Superman fans can rejoice - there very well may be a ninth season of Smallville, and Tom Welling is posed to sign on for it. Mike Ausiello, of Entertainment Weekly has the scoop on whether or not Welling is going to be back as the pre-Superman Clark Kent.

Ausiello writes:

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.


So, if all goes as well, we can expect to see at least one more season of the show, as it moves us ever closer to seeing Clark Kent don the mantle of Superman.

Smallville airs Thursday nights on the CW. New episodes, starting with LEGION begin on January 15, 2009. The drama about the early days of Clark Kent stars Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Allison Mack, Aaron Ashmore, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman and Sam Witwer.

    Love Smallville got it all on my DVR ready to record. The only problem I have with the series is Chloe she is pretty annoying. I also would like to see Lex return and Mr.Mxlkpz. Bring on January 15!

    OMG i cant wait for another season. These other fans suck. They wouldn't know true entertainement if it kick them in the teethe. This show keeps turning up new idea's. I have no doubt the writers will keep us on the edge of our seats, like they have all these years. Ignore the peasants and honor the true fans. I cant wait to see what they give us in round nine.

    They clearly have run out of ideas for this show. I mean really, they have had almost every major SUPERMAN villain on the show. Now he's going to fight Doomsday. When he finally becomes superman there will be peace in the world because he would have already beat all of his enemies years before they are suppose to show up. This show has went from great to a great disappointment. I will not watch a 9th season of this. I will however watch a show or 2 when a young Bruce Wayne pops up which will most likely be the case lol
