Superman & Lois General News & Discussion Thread (TAG SPOILERS!)

[tahlmorra20]

Since Superman and Lois and Gotham Knights' season finales will air next month, I think CW will wait for them to finish their run so they can see which shows to renew and/ or cancel.

We'll know by the end of the week or next week the latest. The upfronts where they present the falls schedule are schedules for next week so be prepared for a mass cancellations

I know. If Superman and Lois can have one more season in the midst this, I can accept.

Last night's episode drew 560K.

I don't mind a late season as long as we get one. Better that than to halt mid-way through one.

The culling at the CW continues...

‘The Winchesters’ Canceled By The CW After One Season, Will Be Shopped – Deadline
‘Kung Fu’ Canceled After 3 Seasons At CW – Deadline

Still pending: All American: Homecoming, Gotham Knights and Superman & Lois.

Deadline

Remaining in limbo are Superman & Lois and All American: Homecoming, which are believed to have the best chance (however small it may be), followed by Gotham Knights.

Variety

The shows “All American: Homecoming,” “Superman & Lois,” and “Gotham Knights” are still awaiting word on their fates, though none are expected to continue at this time.

They may as well cancel it and send it to MAX for one more season.

MAX ain’t picking it up. If it’s canceled by CW, it’s done.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I still think CW will give it a final season, but WB will have to significantly lower the cost per episode.

EDIT:

Yeah... bring the price down and Superman & Lois will be back for season 4 in 2024.

Sources tell THR the network will likely opt to bring only one of the two DC shows back. Superman & Lois has the bigger audience — it’s averaging 1.2 million viewers over seven days to about 675,000 for Gotham Knights — but is also considerably pricier. Gotham Knights is the least expensive DC series The CW has ever aired, sources say.

If the only way to bring the show back is by cutting the budget, I would prefer that they cancel it instead.

This scenario during a writer’s strike is the worst timing, unfortunately.

Not me. A shortened final season would do the trick just fine, imo.

Would you still be okay with a shortened season if the show's production value (e g., cinematography, sets, visuals) were downgraded to that of the Flash's?

Shorter season with same production values = Lower budget. Your scenario is not necessary, and regardless, the show would NEVER look like The Flash, because they have an entirely different Show Bible. Different cinematography techniques, production design, etc. The show's different look is NOT because of the budget, and never was. They'd just have fewer "spectacle" scenes. Which I think this season has already proven they don't need so many of those anyway.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Plus, character and story are king for me... if we have to sacrifice some flashy CGI or battle scenes for one final season, so be it.

 

[Sithborg]

As someone who prefers the Kent stuff vs the Superman stuff, I'm fine with a lower budget.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I'm ready to fight.

 

[squeekness]

Bad news all around. I like the show as is.

All of this.

Then again I like the Flash.

I will probably check out the final season, but the writing had gotten so bad on that show.

 

[Iceman]

The non-Superman stuff is the main strength of this show so I don’t mind a budget cut in this case or a shortened season or both. I just want a definitive ending whether it be the end of season 3 and they covered themselves well just in case or season 4. Obviously would take the season 4 option just to get more but I’d settle for a good ending wherever it comes.

According to Fobes, Superman & Lois may move to HBO Max if the CW cancels it.

I have no problem with this. I want the show to continue.

Should the show get picked up by HBO Max instead, I hope that means it'll get a bigger budget as well.
