With the premiere of Superman & Lois just around the corner, The CW has released a synopsis for the newest CWverse show's pilot episode. The premiere will be a two-hour event, with the episode being 90 minutes long and the subsequent Superman & Lois: Legacy of Hope special airing immediately after.

As detailed by the synopsis, after years of dealing with a variety of threats, Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane "come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever" in the form of the problems of being working parents. Adding to the immense task of raising their sons Jonathan and Jordan, Clark and Lois also have to deal with the possibility of whether the boys inherit their father's powers.

Upon returning to Smallville for family business, Clark and Lois reunite with loan officer and Clark's first love Lana Lang and her husband, Fire Chief Kyle Cushing, while Jonathan and Jordan do likewise with "Lana and Kyle’s rebellious daughter, Sarah." However, the Kents' return to Smallville may wind up becoming more adventurous thanks to the arrivals of both "a mysterious stranger and impassioned self-made mogul Morgan Edge."

SUPERMAN & LOIS

“Pilot” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-PG, LV) (HDTV)

SERIES PREMIERE – In SUPERMAN & LOIS, after years of facing megalomaniacal supervillains, monsters wreaking havoc on Metropolis, and alien invaders intent on wiping out the human race, the world’s most famous superhero, The Man of Steel aka Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin, “Teen Wolf”) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, “Grimm”), come face to face with one of their greatest challenges ever - dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being working parents in today’s society.

Complicating the already daunting job of raising two boys, Clark and Lois must also concern themselves with whether or not their sons Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, “Little Fires Everywhere”) and  Jordan (Alexander Garfin, “The Peanuts Movie”) could inherit their father’s Kryptonian superpowers as they grow older.  Returning to Smallville to handle some Kent family business, Clark and Lois are reacquainted with Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui, “Entourage”), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, “Graceland”).

The adults aren’t the only ones rediscovering old friendships in Smallville as the Kent sons are reacquainted with Lana and Kyle’s rebellious daughter, Sarah (Inde Navarrette, “Wander Darkly”).  Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, “Nip/Tuck”) looking for Superman to vanquish a villain or save the day at a moment’s notice.  Meanwhile, Superman and Lois’ return to idyllic Smallville is set to be upended when both a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, “All American”) and impassioned self-made mogul Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner, “Tyrant”) enter their lives. (#101).

The episode was directed by Lee Toland Krieger and Todd Helbing wrote the teleplay for the first episode, based on a story by Greg Berlanti and Todd Helbing. Original airdate 2/23/2021.

Superman & Lois stars Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Dylan Walsh, Alex Garfin, Jordan Elsass, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Inde Navarrette and Wolé Parks. The series premieres Tuesday, Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
