When Todd Helbing, whos our showrunner, was telling me about the story for the pilot script for Superman & Lois, I got chills, Tulloch said in a previous interview. Its so good, and its so something we havent seen before with them, so I think its going to be great.

I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to tell this story, that for now shall remain a secret. But Ive been blessed with nothing less than the most wonderful people to do it alongside of, Hoechlin said, praising his co-star Tulloch when the series was first announced. All the people behind the scenes care so much about these characters and their lives and the parts to which well be speaking about, it gives me great comfort to know that theyll steer us in the right direction. Thank you to everyone that said yes to this project (Warner Brothers, DC, CW). We wont let you down. Its going to be a grand adventure. Cant wait to get to work!
