Some Bad News Just Dropped For Superman & Lois

Getting a new TV series off the ground is a big enough challenge as is. When you factor in an unprecedented global pandemic, this can't be an easy time period for showrunners. Just ask the Superman & Lois team. After having to pause production on the first season, they are now facing some post-production delays, which will force the CW to temporarily cease airing new episodes after episode 5 at the end of March (via Deadline).

Given that five episodes of Superman & Lois will have aired by the time it goes on its temporary hiatus, fans will have had more than enough time to get familiar with the series and its creative approach to the iconic comic book characters. So, it will probably be a bummer to have to press pause just when the show's momentum is ramping up.

The final episode before the hiatus is called "The Best of Smallville," and it will air on March 25 (via Futon Critic). After that, the series will take a break until May 18. In the meantime, the final season of the CW's popular series Supergirl will air in Superman & Lois' Tuesday timeslot.

Seeing the DC heroes do a bit of a switcheroo may not be what Superman & Lois fans expected, but at least the show won't be on break for too long.
