Set on the Arrowverse’s Earth-Prime, the upcoming series will see Clark and Lois returning to life in Metropolis as they try to balance their professional lives, superhero activities and the responsibilities and complexities of raising two sons.
At some point in the series, Clark ends up reconnecting with Lana, whose last name is now Lang-Cushing.
The upcoming superhero drama, which was slated to film the pilot episode, has since been ordered to go straight into production after all pilots were suspended over the COVID-19 pandemic.
