Synopsis

After years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world's most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent and comic books' most famous journalist, Lois Lane, come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever - dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today's society. Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons Jonathan and Jordan could inherit their father's Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older. Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang, a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark's first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing. The adults aren't the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle's rebellious daughter, Sarah. Of course, there's never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois' father, General Samuel Lane looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment's notice. Meanwhile, Superman and Lois' return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when a mysterious stranger enters their lives.[src]

Trivia

• Superman & Lois is an indirect reference to the 1993 television series; Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
  • The unproduced fifth season of Lois & Clark would have been centered on the protagonists raising a child together, which is similar to the Superman & Lois premise.
• Filming for Season 1 began on October 21, 2020.
• The events of Superman & Lois take place on an alternate Earth separate from Earth-Prime in the new multiverse.
  • Superman and Lois was originally developed as a Supergirl spin-off which would've taken place on Earth-Prime as a continuation of Earth-38 Superman and Earth-38 Lois Lane's post-Earth-Prime history. The final part of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover presumably served as the setup. However, those plans including a crossover attempt with Batwoman were scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So the writers decided to place the series on Earth-TUD25 as a fresh start to the live-action superhero shows with Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Jenna Dewan, and David Ramsey playing their respective characters on that Earth while characters like Sam Lane, Jor-El, Phillip Karnowsky, Lara Lor-Van, Lex Luthor, and Jimmy Olsen are played by different actors. In addition, Morgan Edge was used as the human alias for Tal-Rho.
