This was a cost saving measure designed to pay folks less. Thanks to the well known in advance strikes, which were sure to be protracted (they were), the showrunners knew the supporting actors would have no chance to find new work, making them very available for 6ish appearances in the shortened final season. Very cynical and D-baggy.
Exactly. I figure every former main cast member will be in most of the episodes. There was never a doubt that any of them would not return lol.
Yeah and I think the first one he posted has Chrissy as again they can occur as guest stars
It’s not good, but if the other option was to really drop them completely and thus not pay them at all…
Should have just cancelled it instead of insulting viewers with a “less-than-stellar” sendoff. I’ll just bide my time and wait for Superman fix when “Legacy” hits the screens.
