Superman and Lois: Jordan Elsass Exits Series for "Personal Reasons"

When The CW's Tyler Hoechlin & Elizabeth Tulloch-starring Superman & Lois returns for a third season, it will do so with a new actor in the role of Jonathan Kent. "Jordan Elsass has notified the Studio that he will not be returning to 'Superman & Lois' for Season 3 due to personal reasons," Warner Bros. Television said in a statement on Tuesday evening. "The role of Jonathan Kent will be recast." While no reason for Elsass's departure is known, sources close to Variety say that it was not a workplace-related issue or incident.

Here's a look back at the Season 2 trailer & overview for The CW's Superman & Lois:

Season two of SUPERMAN & LOIS opens with the dust still settling in Smallville following the shocking outcome of the confrontation between Tal-Rho (Adam Rayner, "Tyrant") and Superman (Tyler Hoechlin, "Teen Wolf"). Smallville's national profile is booming… but something deep below the surface will send shockwaves through the town and may spell the end of everything. At the Smallville Gazette, Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch, "Grimm") and Chrissy Beppo (Sofia Hasmik, "All the Bright Places") are divided when an old story with a personal connection to Lois casts doubt on her professional credibility. The Kent sons also find themselves dealing with change.

Athlete Jonathan (Jordan Elsass, "Little Fires Everywhere") faces new challenges on the football field that will lead him to questionable actions, while Jordan (Alex Garfin, "The Peanuts Movie") and Sarah Cushing's (Inde Navarrette, "Wander Darkly") individual secrets threaten to erode their growing relationship. Her family also deals with new challenges as Lana's (Emmanuelle Chriqui, "Entourage") foray into local politics proves more demanding than she assumed and leaves Kyle (Erik Valdez, "Graceland") concerned that long-buried mistakes could come back to threaten the family. Against all of this, General Samuel Lane (Dylan Walsh, "Nip/Tuck") finds retirement doesn't necessarily make life quieter, while John Henry Irons (Wolé Parks, "All American") and his recently-arrived daughter Natalie (Tayler Buck, "Tyler Perry's Assisted Living") attempt to make this new Earth their home while figuring out their place in the Kents' lives.
