Superman & Lois' fourth and final season has an official premiere date on The CW.

Fans in the US will be treated to a two-hour premiere on Thursday, October 17, TVLine reports. Sophie Turner's jewel thief drama Joan is also planned for earlier that month, on October 2.

However, those in the UK will have to wait a little longer for Clark Kent and Lois Lane's return.

The final season will see Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) face off against Lex Luthor, who is played by The Walking Dead's Michael Cudlitz.

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Big Little Lies star Douglas Smith would be playing classic DC character Jimmy Olsen.

The official description for Jimmy reads: "Despite being work colleagues with Clark, he's been unable to get him out of his 'awkward' shell. Unaware of Clark's super-secret, Jimmy's still determined to become his pal."

Season four will also star Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent and Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent, with Yvonne Chapman joining the cast as Lex's ally Amanda McCoy. In the comics, Amanda was a LexCorp employee who discovered Superman's identity.

The fate of Superman & Lois was confirmed back in November.

The CW Network's president of entertainment Brad Schwartz said at the time: "We are grateful for the years of hard work and graceful storytelling from the show's writers, producers, actors and crew, as well as our terrific partners at Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions.

"As Superman embarks on his final flight, the team is leaving us with an absolutely epic 10-episode must-watch-every-minute farewell to one of the most legendary CW families ever."

Superman & Lois airs on The CW in the US, and on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
