We anticipated this being the case, and with DC Studios looking to create a true shared universe, Superman & Lois' end is now drawing near. Answering questions from select members of the press at a recent DCU launch event, James Gunn and Peter Safran addressed the future of this popular CW series.
They told reporters that they believe the show has "one or two more seasons" left in the tank, though Gunn would add that Superman & Lois is "a show everybody likes, so it’s going to keep going for a little bit."
We find it hard to imagine Superman & Lois still being around when Superman: Legacy arrives in theaters in 2025, so if the upcoming third season isn't the show's last, then the fourth - which we're guessing would come our way in 2024 - will be.
The series has been on the bubble for a while now, with Nexstar Media Group's acquisition of The CW bringing many of the network's scripted shows to an end. There's a chance Superman & Lois could be moved to HBO Max, but that seems unlikely when the streamer will be home to all the DCU TV shows Gunn and Safran are dreaming up.
Interestingly, both of them were asked about Gotham Knights, but had no comment on the show. As it's been shot, we're guessing it will get a first season before quietly fading away (the response from fans to the trailers has not been kind).
Greg Berlanti's time overseeing the Arrowverse - and small screen DC projects in general - is clearly over. His Green Lantern TV show has been switched out for Lanterns, while Titans and Doom Patrol were recently cancelled. Dead Boy Detectives is still in the works, though whether it will actually happen is hard to say.
Superman & Lois season 3 and Gotham Knights both premiere on The CW on March 14.
