March 2, 2021 (Burbank, CA) – Following its super-powered debut last week across the network’s linear and streaming platforms, The CW Network today renewed its new hit series SUPERMAN & LOIS for a second season, it was announced today by Mark Pedowitz, Chairman and CEO, The CW Network.

“The phenomenal multiplatform debut of SUPERMAN & LOIS, which delivered for us in a big way on both a linear and streaming basis, is a testament to the creativity, hard work and dedication of the talented people who worked tirelessly in front of and behind the camera, especially in this challenging environment,” said Pedowitz. “We are thrilled to now have two brand-new bonafide hits in SUPERMAN & LOIS and WALKER, both of which have been renewed for next season along with 11 other of our shows, further positioning us for continued strength and stability for next season.”
