Superman & Lois was renewed for Season 4 earlier this week, but like the other shows returning to The CW for the next TV season, it won’t be immune from budget cuts. In addition to Season 4 being comprised of just 10 episodes, the leading lineup of characters is being significantly trimmed down. Dylan Walsh, who plays Sam Lane, was the first to go, and now six more actors have been cut from the main cast.
Emmanuelle Chriqui, Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Wolé Parks, Tayler Buck and Sofia Hasmik have all been axed as series regulars. Of these actors, Chriqui’s Lana Lang, Valdez’s Kyle Cushing, Navarrette’s Sarah Cortez and Parks’s John Henry Irons had been part of the Superman & Lois main cast since the beginning with Walsh, while Buck’s Natalie Irons and Hasmik’s Chrissy Beppo started out in recurring/guest capacities. On that note, Deadline reports that there’s “hope” for these actors to recur or guest star in Season 4, “subject to interest on their part and availability.”
