Superman & Lois Cast, Showrunners Tease Flashbacks and Surprising End to CW Series

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in DC comics and their television adaptations, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia as I anticipate the final season of Superman & Lois. The show has been a breath of fresh air in the Arrowverse, offering a unique take on the Man of Steel that resonates with both hardcore fans and casual viewers alike.


In roughly four weeks, the fourth and last season of The CW’s DC series “Superman & Lois” will air, marking the end for this Arrowverse-related show, but the upcoming season seems poised to pack a punch. The previous season ended on a dramatic note with Superman battling Doomsday, and previews for Season 4 hint at a world without Superman as the show tackles its own take on the “Death of Superman” storyline from the comics. As we approach October’s premiere, the cast and crew are sharing some tantalizing insights about what’s to come in the final season. They promise an emotionally charged finale, with flashbacks, a shocking conclusion, and more.

In conversation with EW, actor Tyler Hoechlin admitted there might have been a time when he missed a rehearsal or blocking session. However, he assured fans that he is indeed part of the current season and spent several months filming. Furthermore, he hinted that the upcoming season will incorporate flashbacks, including an intriguing one involving Dylan Walsh’s character General Sam Lane.

In a conversation, Hoechlin mentioned, “There are moments from the past reappearing, as well as other aspects.” This implies that viewers can infer some connections. One specific flashback involving Dylan Walsh stands out for me; working on that scene was an incredible experience and pure joy.

Additionally, Hoechlin disclosed that the final outcome of the series “Superman & Lois” remained a secret, not just for the audience, but also for him, until it became necessary for him to learn the ending details.

According to Hoechlin, he hadn’t figured out the real ending until we were nearly there. Throughout the different seasons, we’d talked about various possible endings that seemed interesting. In fact, it wasn’t until around halfway through this season that I was still guessing which route they would take.

Brent Fletcher, the showrunner, hinted that the final episode of “Superman & Lois” will catch fans off-guard. They won’t foresee the destination of the journey the series takes.

Fletcher expressed his belief that viewers might not expect how the show is wrapping up. Once it concludes and the credits roll, he believes audiences will find themselves taken aback.

“I think they’ve done a beautiful job of saying something poignant,” Hoechlin added.

Besides an unexpected conclusion, time jumps back, and the finale season promises some special guest appearances along with a significant role for The Flash veteran Tom Cavanagh that hasn’t been played by him before in this series. Helbing and Fletcher hinted that his character will be based on a well-known comic figure, keeping fans guessing.

As a dedicated fan, I was genuinely astonished when the showrunners hinted at the early appearance of a notable comic character. The anticipation builds as you gradually hear this character’s name mentioned more frequently, and finally, they make their grand entrance on screen!

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but echo Helbing’s sentiments when he mentioned to ComicBook that the enigmatic character Cavanagh embodies seems tailor-made for him. It’s almost as if this character leapt from the pages of a comic book script and found its perfect match in Cavanagh.

This season features an abundance of cameos, making it the most packed with them compared to any other season so far. This overflow is due to the fact that these characters originate from the comics. In essence, it seems as though someone met Tom Cavanagh, traveled back in time, created this character, and then suggested they should cast this individual for the role. It was almost effortless casting.

Beginning on Monday, October 7th at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, The CW will launch the first two episodes of the final season for the series Superman & Lois. After that, new episodes will air every Monday night at the same time.
