The CW has updated their Fall premiere schedule which will now see the fourth and final season of "Superman & Lois" debut with a special two-hour premiere event on Monday, October 7th at 8:00pm (ET/PT).
Originally scheduled to premiere on Thursday, October 17th, the fourth and final season will center around the aftermath of Superman's death as a result of his battle with the series' version of Doomsday (a mutated form of Bizarro thanks to Lex Luthor) which was featured in the Season 3 finale, "What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger".
The final season will feature 10 episodes and conclude at the end of the season. Also, due to drastic budget cuts, only four series regulars will be returning including Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth "Bitsie" Tulloch as Lois Lane, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, and Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent.
It was announced earlier this year that actors Yvonne Chapman ("Kung Fu", "Avatar: The Last Airbender") and Douglas Smith ("Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters", "Terminator Genisys") will be joining the cast in the respective roles of Amanda McCoy and Jimmy Olsen.
Actor Michael Cudlitz is also expected to return as the iconic DC Comics villain Lex Luthor although it is currently unknown how large of a role he will have in the overall Season 4 storyline.
