Say it isn’t so! Recasting isn’t an uncommon occurrence on television, but whether for reasons good or bad, it stings all the same. The latest recast announcement came this evening via Deadline, where they announced that Jordan Elsass would not be returning to his role of Jonathan Kent on the CW’s Superman and Lois.

Not much is known about the reason Elsass departed from the show, other than personal reasons. The series producer Warner Bros. TV released a short statement about Elsass’ departure, stating that “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.” Elsass has not commented on the matter, and no other information about Elsass or the recast is known at this time.

While the news is absolutely disappointing, we wish Elsass nothing but the best and hope that the actor replacing him will live up to the wonderfully high bar he has set for Jonathan Kent. Let us know your thoughts below and in our forum! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter for breaking news!
