Jonathan Kent to Be Recast as Jordan Elsass Exits ‘Superman & Lois’ Season 3

Superman & Lois star Jordan Elsass will not be returning as Jonathan Kent in the show’s upcoming third season, Warner Bros. TV revealed on Tuesday night. Elsass has been cast in the series regular role of Jonathan Kent, the son of Clark Kent / Superman (Tyler Hoechlin)  since the shows inception.

Reports indicate that it was set in motion after Elsass did not report back to Vancouver, where Superman & Lois films, by a deadline given by the studio. It is unclear at this point why Elsass is exiting the series, although it is believed to be due to a personal matter,  it is not due to a “workplace-related issue.”

In a statement, a WB TV spokesperson said “Jordan Elsass has notified the Studio that he will not be returning to Superman & Lois for season three due to personal reasons. The role of Jonathan Kent will be recast.”
