I’m not going to lie, the only thing surprising about this new bit of news is that it took so long to happen.
Yes, The CW fans, plans are officially afoot for a Superman & Lois series starring The Arrowverse’s couple of steel, Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch.
Fans may recall that at the end of last year’s Elseworlds crossover on The CW Superman and Lois left earth to have a child and retire from the stresses of superheroics, leaving Kara – Supergirl – as earth’s only Kryptonian defender.
However, the new series will see ‘the world’s most famous Super Hero and comic books’ most famous journalist [as they] deal with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.’
So with Arrow finishing this season, The CW has more than replaced it with Batwoman now in its first season, Green Arrow and the Canaries just announced and now a Superman and Lois series. You have to hand it to them, they’re not afraid to push the shows.
Here’s what the Arrowverse stars had to say about the news:
I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to tell this story, that for now shall remain a secret. But I’ve been blessed with nothing less than the most wonderful people to do it alongside of. I couldn’t ask… https://t.co/InBZDETb2v

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
