The CW has released promotional photos for the second episode of Superman & Lois Season 4. The episode is called “A World Without” and we can probably surmise from the latest trailer that it’s about a world without Superman. Returning cast members making their first Season 4 appearances in this episode include Emmanuelle Chriqui and Inde Navarrette. Here’s how the episode is described; look for it to air October 7 right after the season premiere! See more Season 4 photos here.

TWO-HOUR PREMIERE EVENT – PART TWO – Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and Sarah (Inde Navarrette) join the fight against Luthor (Michael Cudlitz), who starts making moves in Smallville. Jordan (Alex Garfin) and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) butt heads over an important decision. Sudz Sutherland directed the episode written by Katie Aldrin & Kristi Korzec (#402). Original airdate 10/7/2024.

Season four of SUPERMAN & LOIS picks up right where last season left off: with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Luthor’s monster locked in a ferocious, moon-wrecking battle, as Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) fights for his life against the seemingly unstoppable creature. Back on the ground, General Lane (guest star Dylan Walsh) struggles to stay alive after being kidnapped by Luthor’s henchmen, while Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch), Jordan (Alex Garfin), and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) race against time to rescue him. But standing in their way is Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz) himself, who has permanently moved to Smallville as the next step in his malicious plan to destroy Lois Lane. Meanwhile, Lana Lang (guest star Emanuelle Chriqui) uses her position as Mayor to fight back against Luthor’s schemes, a move which puts her in the sights of the most dangerous man in the world and threatens everything she holds dear. This includes her relationship with John Henry Irons (guest star Wolé Parks), who must put his Ironworks plans on hold and rejoin the DOD, now that General Lane is missing. But they aren’t the only duo in trouble, as Chrissy Beppo (guest star Sofia Hasmik) and Kyle Cushing (guest star Eric Valdez) face an uphill battle of their own, with countless roadblocks that threaten to ruin their future together. Amid all the chaos, Sarah Cortez (guest star Inde Navarette) and Natalie Irons (guest star Tayler Buck) also join the fight against Luthor, while both facing impossible decisions about their paths in life. And as Clark’s battle with the terrifying monster continues, Lois, her boys, and the world must face an unthinkable possibility: what if Superman never returns?

SUPERMAN & LOIS stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent, and Michael Cudlitz as Lex Luthor.

A few months ago, Elizabeth “Bitsie” Tulloch who plays Lois Lane on Superman & Lois had mentioned that an acclaimed series would be taking over the Superman & Lois Smallville street sets… now, thanks to Hollywood North Buzz and Paul Orazietti (@Paradeguy on Twitter/X), we know which series it is: The HBO Original series The Last of Us starring Pedro Pascal!

The Superman & Lois streets have already been turned into a wasteland as seen in the photos below. The theater is still the “Sequoia” which is pretty cool, though! In real life this “town” is near Cloverdale in Vancouver, British Columbia… only blocks from the “downtown” street seen with such locations as the Talon on The WB/CW’s Smallville.

Of course, we still have ten episodes of seeing it as Smallville in Superman & Lois Season 4. The fourth and final season will launch with two back to back episodes October 17 on The CW. But after that… wasteland! You can see some photos in Paradeguy’s tweet below:

Superman & Lois Season 4 will star Bitsie Tulloch as Lois Lane, Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent, and Michael Cudlitz as Lex Luthor. While several actors who used to be series regulars will now just be guest stars, all of them are expected to come back during the fourth and final season.
