Yesterday, The CW announced that Superman & Lois was renewed for Season 4, joining fellow returning scripted programming Walker, All American and All American: Homecoming. However, the now-Nexstar-owned channel is implementing various budgets cuts in order to achieve profitability, so Superman & Lois will naturally be impacted by this. In addition to Season 4 being comprised of just 10 episodes, it had also been reported prior to the renewal that its main cast would likely be trimmed down, and now the first of these major character shakeups has been revealed, with Dylan Walsh’s Sam Lane departing the lineup.
Sam, father of Elizabeth Tulloch’s Lois Lane and director of the Department of Defense, has been part of Superman & Lois since the show launched in 2021. Sadly, Walsh’s wife, Leslie Borque Walsh shared on Instagram that her husband’s character was “cut due to budget.” Leslie revealed this information while congratulating the “families of S&L for finally getting the update of their fate.” Walsh is also known from shows like Nip/Tuck, Unforgettable and Blue Bloods.
