The series has since been picked up by TNT. No release date for The Librarians: The Next Chapter has been set as of yet.

What Can Fans Expect in the Final Season of Superman & Lois?
The CW’s programming schedule isn’t the only thing that has seen some changes ahead of the fall television season. Superman & Lois will look a little bit different when it arrives for its fourth and final season in October as well. Following the Season 3 finale several casting changes were announced, leaving Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent/Superman), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane), Alex Garfin (Jordan Kent), Michael Bishop (Jonathan Kent), and Michael Cudlitz (Lex Luthor) as the remaining series regulars — Dylan Walsh (Sam Lane), Emmanuelle Chiriqui (Lana Lang), Erik Valdez (Kyle Cushing), Inde Navarette (Sarah Cushing), Wole Parks (John Henry Irons), Tayler Buck (Natalie Irons), and Sofia Hasmik (Chrissy Beppo) were all moved to recurring roles. The series has also added Douglas Smith as Jimmy Olsen with the series spending at least some time in Metropolis in the final season. The Flash’s Tom Cavanagh will also appear in the final season in a mystery role. The final season of Superman & Lois will also have just 10 episodes.
“I have watched nine of the 10 episodes and [they are] f–king awesome,” The CW’s President of Entertainment Brad Schwartz revealed in a previous interview. “It is weekly event television. Greg Berlanti and the producers have constructed 10 bangers. They really go for it. I’ve cried twice watching [the first nine episodes], and I haven’t even gotten to the finale yet. It’s Emmy-worthy. And, by the way, you can watch this final season without having watched the previous [seasons] and still be emotionally invested in what is happening. It’s a wonderful, 10-episode, contained arc.”
Superman & Lois Season 4 will premiere on Monday, October 7th at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
