{{Synopsis|After years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on [[Metropolis (Earth-Prime)|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 Kent|Jonathan]] and [[Jonathan Kent's brother|Jordan]] could inherit their father's [[Kryptonian]] superpowers as they grow older. Returning to [[Smallville (Earth-Prime)|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 Cushing|Sarah]]. Of course, there's never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois' father, General [[Sam Lane|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 [[The Stranger (Earth-Prime)|mysterious stranger]] enters their lives.|http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2020/05/14/the-cw-network-to-launch-its-new-season-in-january-2021-916014/20200514cw01/|show = Superman & Lois}}
