‘Superman & Lois’ Final Season Moves To New Night As The CW Swaps Monday & Thursday Lineups
The fourth and final season of the CW’s Superman & Lois will debut sooner than expected. The CW has made a change on the network’s fall schedule, with Superman & Lois and new wild west unscripted series The Wranglers moving from Thursday to Monday, swapping nights with the upcoming game shows Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit, which had originally been slated for Mondays.
The move is believed to be in response to ABC creating a 8 PM – 10 PM game show block on Mondays with Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune and Press Your Luck which would’ve gone head-to-head with the CW’s game shows. With Tuesdays and Fridays spoken for with the live WWE NXT and Inside The NFL, the network didn’t have many nights to work with.

With the change, the CW series also are getting new, earlier premiere dates.
The network’s family game night — originally intended for an Oct. 7 bow, will launch on Thursday, Oct. 3 with the series premieres of Scrabble, hosted by Raven-Symoné, followed by Trivial Pursuit, hosted by LeVar Burton.
Season 4 of Superman & Lois, which had not been slated to debut until Oct. 17, will again launch with a two-hour premiere but on Oct. 7. The Wranglers, about the lives of professional cowboys and cowgirls on a Montana dude ranch, will premiere Oct. 14 following an original episode of Superman & Lois. The unscripted show replaced The Librarians: The Next Chapter after the drama moved to TNT.
