New Superman TV Series Not Happening
by Neil Cole
Recent rumors of a new Superman television series in development by the CW and featuring actor Tyler Hoechlin in the title role have been proven false.
"No, Superman is not getting his own TV show on the CW," stated Heroic Hollywood founder and Editor-in-chief Umberto Gonzalez via Twitter. "That FandomWire report is inaccurate. He will appear on [the] Arrowverse Elseworlds crossover and that's it. Not a backdoor pilot attempt either."
DC Universe contributor Joshua Lapin-Bertone affirmed Gonzalez' statement in a reply to the initial tweet saying, "I've checked as well. My sources in Warner Bros. confirm that it's not happening."
While a new TV series featuring Superman is not currently on anyone's radar, Hoechlin is set to reprise his role as the Man of Steel on the upcoming Arrowverse crossover event title "Elseworlds" which will begin airing on Sunday, December 9th at 8:00pm ET on the CW.
