Superman & Lois season 3 is set to be renewed at The CW, according to a new report. First premiering in February 2021, Superman & Lois officially joined the Arrowverse alongside other shows like Batwoman, The Flash, Supergirl, DC Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow, and Stargirl. Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin as Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane and follows the duo's struggle to balance work, justice, and parenthood.
The series has garnered generally positive reviews from both audiences and critics, and the pilot episode had the most viewers of any The CW show pilot other than Batwoman. Superman & Lois is currently in the midst of airing season 2, with episode 1 premiering on January 11. While the season 2 does not yet have a critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes, since it has not concluded, the audience score sits at a lofty 92%, beating season 1's average of 72%. However, the 92% score comes only from 60 user ratings and is sure to change as Superman & Lois season 2 concludes.
In a new report from THR, Superman & Lois season 3 is said to be set for renewal. Although not yet officially confirmed by The CW, the report claims that the show is "a lock to return for season three." In a rundown of the network's lineup, Superman & Lois joins The Flash as the only Arrowverse shows marked to return with such confidence.
Having not yet even concluded season 2, Superman & Lois is one of the newer The CW shows, but its quality and ratings already suggest it could potentially become a mainstay for the network. The Flash currently stands at eight seasons and would be renewed for season 9, making it one of the longest-running shows on the network. It's not yet clear if Superman & Lois will have that same longevity, but the show is clearly loved by its viewers, and there is plenty of source material from which to pull inspiration for future storylines.
The CW shows are well known for their many crossover episodes, with characters and storylines from one show often spilling into others. Superman & Lois has yet to feature any big crossover events, but many fans are hotly anticipating what the end of season 2 could hold in terms of surprises. If Superman & Lois does return for season 3, the show may be free to explore bigger and bolder storylines, potentially crossing over with another popular Arrowverse show for a special episode. While not yet confirmed by the network, this latest report suggests that Superman & Lois season 3 is a virtual certainty, which should bring comfort to fans who have been waiting for news.
