Prepare for a deeply emotional finale for the fourth season of “Superman & Lois” as the stars of the DC series hint at the dramatic conclusion. This fall marks the official end of the Arrowverse with “Superman & Lois” being the last series standing from Greg Berlanti’s DC TV universe. The show is set to return on Monday, October 7, with only 10 episodes to wrap up its narrative, making it the shortest season in the series’ history.
In a recent discussion with Entertainment Weekly, Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, and showrunner Brent Fletcher shared insights into “Superman & Lois” season 4, also hinting at the series’ conclusion. Though they expressed sadness over the series ending after just four seasons, they assured fans of a finale that would be both emotionally charged and full of surprises. They shared the following thoughts:
Tyler Hoechlin mentioned, “I didn’t know the actual ending until we were nearly there. Throughout the seasons, we discussed various potential conclusions that we thought would be intriguing. Even halfway through the season, I was still curious about where they were heading. I believe they’ve crafted a poignant ending.”
Brent Fletcher commented, “I don’t think anyone will anticipate the way we’re ending the show. Once it wraps and the credits roll, viewers will be taken aback.”
Elizabeth Tulloch added, “It’s a very emotional episode. There will be closure, and everyone will be in tears by the series’ final episode. I certainly was.”
What This Means for “Superman & Lois” Season 4
It’s important to recall that from the start, “Superman & Lois” has consistently exceeded expectations of a series featuring the Man of Steel and Lois Lane. By focusing on Clark and Lois further along in their lives, including their roles as parents to teenage sons, the show has been free to explore and add new dimensions to the mythology. This is why Fletcher’s remark about delivering a “surprising” series finale is not unexpected, suggesting various possibilities for the show’s conclusion.

Though it’s speculative, it wouldn’t be shocking if the series wraps with Clark choosing to step back from his role as the Man of Tomorrow, possibly allowing Jordan Kent to carry forward his legacy. Since gaining his powers, the series has emphasized Jordan’s development as a hero under his father’s guidance. It would be fitting if the finale sees Clark transitioning to a mentor role for Jordan as the new Superman, gradually stepping into retirement, aligning with Fletcher’s comment, “I don’t think people are going to think we’re ending the show the way that we are.”
In the same interview with Entertainment Weekly, Fletcher confirmed that Arrowverse star Tom Cavanagh will portray a “new character from the DC Universe” rather than a version of Harrison Wells or the Reverse-Flash from “The Flash,” teasing, “I wish we could have had this character for 18 seasons. It was fun.”
With only a few episodes left in its final season, the audience’s reaction to the “Superman & Lois” series finale will soon unfold. Although an exact date hasn’t been announced, it’s expected that the series will conclude its run in either November or December. Meanwhile, DC fans can eagerly anticipate the two-hour premiere of “Superman & Lois” season 4 in less than a month.
“Superman & Lois” season 4 premieres Monday, October 7 on The CW.

Superman & Lois, the seventh Arrowverse spinoff series, will take the titular characters from Metropolis to Smallville.

Superman & Lois sees Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) and Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) dealing with all the pressures of their jobs, along with being parents to two teenage sons. Lois and Clark are no strangers to the Arrowverse, with Hoechlin's Superman having been introduced all the way back in Supergirl season 2. Meanwhile, Tulloch's Lois made her debut in the 2018 "Elseworlds" crossover. The duo is joined by a growing cast of characters that includes a new iteration of Lana Lang.
