‘My Adventures With Superman’ Season 3 Episode 3 Release Date and Time: The Title Already Has Fans in a Frenzy
The wait between episodes of ‘My Adventures With Superman‘ is genuinely starting to feel unfair. Season 3 has wasted absolutely no time proving why this show has earned its reputation, and with episode 3 now locked in and ready to go, the excitement around Adult Swim’s beloved anime-inspired DC series is only getting louder.
The new season debuted to a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its premiere, which says everything you need to know about the critical momentum behind this show right now. Whether you’ve been watching since day one or you’re just catching up, this is one of the most talked-about animated series in DC’s current lineup.
Episode 3 Release Date and Time on Adult Swim and HBO Max
Episode 3, titled “All’s Fair in Love and W.O.R.M.S.,” is scheduled to air on June 28 as part of Adult Swim’s Toonami block. New episodes air weekly on Adult Swim on Saturdays at midnight ET/PT, with streaming on Max available the following day.
HBO Max typically releases new episodes at 3:00 am ET or 12:00 am PT, meaning West Coast Max subscribers can catch episode 3 at a far friendlier hour than their East Coast counterparts. If you’ve been keeping pace with the show’s weekly cadence, mark your calendar for the last Saturday of June.
Adult Swim stays the main streaming option for the show, with the Toonami block serving as the primary broadcast home for the series. For international audiences, Max remains the go-to destination, with availability across multiple regions.
What to Expect From “All’s Fair in Love and W.O.R.M.S.”
The official episode description reveals that Jimmy is changed by a big date, Kara gets on the apps, Lois sings the blues, and Superman manages to destroy Clark’s Saturday. That last detail alone should send a very clear signal that the show’s signature blend of romantic chaos and superhero comedy is about to kick into an even higher gear.
The balancing act between Clark’s double life and his relationship with Lois has always been one of the most endearing threads running through this series. Showrunner Jake Wyatt confirmed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the season explores the question of “What’s a Superman?”, with Clark wanting to settle down with Lois while she remains laser-focused on not losing her star reporter status at The Daily Planet.
Jimmy Olsen being “changed by a big date” also opens up some genuinely interesting territory. Kiana Madeira is back as Kara Zor-El, whose storyline this season focuses on adapting to Earth and embracing her Kryptonian heritage, and her jumping onto the apps while Jimmy navigates his own romantic subplot suggests this episode is going to lean hard into the personal lives of the entire core crew.
The Reign of the Supermen Arc Powering Season 3
Season 3 of ‘My Adventures With Superman’ draws inspiration from the 1993 DC Comics storyline ‘Reign of the Supermen’, though it will not adapt the comic directly and instead introduce its own twists. The show’s track record of reimagining classic DC mythology while keeping it emotionally grounded is a big part of why fans have responded so strongly to this season.
The season’s first poster revealed Cyborg Superman, who features an “L” symbol on his chest rather than Superman’s iconic “S,” and may be operating under the influence of Lex Luthor, the season’s primary antagonist. Max Mittelman returns as Lex Luthor, Hank Henshaw and Cyborg Superman, while Darren Criss, who previously played Clark Kent in the Tomorrowverse line of DC animated films, has been cast as Conner Kent, Superboy.
Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen described season 3 as a season that “goes harder, looks bigger, and packs the emotional punch that makes this series such a standout.” Given how much runway the show still has left in its ten-episode run, these first few episodes are essentially the setup for what promises to be a genuinely ambitious second half.
Jack Quaid and the Cast Delivering Career-Best Work
Star Jack Quaid acknowledged the nearly two-year gap between seasons and thanked fans for their patience, promising the wait would be worth it. Based on early reactions, that promise is landing. Quaid described the new season as “really great” and “really funny,” while also noting that the stakes are “so much higher” for his character this time around.
Alice Lee reprises her role as Lois Lane, with Ishmel Sahid returning as Jimmy Olsen in a storyline that focuses more heavily on journalism this season. The three-way dynamic between Clark, Lois, and Jimmy has always been the emotional engine of the show, and the character work in season 3 is clearly being taken seriously. Season 3 also brings new heroes, returning villains, and a broader DC Universe continuing to take shape around Metropolis.
The series is produced by Warner Bros. Animation, with Studio Grida handling animation for the third season, marking a change from the Studio Mir setup used in the first two seasons. That production shift appears to be working in the show’s favor, with critics and fans widely noting how polished and cinematic the new season looks compared to its predecessors.
If “All’s Fair in Love and W.O.R.M.S.” delivers even half of what its chaotic, wonderfully specific premise is promising, episode 3 could end up being the conversation-starting moment of the season, so once you’ve watched it, come back and tell us whether you think Jimmy’s big date or Lois singing the blues was the real highlight.
