Season 9 is Possible

The piece of Smallville news that’s not about an episode. From Ask Ausiello.

Question: Any news as to whether Tom Welling has signed on for another
season of Smallville?

ScarlettAusiello: Yes, there’s news, and it’s good. Some would even call it, ahem, super. According to a well-placed Smallville insider, Welling is nearing a deal to return for a ninth season. I’m told they’re just ironing out some minor deal points, such as should the Brinks Truck pull into the actor’s driveway, or just unload on the street.

I’m still holding judgement until next week if the second half of this good season holds up. If so then I’m all for it. If not, then the next season better be it’s last.
