CW’s series Superman & Lois is preparing for its grand finale this fall. For three seasons, fans have watched Clark Kent and Lois Lane balance their heroic duties. They’ve raised their teenage sons, Jordan and Jon Kent. This beloved show has brought iconic comic book characters to life.
The upcoming season will be a shorter one, with just 10 episodes. During San Diego Comic-Con 2024, the show’s creators and stars shared some thrilling news. One of the biggest reveals was about Tom Cavanagh’s mysterious role in the final season.
Tom Cavanagh’s mystery role
One of the biggest surprises revealed at SDCC 2024 was the inclusion of The Flash's Tom Cavanagh in Superman & Lois. Initially, reports were suggesting that he would appear in the series finale. But the cast and crew have clarified that this is not the case. Elizabeth Tulloch said, “There’s a different surprise guest cameo” in the season finale.
Showrunners Brent Fletcher and Todd Helbing clarified that Cavanagh’s role is more substantial. He will appear throughout the season. This last season will be emotional and full of action, giving a fitting goodbye to the beloved characters.

Season 4 trailer and teases
The Season 4 trailer for Superman & Lois, released at Comic-Con, teases a dramatic and emotional story. The Kents are coping with Clark's loss, and Jordan feels ready to take his father's place. The trailer also shows glimpses of Doomsday, who returns after last season’s battle.
Helbing shared that apart from Cavanagh’s cameo there are other cameos too. “There are a lot of cameos, more than any other season I would say, this year. But that came out because it's a character in the comics and I mean it's like somebody met Tom Cavanagh, went back in time, created this character, and then was like, 'Hey, you guys should cast this guy.' You know, like that. It was the easiest casting of all time,” he added.
