Superman & Lois: Michael Bishop Is The New Jonathan Kent

Superman & Lois has found their new “Jonathan Kent” in Australian actor Michael Bishop. Sometimes credited in the past as Michael Fryer, Bishop is probably best known for the Disney Channel Original Movie Spin.

Bishop replaces Jordan Elsass who will not be returning for the show’s third season. Superman & Lois Season 3 begins shooting this week and is scheduled to premiere in early 2023. There’s no word yet if the change in appearance will be addressed on the show, or if we are to just roll with a new face for Jonathan.

Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent, Alexander Garfin as Jordan Kent, Erik Valdez as Kyle Cushing, Inde Navarrette as Sarah Cushing, Wolé Parks as John Henry Irons, Sofia Hasmik as Chrissy Beppo, Tayler Buck as Natalie Irons, with Dylan Walsh as General Samuel Lane and Emmanuelle Chriqui as Lana Lang Cushing.
