It's a very sad day for fans of Superman and Lois as, despite the show returning for a third season next year, one of their key actors won't be coming back to the hit superhero series on The CW.

Jordan Elsass, best known for playing Jonathan Kent, has departed the show after two seasons. This decision was made after Elsass did not report back to work by the deadline given to the cast to return to Vancouver where they shoot the series. As a result, his role will ultimately be recast for the upcoming season. There is currently no comment from Elsass on why he chose to exit Superman and Lois, although it's believed to be related to a personal matter.

“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,” Warner Bros. TV said in a statement Tuesday night.
