After spending the entire 2023-24 broadcast season off-air,Superman & Loiswill finally finish their journey as part of the CW’s Fall line-up. Season 3 of the series ended back in June 2023, with initial plans for the show to face instant cancelation following the regime change from Warner Bros. to Nexstar. However, the show’s popularity made itone of just a handful of CW scripted series that survived the changeover.
Filming for the final season wrapped in April 2024, with big changes coming in the form of a cut-down cast and theintroduction of new characters. The fourth season is confirmed to be shorter than any previous outing, another side effect of the changing hierarchy at the CW.
The Future of ‘All American’ and ‘Walker’ Is Uncertain
Beyond the announcement ofSuperman & Lois’s inclusion in the CW’s Fall line-up, the other major talking point comes from the decision to omit bothAll AmericanandWalker, two fan-favorite shows, as well as theAll Americanspin-off,All American: Homecoming. With bothWalkerandAll Americanin the middle of their respective current seasons andAll American: Homecomingnot scheduled to premiere until July, executives are likely waiting to gauge the response from fans and critics once they have each finished. Other notable omissions in the realm of unscripted television includePenn & Teller: Fool Us,Masters of Illusion, andWorld’s Funniest Animals, with two new scripted series,Good Cop/Bad CopandSherlock & Daughterstarring the iconicDavid Thewlisin the titular role joining the CW mid-season.
