Smallville Gets a Tenth Season

After waiting patiently after hearing shows like The Vampire Diaries had been picked for the 2010-2011 season, the CW has finally announced Smallville will be back for season 10.

Here's The CW's official announcement:

"SMALLVILLE" TO RETURN FOR A TENTH SEASON ON THE CW

March 4, 2010 (Burbank, California) - The CW Network has announced that its hit series "Smallville" will return in the fall of 2010 for a momentous tenth season.

"Smallville," a modern retelling of the Superman legend, stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent. The Series moved to Friday nights this season, where it currently ranks as network television's #1 show in its period among men 18-34 and men 18-49. Additionally, "Smallville" has dramatically improved The CW's ratings performance in its Friday 8:00-9:00p.m. time period by 67% among adults 18-34 (1.5/6), 200% in men 18-34 (1.8/7), 75% in adults 18-49 (1.4/5), 18-49 (1.7/6) and 74% in total viewers (3.12 million).

"Smallville" joins the five previously announced series - "The Vampire Diaries," "Gossip Girl," "90210," "Supernatural" and "America's Next Top Model" - which will all return for another season on The CW.

"Smallville" was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar ("Shangai Noon," "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor"), based on the DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson serve as executive producers, along with James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

I can't get enough of this show. I just wish we would get to the point when Clark Kent becomes Superman, but that will probably never happen. I do hope however we see more kick ass episodes like "Absolute Justice" next season.
