When Will ‘My Adventures With Superman’ Season 3 Premiere On Adult Swim And Max?

My Adventures With Superman Season 2

After 10 awesome episodes, My Adventures With Superman Season 2 is done and over with. But while “My Adventures With Supergirl” wrapped up the, er, adventures pretty neatly, there’s still more to come. So when will My Adventures With Superman Season 3 premiere on Adult Swim and Max?

Full disclosure, no premiere date for the season has been announced yet, particularly as the Season 2 finale just dropped. But given some general knowledge about production schedules, plus the gap between Season 1 and Season 2, we can offer up a fair bit of educated speculation.

So let’s get into it, and break down when My Adventures With Superman Season 3 may premiere.

Will There Be A My Adventures With Superman Season 3?

Yes, there will be a My Adventures With Superman Season 3! The show was announced as picked up for a third season on June 14, 2024, in advance of Warner Bros. Discovery’s appearance at the annual Annecy Animation Festival. And in fact, after this week’s Season 2 finale aired, Toonami posted a teaser card that Season 3 is now in production.

We’ll get more into this in a second, but unlike when the show was initially announced for a two-season pickup, this seems to only be a pickup for Season 3 — not Season 4 as well.

Okay, this is a tricky one to speculate about for a couple of reasons. But I’m going to do my darnedest to figure this out. My Adventures With Superman was initially announced for that two-season order I mentioned on May 19, 2021. At the time, it was slated to premiere on Cartoon Network and HBO Max. But by the time the first season premiered on July 7, 2023, it had moved to Adult Swim and the streamer that had subsequently been renamed Max.

I mention that last part mostly to emphasize that this has been a wildly fluctuating few years for Warner Bros. Discovery, with projects moving all over the place, if not outright canceled. That’s part of the reason that pinpointing what will happen with the show’s third season is so difficult.

The other part that makes it difficult is the production cycle for crafting an animated series is longer than a live-action series. Roughly, it takes about two years from initial genesis to release… Though some like South Park can turn things around in several days. Take a look here at when My Adventures With Superman was picked up, to the release of Season 1. That’s a little over two years, which squares up with what we just mentioned.

Season 2 came out a year after that, on May 26, 2024. But as a reminder the show was picked up for two seasons, and in fact, all the vocal recording was done for both seasons at the same time. I know this because actors Jack Quaid (who plays Superman) and Alice Lee (who plays Lois Lane) told me themselves. True story!

So how about Season 3? Well, in an interesting twist, co-showrunner Jake Wyatt told The Showrunner Whisperer podcast (via ComicBook.com) on May 23 that, “[Co-showrunner] Brendan [Clogher] and I have written outlines for 3 and 4. They have been creatively approved. I cannot discuss whether they have been greenlit.”

So what does this mean? What does it meeean? Here’s my best guess, and again, this is a lot of speculation, but I’d venture they’ve been working on Season 3 for a while… And potentially have Season 4 ready to go (at least script-outline-wise). That means as long as vocal work and most importantly the animation is going, we could see My Adventures With Superman Season 3 premiere in 2025. But there’s one other factor to consider.

What Does James Gunn’s Superman Mean For My Adventures With Superman Season 3?

This isn’t news, but James Gunn has taken over DC Studios, along with his producing partner Peter Safran. Additionally, you may also know this, but he wrote and is currently directing a live-action Superman movie, which is scheduled to premiere on July 11, 2025.

Gunn, of note, has been very supportive of “Elseworlds” projects, i.e. those not happening in his burgeoning DCU… Despite what online trolls might want you to think. So he’s not going to shut down My Adventures With Superman Season 3 just because it may come out the same year as his Superman movie.

However, from a marketing perspective having My Adventures With Superman Season 3 debut in May 2025 — which would be my first guess on timing — and then run right up until Superman hits theaters is… Weird. It makes for potentially confusing messaging when so much is at stake for the success of Gunn’s movie.

With that in mind, I’d fully expect that My Adventures With Superman Season 3 may be ready by mid-2025. But I also think it’s a fair guess that Warner Bros. Discovery might kick it to a Fall, or even Winter debut in the same year, to clear the deck for Superman. As a bonus, if that’s correct, it could allow more time to work on a potential Season 4, to allow the show to get back on a yearly schedule.

So I’m going to throw out that My Adventures With Superman Season 3 won’t premiere on Adult Swim and Max until November or December of 2025, to keep it a full three months clear of Superman. That includes time for the theatrical release, as well as for Superman to hit VOD (Video on Demand). Idle speculation there, and maybe My Adventures With Superman Season 3 will hit in May of 2025! We’ll just have to stay tuned to find out.
