A critically praised but often overlooked sci-fi drama has quietly arrived on a major streaming platform, offering fans a fresh take on iconic characters. The four-season series 'Superman & Lois' is now available to stream in full on Amazon Prime Video.
A Fresh Take on a Classic Duo
While the cinematic Superman universe captured headlines in summer 2025, a prolific television adaptation has been winning over critics and a dedicated fanbase. The show, which aired from 2021 to 2024, features Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent and Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, reprising their roles from the series 'Supergirl'.
This iteration finds the famous couple in a later chapter of their lives. Tired of the chaos of Metropolis and the pressures of the Daily Planet, they relocate to Smallville to focus on raising their two teenage sons, Jonathan and Jordan. The premise swaps global threats for the challenges of parenthood, though danger is never far away.
Critical Acclaim and Fan Praise
Despite what many perceive as its 'under-the-radar' status, the series boasts impressive critical scores. It holds an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, placing it on par with its predecessor, 'Supergirl'. Perhaps more tellingly, it has earned fervent praise from viewers who discovered it.
In online discussions, fans have expressed surprise that the show didn't garner more mainstream attention. One viewer, David Durman, questioned on a Superman Facebook group: "How did Superman & Lois slip under the radar? It has absurd amounts of production value and is well-written on top of it." Another fan, Derrick Lugo, called it "the best superhero show The CW has ever produced."
The show's run concluded in 2024 after The CW, its US broadcaster, was acquired by Nexstar, leading to widespread cancellations.
Where to Stream and What to Watch Next
All episodes of Superman & Lois are currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. For viewers seeking more binge-worthy sci-fi this winter, other highly-rated options include Netflix's final season of 'Stranger Things', the mind-bending German series 'Dark', and the clone conspiracy thriller 'Orphan Black'.
With its unique family-focused narrative, high production values, and strong performances, 'Superman & Lois' stands as a compelling entry in the DC television canon, finally getting a chance to be discovered by a wider audience on a major streaming platform.
