Warning: SPOILERS for the Superman & Lois episode “Always My Hero” are ahead! When Superman & Lois was renewed for Season 4 in June 2023, it became clear just days later was needed to happen in order to deliver what ended up being the DC TV show’s final season.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Superman & Lois, season 4, episode 3, "Always My Hero." Superman & Lois didn't take long to bring Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) back from the dead in the final season — but one major character had to sacrifice himself in order for the Man of Steel to return.

The final 10-episode season picks up from the dramatic cliffhanger ending of season 3, which saw Clark battling with Lex Luthor's monstrous creation Doomsday. Said to be a loose adaptation of the Death of Superman comic, early reviews have described the opening episodes of this final run as both "dark" and "heartbreaking."

The last season of “ Superman & Lois ” continues with a new episode on Monday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW. Watch new episodes in the final chapter for free with trials from Fubo and DIRECTV Stream.

Superman & Lois season 4 finally gave me the superpower storyline I had truly given up hope of every appearing in the DC show. Superman & Lois' final season has built on a lot of fan hopes about the series and what could come from its last chapter.
