The CW has officially renewed Superman & Lois for season 3, alongside other series, like The Flash, RiverdaleAll American, All American: Homecoming, Kung-FuWalker, and Nancy Drew.

Addressing The CW’s 2022-2023 programming slate, chairman and CEO of the network, Mark Pedowitz, referred to the renewed shows as “the start of a solid foundation” for the network’s future. He also confessed that the renewed shows were some of The CW’s most-streamed and socially-engaged programming.

Superman & Lois Season 3 Plot 

*Spoilers ahead*

Superman & Lois wrapped up the second season with an action-packed finale teasing a character who could be the major villain in the next season.

Diggle’s spontaneous meeting with John Henry Irons (Wole Parks) at Smallville reveals the major villain. Diggle handed Irons a folder full of information about Bruno Mannheim, who is an infamous criminal and may also be responsible for the death of Earth’s version of Irons. he is the leader of Intergang, an organized crime unit that just happens to be supplied with weaponry from the New Gods.

When asked why he decided to make Mannheim the central villain in Superman and Lois season three, showrunner Todd Helbing told Den of Geek: “Every year, at some point, I talk to DC, and there’s a deck that’s created that tells us which are the characters that we can explore. I put in requests [and] there are roads that I can go down, sometimes fully, sometimes half, sometimes not at all. If it’s not at all, then we just come up with a different version of it.”

He added: “Bruno is going to be a huge part of season three and is going to be huge impact on multiple characters. And if you watch season one and season two… there are a lot of pieces in place that could take us to a certain spot.”
