‘My Adventures With Superman’ Is in Limbo as DC Studios Shifts Focus to Green Lantern

Since its 2023 premiere, ‘My Adventures With Superman’ has built a loyal following with its anime-inspired take on the Man of Steel. Developed by Jake Wyatt, Brendan Clogher and Josie Campbell, the animated series is a coming-of-age story about Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen balancing superhero chaos with their work at the Daily Planet.

Season 3 premiered on June 14 and wrapped in mid-August, with ‘The Boys’ star Jack Quaid once again voicing Clark. The season also brought in Kiana Madeira’s Supergirl as a main character and planted the seeds for a spinoff. Since then, fans have been waiting to hear whether Clark, Lois and Jimmy will be back.

Now DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran has given an update, though it’s not the one fans were hoping for. Asked about the show’s status ahead of ‘Clayface’, Safran told Collider that the series is “up in the air right now,” explaining, “That team is doing My Adventures with Green Lantern for us.”

Safran stopped short of calling the show cancelled, but he also didn’t confirm more episodes or give a timeline for a decision. For now, Season 4 has no official status, and the creative team behind the Superman series is focused on its next DC project.

This isn’t the first time the show’s future has seemed shaky. During the Annecy International Animation Film Festival this summer, Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen said the network didn’t yet know whether a fourth season would happen. He explained that the series began before Gunn and Safran took over DC Studios, so the decision would depend on them.

That history is part of what makes the situation complicated. ‘My Adventures With Superman’ has gone through several different eras at Warner Bros., and it wasn’t originally part of the slate Gunn and Safran built for the new DC Universe.

The good news for fans is that the world of the show isn’t going away. DC Studios first announced ‘My Adventures With Green Lantern’ in February 2025, alongside ‘DC Super Powers’ and ‘Starfire’, as part of a slate of younger-skewing animated series.

Jake Wyatt is the spinoff’s executive producer, with Stephanie Gonzaga as co-executive producer. The series follows high school student Jessica Cruz, whose life is turned upside down when a Green Lantern Power Ring falls from the sky and chooses her as its champion.

Fans have already met Jessica. She was introduced in Season 3’s ‘Mobile Suit Toyman’ episode as an ordinary teenager who idolizes Supergirl. ‘Moana’ star Auli’i Cravalho voices the character, and a look at the series shared at Annecy suggested Jessica’s transformation will draw heavily on magical girl anime.

Since both shows share a universe and a creative team, the natural question is whether any familiar faces will cross over. When asked whether characters from ‘My Adventures With Superman’ might appear in the spinoff, Safran said he didn’t believe so for the first season.

He was more open to the idea down the line, simply agreeing that an appearance could happen in later seasons. No crossover plans or specific characters have been confirmed. For longtime viewers, that’s a bittersweet mix. The ‘My Adventures’ franchise is clearly growing, but the show that started it all is now waiting on the sidelines while its creators bring Green Lantern to life.

Until DC Studios makes a final call, fans can only hope the success of ‘My Adventures With Green Lantern’ leads back to Metropolis. A spinoff thriving could be the strongest argument for Clark, Lois and Jimmy getting another chapter.
