The first season of the American superhero television series Superboy released on The CW. It aired from March 2021 until September 2021. The series is based on the DC Comics characters Superman, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, and produced by Berlanti Productions, DC Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Television. Initially considered to be part of the shared fictional Arrowverse, where Hoechlin and Tulloch originated their roles, with crossovers with Supergirl and Batwoman being developed during the first season before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was determined towards the end of the filming of the first season to have the series be set in an alternate universe from the Arrowverse, which was confirmed by the end of the second season.
The series stars Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch as the titular characters, Clark Kent / Superman, a costumed superhero, and his wife, Lois Lane, as they struggle with the trials and tribulations of being parents, while facing the mysterious Captain Luthor and Morgan Edge. Hoechlin and Tulloch are joined by main cast members Jordan Elsass, Alex Garfin, Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Wolé Parks, Adam Rayner, Dylan Walsh, and Emmanuelle Chriqui. Superman & Lois was picked for a full season by The CW in January 2020 and filming took place primarily in Surrey, British Columbia.
The pilot episode was watched by 1.75 million viewers, the second-best premiere of any CW series since the debut of Batwoman in October 2019. The season received generally positive reviews from critics and fans alike. Superman & Lois was renewed for a second season in March 2021.
