Those who were worried the upcoming third season of Superman & Lois could be the last had some at least slightly encouraging news today in the wake of new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran’s announcements which include a new Superman movie in 2025.
Variety reports that when asked about the future of Superman & Lois, the show has “one or two more seasons lefen
“It’s a show everybody likes, so it’s going to keep going for a little bit,” James Gunn said.
With The CW (now owned by Nexstar) seemingly only renewing three series for the 2023-2024 TV season, fans have been [understandably] worried about the show’s future. If Gunn and Safran are good with the TV franchise continuing (for now), the next hurdle will be convincing The CW the show can be kept. (The audience watching the show live for good ratings will certainly help… not something said by the new DC heads, but editorializing from this website.) No announcement has been made yet for Season 4 and beyond; in the past, shows like Superboy and Lois & Clark went only four seasons while something like Smallville – the longest-running Super-series – went for 10.
Superman & Lois Season 3 premieres March 14 on The CW.

That's one half of the problem solved from James Gunn. Now just need to get confirmation from CW.
If the quality and stories continue to be as great as they are, I would hope the show would go on beyond "only one or two more seasons."
