UPDATE 17-06-2025:
The CWis officially developingSuperman & Lois, starring Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch as Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane respectively. This news confirms our report released last year of The CW eyeing a Superman spinoff set in the Arrowverse.
Todd Helbing fromThe Flashalong with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Geoff Johns will executive produce the show.
This is the second Arrowverse spinoff announced by The CW this year.Green Arrow and the Canariescurrentlyin productionas well.
Talks are heating up for Tyler Hoechlin to receive his very ownSupermanshow onThe CW.
With Henry Cavillreportedlyvacating the red and blue tights asWarner Bros.looks to retire Superman from the big screen, we atFandomWireare hearing that the studio wants to move Superman to the small screen.
Any plans for a newSupermanfeature film,Man of Steel 2or otherwise, stalled after the disappointing box office ofJustice League. Sources claim that the studio lost confidence in Superman’s ability to draw audiences to the cinema. Meanwhile, Hoechlin’s performance as a more “traditional” Man of Steel on The CW’sSupergirlhas been met with plenty of praise. As seen with Deathstroke, Warner Bros. are not big fans of having a character on the big screen and small screen at the same time, which gives more credence to a Superman TV series happening.
Our understanding is that the fifth annualDC TV ArrowversecrossoverElseworlds, that will see Hoechlin return as Superman alongsideArrow, Supergirl, andThe Flash, and the introduction ofElizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, will act as a backdoor pilot. How fans and critics alike respond to their portrayals will likely determine if a show centered around them gets off the ground or not. If proven successful, The CW would likely pick upe the series. As previously reported, Warner Bros. will be taking a similar approach with the introduction of Batwoman inElseworlds,in hopes that they can spin off the character into a new series.
We want to make it clear that just because something is in development, doesn’t necessarily mean that the project will come to fruition. However, a project like this, assuming the crossover is well received, is likely to become a reality.

Kara Zor-El was sent to Earth from Krypton as a 13-year-old by her parents Zor-El and Alura. Krypton was exploding, and Kara’s parents sent Kara in a spacecraft to Earth after her cousin. Kara was meant to protect her infant cousin Kal-El, but her spacecraft was knocked off course and forced into the Phantom Zone, where it stayed for 24 years. By the time the spacecraft crash-landed on Earth, Kal-El had grown up and become Superman. The series begins eleven years later when the now 24-year-old Kara is learning to embrace her powers and has adopted the superheroic alias “Supergirl”.
Supergirlairs Sundays at 8 pm ET on The CW.
