In the teaser for “Superman & Lois,” Michael Cudlitz speaks as Lex Luther for the final season.

“Superman is dead,” a statement by Lex Luther, portrayed by The Walking Dead Michael Cudlitz, in the latest teaser for the fourth and final season of Superman and Lois series. In the teaser, Luther speaks to an unseen person and adds, “Can we please just enjoy the moment?” You can watch the teaser below.

The official full trailer for season four will premiere on July 7 at the San Diego Comic Con (SDCC).

In 2023, it was announced that Cudlitz had joined Superman & Lois as DC villain Lex Luthor. He would appear in the final two episodes of season three and would appear in the fourth and final 10-episode season, premiering with a 2-hour season debut on October 17 on The CW.

Earlier this year, Cudlitz (now called X) posted a farewell post to Luthor on Twitter, adding that the role was one of the highlights of his career.

Based on the characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster for DC Comics. Superman and Lois was developed by Todd Helbing and Greg Berlanti for The CW. The series premiered in 2021 and begins with Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane returning to Smallville after their lives in Metropolis. They are accompanied by their teenage sons Jonathan and Jordan. The couple juggle their lives as superheroes and famous journalists with all the pressures that come with their careers and parenthood.

Over the course of the three seasons, Superman and Lois encounter many villains. In season 4, Luthor, recently released from prison for a crime he did not commit, seeks revenge. Will Superman survive? Or does the teaser reveal his fate?

Season 4 will see significant cast changes. Chiriqui, Valdez, Navarette, Parks, Buck and Hasmik have been demoted to guest stars and Walsh will not return as Sam Lane in the final season. Hoechlin, Tulloch, Bishop and Garfin remain on the show as series regulars, with Cudlitz added to that list. This season will also introduce Smith as Jimmy Olson.

“We’re excited about what’s in store for our final season and can’t wait for everyone to watch Superman, Lois and all of our heroes face the greatest threat in the series’ history – Lex Luthor.”
