How to watch Superman & Lois Season 3 in the UK

The world’s most iconic superhero and Daily Planet reporter have just returned for a third season – but it’s yet to arrive on UK screens.

If you’re keen to watch it straight away, read on to find out how to watch Superman & Lois Season 3 in the UK.

The first episode of Season 3 of Superman & Lois premiered in the US on The CW on 14 March 2023, and episodes will drop on a weekly basis after.

The much-loved show sees our two faves Clark Kent (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) continue to struggle with the pressures of juggling work, raising kids Jordan and Jonathan and, you know, saving the world.

We’re particularly excited about this new series because it will see the introduction of a newly cast Lex Luthor (Michael Kudlitz), who doubtlessly will be up to some nefarious villainy.

The first two seasons of Superman & Lois can be streamed on BBC iPlayer – but it will be a while before Season 3 is available.

And The CW, unfortunately, is ‘geo-restricted’, meaning it’s only available to access in the US.

But if you’re in the UK and you want to watch the latest episodes as soon as they air, we’ve found a way to do it: download a VPN.

How to watch Superman & Lois Season 3 in the UK

VPNs route your internet activity through servers located across the world – they’re perfect for extra levels of online security, but can also (legally) access streaming that’s not available in your region.

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Download a VPN like ExpressVPN or NordVPN to your streaming device.
2. Open the VPN, and select a US-based server.
3. On the same device, head to The CW website, and search for Superman & Lois.
4. Find Season 3 in the episode list, press play, sit back, and enjoy.

We’ve put a number of leading VPNs to the test, which range in budget and features. You can see how they compare in our best VPN service article.

How many episodes are in Season 3 of Superman & Lois?

Compared to the first two seasons of Superman & Lois, Season 3 will be a trimmer affair.

While the first two series of the hit CW show had 15 episodes each, the showrunners have confirmed that the third will have just 13 episodes.

That means the final episode of Season 3 of Superman & Lois will air in the US on Tuesday 6 June.

Who is the villain in Superman & Lois Season 3?

In the latest series of the show, we’re meeting the arguable greatest villain Superman has ever faced: Lex Luthor.

Okay, he may be just a mortal man armed with a diabolical plan, but the power-mad scientist and CEO of LexCorp has offered more than enough challenges for Clark/Kal-El/Superman to face over the years.

Lex is also, definitely, the most recognisable of Superman’s villains, having been played by a range of big stars, including Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey and Jesse Eisenberg.

We’re curious to see how The Walking Dead star Michael Kudlitz takes to the role.
