Superman & Loishas proved itself to be above the other CW Arrowverse shows in terms of its CGI and sometimes even storylines. As such, over the course of two seasons and the currently airing third one, it has amassed a massive fan following who go with Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and their two sons on their adventures.
But it looks like there’s trouble in paradise. For a long time, fans of Tyler Hoechlin’s last son of Krypton and Bitsie Tulloch’s Lois Lane were hoping that even with James Gunn rebooting the DCU with a new man of steel, their show would be able to squeeze in one of two more seasons. But that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
Superman & LoisTo Be Cancelled At The CW?
Questions over the renewal ofSuperman & Loisdidn’t begin afterJames Gunnannounced his plans forSuperman: Legacy. They began when Nexstar Media Group bought The CW. As Deadline reported, the main thing concerning the new ownership of the network is to ensure “lower-cost scripted programming in order to make the network profitable.”
Since a lot of the shows already on the network aren’t exactly as cheap to produce as Nexstar would like so the axe of cancellation has been falling on a lot of them.Walker: Independence, a spin-off of the hit show,Walker, starring Jared Padalecki, has been canceled after one season. WhileWalkeritself has been renewed but the number of episodes has been kept to only 13.

Walkerwas The CW’s best-performing show, withSuperman & Loismostly coming in second. So it getting a shortened season order is concerning for the DC superhero show. Moreover, previously, Brad Schwartz, the network’s new president, hadn’t offered any positive responses on having more DC content on the network.
However, Deadline reported that there’s a chance the superhero show could get renewed. But there’s a catch. The site stated “Of the Warner Bros. TV-produced shows, Superman & Lois and All American: Homecoming could make the cut if there are more scripted renewals, which is a big ‘if.’” However, instead of waiting for The CW to make its decision, fans of the Tyler Hoechlin-led show are already campaigning for HBO to save it.
