Superman & Lois TV show to end after fourth season in 2024

Ending fueled by changes in network's programming under Nexstar and budget cuts, signalling an end to the CW's DC era.

The decision to end Superman & Lois with its fourth season in 2024 has been announced by The CW, marking the end of the network's DC era largely due to changes in programming under Nexstar and budget cuts.
Co-showrunners Brent Fletcher and Todd Helbing have revealed that the last season will feature a major arc leading to a face-off against Lex Luthor, the infamous supervillain.
Since Nexstar's controlling interest of The CW in 2022, the network has been steadily trimming its scripted programming, looking to start with a clean slate and pivot to more sports and unscripted content.
The final season of Superman & Lois will only feature four series regulars, and it will be hit by budget cuts affecting its episode count and other aspects of the series.
The decision to end the show comes as DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran seek to create a shared universe for film and TV brand new takes on the company's heroes and villains.
