Expect a very emotional conclusion toSuperman & Loisseason 4 as theDCstars tease the upcoming series finale. TheArrowverse is officially coming to an endthis fall sinceSuperman & Loisseason 4 is the final series remaining from Greg Berlanti’s DC TV franchise. Set to return on Monday, October 7,Superman & Loisseason 4only has 10 episodes to finish their story, making it the shortest season for the series.
In a new interview withEntertainment Weekly, Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, and showrunner Brent Fletcher spoke aboutSuperman & Loisseason 4 while also teasing the conclusion of the series. While they are all sad to see the series end after only four seasons, the trio promised an extremely emotional and surprising series finale, stating the following:
Tyler Hoechlin: I still didn’t know the actual ending until we got pretty close to it. We had discussed potential endings throughout the various seasons, what we thought would be kind of cool, and even up until about halfway through the season, I was still wondering which direction they were going to go. I think they’ve done a beautiful job of saying something poignant,
Brent Fletcher: I don’t think people are going to think we’re ending the show the way that we are. When it ends and the credits come up, they’re going to be surprised.
Elizabeth Tulloch: [It’s] a very emotional episode. There will be closure, and everyone’s going to be crying in the final episode of the series. I did.
What This Means For Superman & Lois Season 4
Something that is crucial to remember aboutSuperman & Loisfrom its inception is how the creative team has always defied the expectations of being a series based on the Man of Steel and Lois Lane. With this show focusing on Clark and Lois much further in their lives, including being parents to teenage boys,Superman & Loishas always had the freedom to play with the mythology while adding their own layers to it. That is why Fletcher’s comments about giving the audience a"surprising"series finale don’t come as a shock at all, which could mean a number of things for the end ofSuperman & Lois.

The Arrowverse is so far the best example of a shared DC universe in live-action, with several iconic DC heroes and villains from the comics shining.
While it’s simply a theory, it wouldn’t be a shock if theSuperman & Loisseason 4 story ends with Clark making the decision to step away as the Man of Tomorrow and perhaps let Jordan Kent start taking over his legacy. Since he got his powers,Superman & Loishas gone to great lengths to have Jordan step up as a hero and learn from his father. It will make perfect sense if theSuperman & Loisseries finale sees Clark essentially become a mentor to Jordan as the world’s new Superman and slowly begin his own retirement, hence Fletcher’s comment saying,“I don’t think people are going to think we’re ending the show the way that we are.”
In the same interview withEW, Fletcher confirmed thatArrowverse starTom Cavanaghwill be playing a “new character from the DC Universe” rather than a Harrison Wells doppelgänger or the Reverse-Flash fromThe Flash, teasing,“I wish we could have had this character for 18 seasons. It was fun.”
With only a handful of episodes for their final season, time will tell how the general audience responds to theSuperman & Loisseries finale. While a date has yet to be set,Superman & Loisseason 4 will likely wrap up its run sometime in November or December. But for now, the DC audience can look forward to the two-hourSuperman & Loisseason 4 premiere in less than a month.
Superman & Loisseason 4 premieres Monday, October 7 on The CW.
