SUPERMAN & LOIS

NEW SATURDAY / BBC1 / 5.40PM / EP 1 of 15 / DRAMA

We usually see Superman leaping tall buildings in a single bound, but it’s a very different Man of Steel in BBC1’s glossy US import Superman & Lois.

The 15-part drama stars Tyler Hoechlin as secret superhero Clark Kent, who is married to award-winning journalist Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch). Together, they are raising their twin teenage sons – the popular and sporty Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) and anxious loner Jordan (Alex Garfin) – who are unaware of their dad’s superpowers.

When Clark loses his job at the Daily Planet and his mother dies on the same day, he returns to Smallville to take over the struggling family farm – only to discover that his once-thriving hometown has been devastated by an economic recession.

‘What I love about Superman & Lois is that it’s a family show that just happens to have Superman in it,’ says Tyler, 34, who first played the role in Supergirl before appearing in other series in the Arrowverse TV franchise.
