Superman & Lois Showrunner, Chriqui Preview S03E03

We’re only two episodes into the third season, and The CW’s Elizabeth Tulloch & Tyler Hoechlin-starring Superman & Lois has already delivered viewers a number of interesting twists and turns. But with all due respect to the other storylines in play, it was Lois’s (Tulloch) heartbreakingly all-too-real reveal of her cancer diagnosis to Clark (Hoechlin), Jordan (Alex Garfin), and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) that’s been grabbing the most attention. Now, series star Emmanuelle Chriqui (Lana) and showrunner Todd Helbing are checking in to discuss what we can expect from S03E03 “In Cold Blood” – an episode that finds Lana having to deal with her own shifting family dynamics with Sarah (Inde Navarette) and Kyle (Erik Valdez).

So check out what Chriqui & Helbing had to share about this week’s chapter, followed by a look back at the past two episodes and then a look ahead at what’s to come:

Here’s a look back at what Helbing & EP Brent Fletcher had to share about what we’ve seen so far from the season’s first two episodes, followed by a look at what’s ahead with the next three episodes of The CW’s Superman & Lois Season 3:

Superman & Lois Season 3: S03E03, S03E04 & S03E05 Previews

The CW’s Superman & Lois Season 3 opens weeks after Superman’s blowout defeat of Ally Allston. Clark (Hoechlin) and Lois (Tulloch) are now working at the Smallville Gazette together and enjoying small-town life. But the Kents’ romantic bliss only shines a light on how isolating “the secret” can be as Chrissy (Sofia Hasmik) struggles to balance a new love interest and her friendship with Lois. However, Lois’ own work-life balance is put to the test when an undercover assignment reveals a deadly foe that promises to change the Kent family forever. Superman would move heaven and earth for his family, but with a villain this merciless, even that might not be enough.

Meanwhile, the Kent boys find themselves being pulled in opposite directions as Jordan (Alex Garfin) discovers what a superhero identity really means and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) searches for a purpose beyond the football field. Amid all this upheaval, John Henry (Wolé Parks) is haunted by his doppelgänger’s past, leading to dangerous consequences for him and Natalie (Tayler Buck). Lana Lang (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and Kyle (Erik Valdez) redefine their family post-separation, while Sarah (Inde Navarrette) explores what the future holds for her and Jordan now that she knows the truth about his powers. Having learned the hard way that no one else can be trusted to work with Superman, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh) reclaims his post at the Department of Defense, only to face his own conflict in working with his grandson, Jordan.
