After making fans wonder if Season 3 (the trailer for the season finale is posted above) would be the final season due to the CW's decision to move away from their traditional programming for the upcoming season, Superman & Lois was renewed for a 4th season. The renewal came with some major casting decisions, as the overwhelming majority of the

with that, there goes the last dc tv show right?

I don't know for sure.

Arrowverse yes, DC in general we're still waiting to hear whether Harley Quinn's getting renewed for season 5

Live action - yes.

Now its only MAX produced shows - Peacemaker.

First time DC won't be on tv in 20 years?

I am not surprised, I liked this more than some other DC shows but I also kind of forgot about it. It feels like a while since there were new episodes.

There are no lies in your comment. The CW has long done an exceptionally poor job of maintaining a scheduling momentum. The bulk of S3 aired in the summer. It was ridiculous.

It seems like for the coming season (and actually since the beginning of COVID in particular) lots of shows are falling victim to severe budget cuts, even when they're already in production, or after they've announced one thing and then coming back through and reducing episodes/canceling the show/etc. This doesn't surprise me at all, not just because of the CW's pivot to appealing to their "actual" demographic of "55+" so they claimed, but just industry trends in general. Pretty soon we are just going to be getting a bunch of what amounts to a short miniseries that end on cliffhangers never to be seen or heard from again.

It's funny because I, a person in my late 30s at the time, felt like a fossil watching CW shows when I knew that I didn't hit what I believed to be their intended audience (you know... tweens and teens and posssssssibly college students). But they have all that research that tells me that, compared to their actual audience, I was a spry young thing.

[squirrels_oh_no]

I still wonder how accurate that research was LOL. Or if in reality all those people are watching the non-primetime judge shows, hence why they seem to be pivoting to more stuff like that, except in primetime.

I remember reading ppl thinking it comes from kids borrowing their parents streaming services lol

Kind of poetic that it and all started and ended with Superman.

As it should.

[setsuna16]

Rather him than Bats.

Limitations and all, the show really got Clark/Supes as a person, a husband, a dad and a superhero and I'm pretty sad to lose that. But I also knew it was coming after The CW got sold.

I just hope Jon finally gets his powers and that the quality doesn't decrease as much so they can go out on top <3

[setsuna16]

It did do a good job of showing a fully formed Clark, for sure!
