DC’s 'Superman' Movie Is to Blame for CW’s 'Superman and Lois' Cancellation


CW president of entertainment Brad Schwartz credited the making of DC’s ‘Superman: Legacy’ for the network’s cancelation of ‘Superman and Lois’

Starring Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch in the titular roles, Superman & Lois premiered in February 2021 and serves as one of four scripted shows continuing on with The CW following Nexstar Media Group’s acquisition of the network in October 2022. Superman & LoisColin Bentley/The CW“I watched the first episode last night, and it’s going to make you cry,” he teased, adding that the premiere was pushed because the series would ultimately be “wasted” in the summer season. Moving forward, The CW will be shifting into more unscripted content, but Schwartz noted that if scripted programs continue to bring in strong ratings at their current cost, then “there’s no reason why you wouldn’t keep doing them.”
