Superman and Lois season 3 usually airs new episodes on The CW on Tuesday nights. Will a new episode air this week?

Superman and Lois never misses a beat, and that was clearer than ever in last week’s incredible episode. Lois and Clark now know that Peia is married to Bruno Mannheim, but in this episode, they discovered that she was also the assassin named Onomatopoeia who has been killing people such as the original John Henry Irons and Smallville’s former Mayor George Dean.

The rivalry between Bruno and the show’s primary John Henry Irons almost escalated into deadly territory but Superman was able to prevent that from happening. When Peia’s scream rendered her in need of medical attention, the Man of Steel took her to the DOD for monitoring. And as all of this was going down, Lois discovered that Peia was responsible for framing Lex Luthor.

Tensions on Superman and Lois have never been higher, but what will happen in the next installment? And, perhaps more importantly, when can fans of The CW series expect it to air next?

Is Superman and Lois new tonight, May 16?

Sadly, Superman and Lois season 3 won’t be airing a new episode tonight. Tuesdays remain its regular airing night, but the show has taken another brief hiatus from the network.

While the first two seasons took lengthy breaks throughout their run, you’ll be glad to know that this is not the case here as this is just the second of three one-week hiatuses that the show is taking. As a result, its return is imminent.

When does Superman and Lois return to The CW?

Superman and Lois will return to The CW with new episodes next Tuesday, May 23, at 8:00 p.m. ET. “The Dress” is the ninth episode of the season, and it’s set to be another important one.

Lois will once again share scenes with Lana Lang as she discusses her early days of courtship with Clark. She will also find herself worried over her upcoming treatments. Meanwhile,  Clark and John will clash over how to take on Bruno Mannheim. This was teased in the closing moments of the previous episode, as the pair weren’t on the same page about keeping Peia imprisoned in the DOD.

And how does Bizarro fit into all of this? Will he make his presence felt after last week’s shocking cliffhanger?
