Who is this new enemy whose giant hand we only see at the very end of the first episode? We obviously think of Doomsday, well known to fans of DC comics. But to be sure, we will have to wait a little longer since the answer should not be given to us before episode 3, broadcast next week, according to the statements of showrunner Todd Helbing at the microphone of TVLine.
But these new episodes of Superman & Lois will also be marked by tension between Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) and Chrissy (Sofia Hasmik) at the Smallville Gazette over an old story with a personal connection to Lois. But also by the complicated foray of Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) into local politics, and by the anything but idyllic reunion between Jordan (Alex Garfin) and Sarah (Inde Navarrette), after a summer spent far from each other. .
Ian Bohen and Jenna Dewan join the series
Teen Wolf fans won’t want to miss season 2 of Superman & Lois as Ian Bohen, who played the uncle of Tyler Hoechlin’s character on the MTV teen series, joins the cast and reunites with his former acting partner.
Ian Bohen plays Mitch Anderson, the new Lieutenant General of the Department of Defense (DOD), who succeeds Sam Lane (Dylan Walsh), who has retired, and who resents that Superman operates outside the lines and seems determined to do without his services by setting up an “army” of super warriors capable of helping the population.

Anderson will not be the only new face of this second season since Mariana Klaveno (Stalker, Devious Maids) will lend her features to Lara Lor-Van, the biological mother of Clark and Tal Rho, while Jenna Dewan (Sexy Dance , The Resident) will resume her role as Lucy Lane, which she had held in season 1 of Supergirl, when Lois gets it into her head to find her sister in episode 4.
In short, expect some complicated family reunions in the sequel to Superman & Lois on Salto.
