A recent announcement has set the Superman & Lois season 2 release date to January of 2022. This news comes following the show’s first season ending just a few months ago. With production schedules and premiere dates still recovering from Covid-19 pandemic shutdowns, the series’ quick return is testament to its popularity among audiences.

Premiering in February of 2021, the series followed in the footsteps of both the Arrowverse and CW’s original superhero drama, Smallville. Telling the story of Lois Lane and Clark Kent deciding to move their family back to Clark’s hometown, season one revolved around Superman’s estranged brother and his attempts to rebuild Krypton on Earth. All the while, Lois and Clark attempt to give their kids a normal life, which proves even more difficult as their son Jordan begins to develop powers similar to his father.

Thanks to a recent announcement post from the Superman & Lois Twitter account, the news is out that Superman & Lois have set a January 2022 release date for season 2. To be specific, it will release on January 11, 2022, meaning the show will continue to carry Tuesday nights on The CW. With the season 1 finale airing in August of 2021, fans are sure to be surprised when they see the series return after only 4 months on hiatus. Check out the announcement below:

A number of new plot lines were already established during the season 1 finale, including the arrival of John Henry Irons’ daughter, Natalie Irons. Of course, the reunion is complicated by Natalie’s belief that the Lois of this universe is her own lost mother. Meanwhile, Lois has both Natalie and partial ownership of the Smallville Gazette to tackle in season 2, while Lana Lang and her family have decided to stay in Smallville with the show hinting at her running for Mayor at some point.  Lastly, the entire Kent family will likely also be dealing with the repercussions of Sam Lane stepping down from his position in the DOD.

While the positive spin is that production scheduling just happened to work out for Superman & Lois to get the new season out the door, there is some worry that The CW rushed the new season. The popularity of the show with both critics and fans was sure to be a factor, especially as the quality of the Arrowverse shows has slowly been diminishing since the big “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover. Hopefully, Superman & Lois will be able to retain its magic in its sophomore season, as it seems like the creatives still have a lot of big ideas left for the future.
