Superman & Lois Star Elizabeth Tulloch Suffers a Painful "First"

We're sending out healthy vibes to Superman & Lois star Elizabeth Tulloch, who experienced a "first" she could've definitely done without.

When we think of "firsts," we tend to enjoy focusing on the enjoyable ones. In acting terms, it could be the first paid acting role, the first time leading a series, the first time getting a chance to direct – examples like that. Unfortunately, Superman & Lois star Elizabeth Tulloch suffered the kind of "first" no one wants to have happen – and it happened as the team was nearing the end of filming on the Tulloch, Tyler Hoechlin, Michael Bishop, Alex Garfin & Michael Cudlitz-starring Superman & Lois. "Have never broken a bone in my life… first time for everything (it's just a toe but it hurts like a mother***)," Tulloch wrote in the first of two Instagram Stories images of her booted foot – with Tulloch looking at the lighter side of it in her second image. Here's a look – and we're sending seriously positive & healthy vibes her way for a quick & pain-free recovery:

Earlier this year, CW President of Entertainment Brad Schwartz had some news to share during the Television Critics Association Winter Press Event about the fourth & final season of Superman & Lois. Noting that the series return would be "wasted" during the summer, Schwartz confirmed that the series will hit screens for its final run this fall. Teasing that the upcoming season is "going to blow your minds, Schwartz added, "I watched the first episode last night. It will make you cry."

But that wasn't the only bit of news that Schwartz made during the event, also noting that Superman & Lois was going to end with its fourth season no matter how well it did. Why? "They don't want a competing Superman product in the marketplace," Schwartz explained, referencing Warner Bros. Discovery & DC Studios' Superman: Legacy, written and directed by DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn. During a rollout of their short-term & long-term plans for their new DCU in January 2023, Gunn & Co-CEO Peter Safran said that they expect the series to run for "one or two more seasons" – with Gunn adding, "It's a show everybody likes, so it's going to keep going for a little bit."

Heading into the final season, the series faces an abbreviated episode count (10 episodes), reductions to the production's budget & writers' room, and departures of series regulars Dylan Walsh, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Erik Valdez, Inde Navarrette, Wolé Parks, Tayler Buck & Sofia Hasmik (though some are already set to appear recurring or as guest stars). Yvonne Chapman (Kung Fu, Avatar: The Last Airbender) has joined the cast as Amanda McCoy, a trusted ally of Cudlitz's Lex Luthor. CW's Superman & Lois is expected to kick off its final season sometime this fall. Douglas Smith (Big Love, Clarice) has been cast as Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen, an extroverted 20-something known for being the 'life of the party' around the office. Despite being work colleagues with Clark, he's been unable to get him out of his 'awkward' shell. Unaware of Clark's super-secret, Jimmy's still determined to become his pal.
