Superman & Lois Season 5 Update Makes Its New Villain Way More Terrifying

Following the arrival of his biggest foe in season 3, a new update about Superman & Lois season 5 makes the new DC villain's season 4 arc bigger.

A new Superman & Lois season 5 update sets up the Man of Steel's new villain in a more terrifying way. While television is in a somewhat paused state right now due to the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes, The CW is planning on bringing Superman & Lois back for season 4, as it becomes the final remaining DC TV drama on the network. However, Superman & Lois season 4 is heading into its most drastically-different season ever as its renewal was dependent on massive budget cuts, including the trimming of the main cast.



While Superman & Lois will have at least one more season, many have been wondering whether or not The CW is planning season 4 to be the show's final one. At the time of the Superman & Lois season 4 renewal, The CW didn't indicate one way or another that they are eying this to be the DC TV show's swan-song season. While the writers and showrunner for the DC family adventure can't talk about it creatively, Superman & Lois' season 5 chances may have just increased while also making the new villain for season 4 an even bigger threat.



Brad Schwartz, who is the new entertainment president of The CW, recently appeared on The Hollywood Reporter's TV's Top 5 podcast, where he spoke about the network's new direction and some of the tough decisions they have had to make over the last few months. Throughout the interview, Schwartz spoke about Superman & Lois, as well as the other shows that have been renewed, while also addressing what those series' future may look like after the 2023-2024 TV season. Without setting anything in stone, Schwartz is keeping the door open for Superman & Lois (and other series) if it continues to be profitable, stating the following:



It’s obvious that those would be the four to come back; those are all million-viewer shows that do well in linear and on digital, we were able to work with our studio partners in both of those occasions [Superman & Lois, Homecoming] to make sure that the show is profitable for everybody. Sometimes when you when you re-address something like that, you have to make tough decisions. We’ve gotten those shows to a place where, why couldn’t they continue if they’re profitable? Those will be conversations we have with the producers to see the appetite to keep going. But if they’re profitable and successful, and some of our highest-rated shows, why wouldn’t they?

Here's hoping, but with CW wankers you just don't know. I'm prepared for S4 to be it, I'd love a S5 though. Since Jonathan and Jordon will graduate high school in S5.

Well have to wait and see. 

I mean they already nuked their budget.

[adzpower]

I'd be shocked if it got a fifth season, what would that even look like? Even more reduced budget, possibly more reduced cast? I'd rather it just end on a high note with season 4.

[Squad 51]

We'll wait and see. Just I'm looking forward to S4.

[matt]

We'll see what happens. We still have to get through S4 first and with the strike still ongoing. We may be waiting another year for S4 for all we know.

[Tim]

Best to see it end, before they gut the budget any further.  And you know the Cheap Wankers would do just that.

[Too Much Coffee]

I'm fine if it ends after 4 seasons. The budget cuts and all. It's the best thing to do and end it before it gets a surprise cancellation.

[Melinda Halliwell]

Of course, no one likes seeing their favourite shows end before their time but sometimes it's better than dragging those out and the quality fades obviously.

[Tim]

One last season will be fine with me.  

Let the show go out on high note.
