Superman and Lois season 3 is on its way to The CW and it may have a release window now. Here is the latest on the show.
It has been almost six months since Superman and Lois aired its season 2 finale and bowed out for the summer. During the time since, fans have been wondering about its future.
The show has been renewed for a third season, which is currently in production, so there is no need to worry about its immediate future. However, with Nexstar’s purchase of The CW now complete (and all the cancellations that came before and after it), there is a continued sense of uncertainty surrounding its current slate of programming.
Right now, though, fans just want to know when Superman and Lois will return with new episodes.
When does Superman and Lois season 3 come out on The CW?
Superman and Lois season 3 is happening, so if you had any doubts about that put those out of your head. The show was renewed by The CW last March and will return to the network in 2023.
A more specific release window has yet to be announced, but the network has been putting its midseason schedule together this month, confirming when the currently-airing shows will return as well as the premiere date for The Flash‘s final season.
A potentially exciting update lies in new series The Winchesters‘ new timeslot. The show currently holds Superman and Lois‘ timeslot on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET. but when it returns next year, it will move to the 9:00 p.m. ET timeslot. While a Winchesters rerun holds the 8 pm slot on the date the show returns (January 24), what show could be moving into it going forward?
With that in mind (and the fact that The Flash season 9 premieres on February), don’t be surprised if Superman and Lois season 3 premieres in late January/early February time and returns to its Tuesday night timeslot.
Of course this slot could go to another show instead so it’s best to wait for an official announcement from The CW, but since Superman and Lois is always a strong performer in that timeslot, it wouldn’t make sense for the network to move it. Here’s hoping this prediction is correct!
