Tyler Hoechlin calls Superman and Lois season 4 the show's "strongest season," here's why

As a gamer with over two decades of comic book-inspired video games under my belt, the anticipation for Superman and Lois season 4 is not just highly anticipated, but it’s reaching a level where I might need to upgrade my gaming rig to handle the emotional overload.


It’s not enough to say that Superman and Lois season 4 is eagerly awaited; it’s more like an unquenchable thirst that fans, including myself, have been enduring for over a year now. With Todd Helbing and Brent Fletcher at the helm, we anticipate the conclusion of Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s tale with a mix of sadness and excitement. We know this bittersweet farewell is approaching, as the series is drawing to a close much sooner than expected, having been initially planned for at least seven seasons.

Despite any challenges they faced, Tyler Hoechlin believes they finished strongly, as he stated in an interview with Entertainment Weekly: “We might have managed to deliver our best season yet, considering the restrictions we were under.

Fans are thrilled by his words as the final season promises an expansive narrative spanning the entire year, drawing inspiration from the “Death of Superman” comic series. While this interpretation won’t follow the comic exactly, it will still be an exciting portrayal of the hardships faced by Clark’s loved ones and the world in the aftermath of his death. Fletcher made these remarks during the interview.

We thought it would be impactful, emotional, surprising. It’s important and poignant, and it turns out it’s a great send-off for our hero and our family and these iconic characters that you care about. There are a lot of big surprises in it that are thrilling, but there’s also big emotion.

The series “Superman and Lois” is renowned for its profound emotions, especially in its junior season when Bitsie Tulloch delivered a performance worthy of an Emmy award as she portrayed Lois’ battle with breast cancer.

In this final chapter of the series, we’re asked to envision a world devoid of Superman, focusing particularly on Clark Kent – the spectacled, seemingly bumbling character who puts family above all else, being a father and husband before he is a hero. This lost figure will serve as the central theme throughout the season, while Lois grapples with Lex Luthor’s danger, her own battle against breast cancer, and assisting her children in coping with their father’s loss, as she grieves for her husband. As Tulloch expressed it:

It’s epic. And that throws Lois once again into this situation where she is a heroine and she has to keep her family together. It’s obviously extremely shocking and traumatizing with just the grief, but also how much time do you have to grieve when you have Lex Luthor [Michael Cudlitz] still coming after you, and when Doomsday is still around? Not much. She really needs to step up and be the strong one for her family, which she does.

Fear not if you’re concerned Hoechlin will appear too sporadically in the new season as an annoyance. There are flashbacks and other techniques planned to keep Clark on our screens, especially since we’re all dealing with the repercussions of his passing. In fact, a scene from the opening episode has already been unveiled showing Clark and Lois during their time at the Daily Planet.

Additionally, Hoechlin hinted at a flashback scene involving Dylan Walsh’s character, General Sam Lane, describing the experience as “enjoyable” and admitting that he had a “fantastic time” during filming.

Besides following the Kent-Lane storyline, we’ll also check in on the other characters from the show as their individual stories conclude. With fewer main cast members, we’ll mostly see the Cushings, Ironses, and Chrissy Beppo in a more limited fashion. However, Helbing is confident that viewers will find their appearances in the final season fulfilling.

But when we talked to all the cast members, everybody understood it, and they were still committed to being in as many episodes as we could put them in. It also afforded us [the opportunity] wrap all these storylines up in a really satisfactory way. People get a full meal, so the episodes they were in, they’re part of the storyline in the way that maybe they weren’t the past three seasons, and it’s really satisfying.

Additionally, you might encounter some surprise appearances. So far, only Tom Cavanagh from The Flash, in an unspecified role, has been unveiled. However, Helbing hints at more outstanding characters yet to be disclosed.
