Offering a glimpse of the dramatic conclusion of the beloved DC TV show, the CW has unveiled the first teaser for the forthcoming final season of Superman & Lois. Set to premiere this fall, season 4 will be the last one Greg Berlanti's DC Comics series releases, so ending a long-running era for The CW. While Superman & Lois season 4, which ends filming in April, wraps up the entire franchise as it unfolds on an other Earth, The Flash season 9 concluded the Earth-Prime continuity of the Arrowverse.
Whether season 4 will follow DC Comics' legendary "The Death Of Superman" plot is much under debate. Representing Lois Lane in the show, Bitsie Tulloch has hinted that the season premiere would highlight a "bold decision," so following a well-known comic book arc. Given the season's concentration on Clark's struggle with Doomsday, "The Death of Superman" seems to be the most likely one to be adapted.

Tulloch has also hinted at deaths within Superman & Lois season 4, so confirming the likelihood of adapting "The Death Of Superman." Although the series might only show Clark's death for a brief period given the ten-episode shortened season, a possible time jump could be used to adequately examine the emotional effects of his death.
Unlike the DCEU
Should "The Death of Superman" be the road season 4 chooses, it would be interesting to observe how the adaptation stands against the DCEU's interpretation of the plot. The longer teaser, which will be unveiled during San Diego Comic-Con, is much awaited by fans in order to have more understanding of the season's orientation. The DC TV viewers will shortly learn the fate of Superman & Lois since the last season premiere is scheduled for October 17.
Seventh Arrowverse spinoff series, Superman & Lois deviates from Metropolis to Smallville. The CW series chronicles the events of the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover, whereby the multiverse collapsed and worlds merged into Earth Prime. Superman & Lois emphasizes on Lois Lane ( Elizabeth Tulloch) and Clark Kent ( Tyler Hoechlin) as they negotiate the demands of their professions and their roles as parents to two teenage sons. Hoechlin's Superman debuted in Supergirl season 2, and Tulloch's Lois debuted in the 2018 "Elseworlds" crossover, thus this is not the pair's first appearance in the Arrowverse. The show also boasts a fresh iteration of Lana Lang, so augmenting the expanding cast of characters.
