While we have a couple of years until Superman’s return on the big screen, the Man of Steel has still been thriving on TV with Superman & Lois, its final season premiering next year, and the animated series My Adventures with Superman which premiered this summer and has a second season on the way. Now Jack Quaid, who voices Clark Kent/Superman in the series, has given an update on the upcoming season’s development.
My Adventures with Superman follows a young Clark Kent as he becomes Superman in Metropolis while working as an intern alongside Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen at the Daily Planet. As Clark’s powers grow and he uncovers more about his mysterious heritage, Lois tries making her name at the Planet by investigating Superman’s identity while Metropolis is besieged by super-powered villains. At the same time, a dangerous government entity targets Superman for the threat he may pose to the world.
Taking to social media on X (formerly Twitter), Quaid expressed his excitement over the series and revealed most of if not all of the work on season two has been completed. “Couldn’t have been happier with the response to #MyAdventuresWithSuperman. Thank you to everyone who watched it. It was an absolute DREAM to voice this character. We [already] have a season 2 in the can, so get ready for more at some point!”

Quaid is no stranger to comic book properties or animation as he is currently a lead in the animated Star Trek: Lower Decks as Brad Boimler, a role he even acted in live-action in the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and is a lead in Amazon’s adaptation of The Boys. He also provided his voice in the adaptation of Batman: The Long Halloween and had a cameo as an alternate universe Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.
My Adventures with Superman was given a two-season order when it was announced in 2021. The first season consisted of 10 episodes and the second season will have the same amount. As of now there has been no indication of when season two will premiere, but it is likely to aim for a summer 2024 premiere just as the first season did this year.
My Adventures with Superman was developed by Sam Register (Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham), Jake Wyatt (Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus), Brendan Clogher (Voltron: Legendary Defender) and Josie Campbell (Legion of Super-Heroes).
My Adventures with Superman catches up with twenty-somethings Clark Kent, the bright and driven Lois Lane, and their best friend Jimmy Olsen as they begin to discover who they are and everything they can accomplish together as an investigative reporting team at the Daily Planet.
In this serialized coming-of-age story, we follow Clark as he builds his secret Superman identity and embraces his role as the hero of Metropolis – and perhaps the world. Lois, now growing into a star investigative journalist, takes aspiring photographer Jimmy Olsen under her wing. All the while, Clark and Lois are falling in love, sharing adventures, taking down bad guys, stumbling over secrets, and discovering what it means to be Superman and Lois Lane.
My Adventures with Superman stars the voices of Jack Quaid as Superman/Clark Kent, Alice Lee as Lois Lane and Ishmel Sahid as Jimmy Olsen. Also featuring are Darrell Brown as Perry White, Reid Scott as Jonathan Kent, Kari Wahlgren as Martha Kent, Jason Marnocha as Jor-El, Vincent Tong as Steve Lombard, Melanie Minichino as Cat Grant, Jeannie Tirado as Lana Lang, Kiana Madeira as Supergirl, Zehra Fazal as Livewire, David Errigo Jr. as Mister Mxyzptlk, Michael Yurchak as Winslow Schott, Michael Emerson as Brainiac, Jake Green as Parasite, Laila Berzins as Heat Wave, Catherine Taber as Silver Banshee and Chris Parnell as Deathstroke.
