Superman and Lois renewed for Season 2

One episode. That's all it took for the CW to renew Superman and Lois for a second season, according to reporting by deadline.

The Pilot features a more mature relationship between Clark and Lois, and introduces their two sons Jordan and Jonathan. Tragedy brings them back to Smallville and forces them to ask difficult questions about what their future looks like.

The ratings were strong, but frankly, its the speed of the renewal, and not the renewal itself, that surprises. The CW cancelled sagging flagship show Arrow, which was followed by Supergirl and Black Lightning. That's a big hole in a primetime lineup, and something needed to fill it.

Superman and Lois' pilot was pretty good; here's hoping the rest of the season flies just as high.
