As a spin-off of the successful CW show “Supergirl”, Superman and Lois get to tell their reimagined story.
“Superman and Lois” follows the characters as they have to navigate their new lives as parents raising twin boys as well as being a world famous journalist and superhero.
The show takes place right after the events of 2019’s crossover “Crisis on Infinite Earths.”
Unlike the other tellings, this show is not an origin story like “Smallville.”
Whether it be the TV shows or movies, this is a show is a new addition to the same story that fans of Superman all grew to love.
The audience gets to see one of the most iconic superheroes of all time try to figure out the balance between being a father to his kids and also protecting the world from bad guys.
Clark, Lois and their kids find themselves back in Smallville where they become reacquainted with Kent’s former high school crush Lana Lang and her family. In their quaint hometown, they find out that not everyone is as they seem.
So far, the CW has released the first five episodes of the season with more to come on May 18th due to a delay in production.
Introduced in season 2 of “Supergirl”, TV actor Tyler Hoechlin reprises his role as “The Man of Steel” along with Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane.
Both characters would make cameos every now and again whether it be on a big crossover between all the CW Arrowverse shows or on “Supergirl.”
The series made its debut on February 23rd 2021 to a total of 3.25 million views (both live and DVR tapings).
It quickly became the most streamed CW show for a series premiere.
Within a week of the first episode airing, the CW quickly announced that the show would be returning for a season 2.
For the last five weeks, the show has been able to draw in a strong number of viewers for both live airings and DVR recordings.
From his television debut in 1952 with “Adventures of Supeman” to the most recent show (before “Superman and Lois”) starting in 2000 with “Smallville”, the Man of Steel is still flying high and into the hearts of many fans.
No amount of Kryptonite will be able to keep Clark Kent grounded for long.
