Even if it was not part of the big announcement of shows renewed by the CW network. Reports from E! Online are saying that it will be very likely to return for another season because of the strong performance of the current season.
The network is still in negotiations with the actors, and they may be prepping the next season as the END-OF-THE-SERIES event.
I'm glad that there's a huge rambling for a season 10 of Smallville. Hopefully if its an end of the series event, it goes out with a bang. Then I'm hoping they have another Superhero series based on actual DC/Marvel comicbook characters to replace the void that Smallville will be leaving.
-ACCESS out. Godspeed and MABUHAY!
