‘Superman & Lois’ in Development on The CW

The home of the DC action hours, The CW, has another one in development. The network is putting together a show centered on one of the comic book world’s most-famous couples, Superman and Lois Lane, starring Tyler Hoechlin as the DC superhero and his alter ego, Clark Kent, and Elizabeth Tulloch as the journalist Lois Lane.  Hoechlin originated the role of the Arrowverse’s Superman/Clark Kent on “Supergirl,” and Tulloch made her debut as Lois in last year’s “Elseworlds” crossover event.

Former “Flash” showrunner Todd Helbing will pen “Superman & Lois” and serve as an executive producer alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns. 

This “Superman & Lois” news comes after the recent news that one of Arrow‘s 10 final-season episodes will serve as a backdoor pilot for a “Green Arrow and the Canaries” spinoff starring Katherine McNamara, Katie Cassidy Rodgers and Juliana Harkavy.
