My Adventures with Superman: Superboy Confirmed for Season 3 & More
During Adult Swim's My Adventures with Superman SDCC 2024 panel, it was confirmed that Superboy would be joining the series in Season 3.
Even with the second season having recently wrapped, that doesn't mean that there wasn't some news to break regarding the third season of Adult Swim's Jack Quaid (The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks), Alice Lee (Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) & Ishmael Sahid (Cousins for Life)-starring My Adventures with Superman. During the show's screening panel and presentation at San Diego Comic-Con 2024 (SDCC 2024) earlier today, EPs Jake Wyatt, Josie Campbell, and Brendan Clogher and stars Quaid, Lee, Sahid, and Kiana Madeira were on hand to offer some thoughts on the second season while also dropping some big clues about what's to come.
For example, the "Superman Family" is going to expand in a big way with the addition of Superboy. In addition, some visuals for the third season were shown of some of the "big bads" – including Amanda Waller, a now-blad Lex Luthor, (what appears to be) Cyborg Superman, Mxyzptlk, and (possibly) General Zod. On the production side, the creative team learned back in February that a third season was getting the go-ahead – with voice recording on the first episode complete and approximately 4-1/2 of the season's episodes written. Here's a look at Superboy, courtesy of DC Film News:
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) and based on the popular DC characters, the serialized coming-of-age story catches up with twenty-somethings Clark Kent, the bright and driven Lois Lane, and their best friend Jimmy Olsen as they begin to discover who they are and everything they can accomplish together as an investigative reporting team at the Daily Planet.
Viewers will follow Clark as he builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the hero of Metropolis – and perhaps the world. Lois, now growing into a star investigative journalist, takes aspiring photographer Jimmy Olsen under her wing. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love, sharing adventures, taking down bad guys, stumbling over secrets, and discovering what it means to be Superman and Lois Lane.
In the latest season, the three best friends face a host of new threats. Powerful foes will emerge from Clark's alien past, Amanda Waller will take aim at Superman, Lois will grapple with the future, and Jimmy Olsen will spend an unbelievable amount of money. Krypton is coming for our young heroes, and its arrival will test their strength, loyalty, and love like never before.
My Adventures with Superman is produced by Warner Bros. Animation. Sam Register (Teen Titans Go!) serves as executive producer. Jake Wyatt (Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus) and Brendan Clogher (Voltron: Legendary Defender) are on board as co-executive producers, and Josie Campbell (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) as co-producer.
