Fans of Superman & Lois can finally celebrate because The CW recently announced that the hit show will receive a fourth season. Developed by Todd Helbing and Greg Berlanti, the show sees a married Clark Kent, aka Superman, residing with his wife Lois Lane and their kids in the fictional town of Smallville.

While the first three seasons have been a hit among fans, there is a catch in the upcoming season.

Season 4 of Superman & Lois will be different as it will consist of only ten episodes. Furthermore, there will even be budget cuts, which means there is a high probability that some of the cast members will not show up in the upcoming season.

Fans on Twitter thought that this was a recipe for disaster as the same happened to The CW's The Flash, and the show's quality drastically deteriorated after budget cuts.

Fans on Twitter skeptical about Superman & Lois season 4 quality

The CW Network's President of Entertainment Brad Falchuk recently announced the renewal of Superman & Lois and All American: Homecoming:

"We are thrilled to bring All American: Homecoming and Superman & Lois back to The CW."

He continued:

"These series are two of our strongest performers across our linear and digital platforms with some of the most passionate fanbases in all of television. We are grateful to our partners at Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions for their continued collaboration, and we cannot wait to get started on the new seasons."

Unfortunately, fans on Twitter are unsure if the superhero show can maintain its quality in the upcoming season. Most are worried that the show will suffer the same way The Flash did. After budget cuts, viewers noticed that the quality of The Flash substantially went down. The biggest giveaway was the sub-par CGI and special effects.

Some, however, are okay with getting just ten episodes, as they claim to have faith in the showrunners. They believe that the budget will be utilized properly and the end product will not be shabby. They even hoped that season 4 would be the final season because anything else would be considered a stretch.
