With the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic still causing disruptions in filming for TV shows and movies, Superman & Lois star Elizabeth Tulloch posted pictures from the set showing the crew is doing everything they can to keep things safe amidst production.Tulloch recently tweeted a photo of a traffic cone adorned with Superman's "S" shield and the admonition "STAY 6 FEET APART."
Tulloch provided a second photo, of a sign laminated in plastic. Inside the pentagonal shape, the caption "DO NOT SIT HERE" floats above an "S" shield. Both photos bore the hashtag "#SafetyFirst."
Superman & Lois is being filmed in Surrey, British Columbia, which is standing in for the town of Smallville, where the title characters have settled and are raising their twin sons.
The coronavirus pandemic curtailed filming for several shows on The CW last season. Superman & Lois was supposed to film its pilot in March, but instead got a straight-to-series order for 13 episodes. The Flash began production for Season 7 in October but recently paused filming because a team member tested positive and is currently under quarantine.
Superman & Lois spins off from Tyler Hoechlin's appearances as Superman/Clark Kent on Supergirl and Tulloch's appearances as Lois Lane in the "Elseworlds" and "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossovers with Arrowverse shows The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow.Â
The synopsis for Superman & Lois can be found below.
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 Wolfâ€) and comic books’ most famous journalist, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, “Grimmâ€), 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 Everywhereâ€) and Jordan (Alexander Garfin, “The Peanuts Movieâ€) 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, “Entourageâ€), a local loan officer who also happens to be Clark’s first love, and her Fire Chief husband Kyle Cushing (Erik Valdez, “Gracelandâ€). 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 Darklyâ€). Of course, there’s never a dull moment in the life of a superhero, especially with Lois’ father, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, “Nip/Tuckâ€) 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 a mysterious stranger (Wolé Parks, “All Americanâ€) enters their lives.
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 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
