The CW Network has announced that they have renewed their series The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, 90210, Supernatural and America’s Next Top Model for the 2010-2011 fall season.
Still not confirmed are future seasons of Smallville, One Tree Hill, or Life Unexpected.
UPDATE: Since this article was originally posted, Smallville HAS now been renewed for an additional year. You can read that press release here.
Here’s the press release about the initial renewals:
The CW Network has given early pickups to five series for next season, including four signature dramas and the reality hit AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL. All five shows will return in Fall 2010.
The series receiving early renewals include this season’s breakout hit THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, The CW’s most-watched show (4.6 million viewers) and the network’s number one show among adults 18-34 (2.5/8). THE VAMPIRE DIARIES premiere generated the largest audience in network history for a series debut (5.7 million total viewers). THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has improved The CW’s performance Thursday at 8:00 p.m. by 114% among women 18-34 this season. The network also renewed fan favorite SUPERNATURAL, which will enter its sixth season next year. SUPERNATURAL has one of the most loyal audiences of any show on television and does heroic work in a perennially tough time period. It has improved over last season among women and adults 18-34 (29% and 8%, respectively) this season, a remarkable accomplishment for a fifth-year show.
Also given early pickups for next season are The CW’s Monday night sensation GOSSIP GIRL,which is The CW’s number one show among its target demographic of women 18-34, and Tuesday’s trend-setting drama, 90210, which sees some of TV’s largest percent increases from DVR playback, nearly doubling its women 18-34 live-only ratings once live+7 data is included. Wednesday anchor AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL will also be back for cycles 15 and 16 with superstar Tyra Banks and new groups of aspiring models. AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL continues to rank second in the competitive Wednesday 8:00 p.m. hour among young women 18-34 (3.4/10).
Heh…. I love smallville, but really…. I think its time for it to evolve if it really wants to move forward. Bring in the costume and relaunch it as a new Superman tv series….. the no-costume rule already went out the window the moment green arrow started wearing his getup…. then the JSA episode had more costumed heroes that what a “normal” episode of smallville had in its infancy… time to move forward and bring in the cape and tights and continue from there as Superman. Tom Welling ain’t getting any younger and the cape and tights will bring in new light and life to the show as it should in a new direction. They proved that a costumed show can be handled with the JSA ep… so why not go the whole hog and bring in Superman year 1.
hey im from the uk and am a massive fan of smallville me and my family went through all season 1-8 in 3 months,,,,thats seriousely being glued to these boxsets lol,when i was a kid i loved superman and i think i speak for everyone’s childhood hero there,you have to keep smallville going its soooooooooo good,still waiting for smallville seaon 9 release date on dvd but it’ll be worth the wait,all i can say is please keep smallville going through to season 10 at least and make a really good ending where all evil is condemed to the phantom zone with no way out and clark and louis get married. KEEP SMALLVILLE GOING.
I don’t get how the ratings are not better then shows like Medium or Supernanny. I don’t know anybody that watches thoses shows but everybody I know watches Smallville. I am 32 years old so I’m talking about people I know from the ages of 21 to 35. For me Smallville can go on forever. I can’t get enough. Not extending it for another season if not more is a mistake. It’s on Friday and i know people go out but everybody has Tivo or DVR and I think that is probably why the rating aren’t as good as the show I mentioned above because people watching it later. I LOVE SMALLVILLE!!!!!!.
what they need to do is make him fly i will be piss if he fly in the last season and many other fane will to i been looking at that show snice it came out to this day
WEE NRRF TO KEEP SMALLVILLE GOING. WE NEED TO SEE LOIS AND CLARK RELATIONSHIP GROW WE HAVE WAITED ALONG TIME FOR THEI RELATIONSHIP AND WANT IT TO CONTINUE. THI YEAR WAS JUST A TEASE FOR LOIS AND CLARK THE FANS NEED TO SEE THEM COMPLETE THEIR RELATIONSHIP THE FANS DESERVE THIS. HOW CAN CW EVEN CANCELING THE BEST SHOW ON THE NETWORK,
I DONT GET IT. WHAT IS SUPERNATURAL ABOUT? WHY IS IT SO SUCCESSFULL? NOTHING INTERESTING IN STORY, BORING ACTORS, ANYTHING… ANOTHER 6th SEASON? WHY? OMG…
I really hope they renew Smallville for another year. Now that the serie has finally gotten close to what Superman was really about and got as amazing as it can be they’re gonna give up???
I love Smallville! Here in Brazil the number is well liked by thousands of fans.
It will be a pity not to renew the series for a tenth season. I’m in the crowd for it to happen but this renewal.
CW, do not get this undone, the show must go on!
Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already! Renewal, already!

hola a todos soy de Venezuela hace 2 meses empece a ver smallville y realmente me a cautivado jamas y nunca habÃa visto y vivido una historia asÃ… un amigo me presto todas las temporadas en DVD y e estado madrugadas enteras viendo la serie. es muy buena tienen que renovarla. No dejemos que la terminen porque creo que esta en sus mejores momentos.
hola a todos soy de Venezuela 2 months ago I started to watch smallville and
really captivated me to never, never had seen and experienced a history
well … a friend lend me all the seasons on DVD ye been dawns
seeing the entire series. is very good have to renew it. Do not let
the end because I think this at its best.
Everyone relax, Smallville will be back. I read that the big question is whether or not S10 will be the last and they are holding off on a huge announcement due to this season’s success.
Now if that’s wrong and they cancel it, everyone has the right to go crazy.
im so in love withis show its not about smallville being given a tenth season or not we have had 9 fanrastic seasons its about honesty they should of told the fans at the start of this season that its the last one just tell us whats going on cause you have us all in limbo which is like the c.w is giving nus the finger
I have been watching Smallville since it first aired. Sure the show has had some isues but the series needs to finish. At least go to season 10 and finish with Clark putting on the traditiaonla Superman suite and Clark and Lois get together.
renew smallville. I have not missed an episode yet. It is a great show. Please renew it.
My family and I have seen every episode of Smallville and will continue to watch as long as it’s on.
It’s one of the very few television shows we never miss- and the ONLY CW show we watch. If it goes, there will be no CW viewership from this house.
I hope the CW is smart enough to renew this old favorite with its very loyal (and international) fan base. Like others have said…what else could survive in that Friday night graveyard timeslot?
Go, Smallville!
renuew You got to have a season 10 wtf
Is the network serious, this has to be a joke !!!!
I have always been a major fan of smallville and been anxious
to see Clark Kent step into the shoes of the Greatest Superhero “Superman” in the history of comics.
That would not be ethical or fare in any matter of respect to loyal viewers abroad……………..
FAVORITE TV SHOW
I would love to see the CW re-new Smallville for a 10th and final season! I would also like to see a Smallville theatrical movie! Season 9 has been awesome! I can only imagine what they could do with a season 10 or a $100,000,000 theatrical flick. I hope they can bring Lex back for the final episode.
Its simple.
They need to have a season 10. Not just for the fans, but the respect alone to SUPERMAN. Where’s Lex?? Clark has got to fly and get his real costume. I know Tom Welling has that stupid “No Flights, No Tights” thing in his contract, but the show has gone past his life in Smallville. Even if its in the final episode, we need a glimpse of the uniform and he has got to fly and stand on top of the Daily Planet and pay homage to the real character of Superman. I’m sorry but I keep getting angrier seeing characters fly “The Legion, Bizarro, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, that new kid in “Warrior”, Zod, Kara etc” its just getting ridiculous guys.
hey im a big smallville fan tough i cant get the channel CW in the UK i would watch it if i could so smallville will keep going it is the best season ever love it and would never want it to be cancelled Neverrrrrrrrrrrrr! clois are the best and want to see more when it comes on E4 plzzz dont ever cancel xoxo
It’s like this…..No matter how much we all support the show and beg for a 10th and final season. The network will only view this from a business stand point. It sucks but it’s true. As a loyal fan of Smallville since the first show aired and haven’t missed a show since. It will be hard to see it go but it may be the reality factor we as fans may have to adjust to. Do I agree with how the network is handling this? Absolutely not!!! However I do agree with most of you on here and the show does deserve a 10th season and a fair bow-out. But as fans we will have to either accept the decisions made by CW or really come together to get our voices heard. With that said if Smallville is signed for a 10th season. The show really needs bring out all the stops. First Mr. Rosenbaum needs to get off his high petal stool and show some respect to the show and fans that made a name for him. This BS of him complaining about having to shave his head is becoming non-sense and how can he sit there and say that the character of Lex has gone as far as he can go with it. I’d like to know what made for TV movie that nobody has heard of or watching is he filming this week. We don’t need Lex for an entire season with Doomsday, Brainiac, Bizzaro and Zod in the equation.
If the 10th season were to focus on all big villains that Clark had to encounter while in the process in becoming Superman. That would make for a great season if not the greatest. Plus if you throw in some JL and JS in the mix it could very well be Smallville best season ever. Clark would have to be Superman in full force. Flight is a must. I’m not so picky that he would have to wear the suit. The blur name has to go and Lois has to give him the name. If it were up to me I would focus on Lex in the beginning and end of the season. Brainiac and Bizzaro would be great for November Sweeps and Mid season. Zod would be great start to the second half of the season. Plus we can’t forget about Ms. Tess Mercer. Then as show approaches April/May build up a Lex/Doomsday show down. After all it is Lex Luther that brings Doomsday back from the center of the earth. Which if I remember correct at the end of season eight is ware Clark planted his ass. Of course this all sounds like great ideas. But in the real world it will never happen.
I’d like to know what some of you think…..
Smallville was already renewed, several sources confirmed it recently. The CW might have not made the announcement yet, but this is pretty much a done deal.
No sources have confirmed a Smallville renewal, though it does seem likely, the network has been insistent that no decisions have been made and reckless proclamations that the show is for-sure coming back before negotiations are finalized could hurt the show’s chances.
Can somebody in CW tell me what is wrong with this picture here! It seems that all the comments here are for SMALLVILLE… You got to be kidding. I just hope SMALLVILLE won’t move to another station because it would be bad for CW showing no respect to the show.
I forgot something, if CW does not read these, I hate to say they need to get a better ophthalmologist for their eye!
First of all id like to mention that I m a huge fan of Superman, and Ive followed Smallville since its first year. It was great following the development of the greatest super hero, up until the 5th season. It kind of got real LAME, story lines are predictable, Love story with Lois here and there, then there’s the 3 second fights scenes which always leave viewers hanging. I mean, Come on Smallville Superman can Kick Ass…..Smallville Episodes is becoming repetitious crap, It just disrespects Superman. So I guess what I m trying to say is I would not be surprised if the show got CANCELLED. CW COME ON if SUPERNATURAL another one of my favorite shows can Kick Demon Ass combined with great story lines, why cant you do a better job on Smallville to win back lost Fans like me ……..
I agree with all the Smallville fans. I have been watching this show since day one and not dissappointed or tired of it yet. I admit that some seasons have been a little differents in the storylines but that’s what it’s all about. In regards to romance well like someone else said it’s inevitable and Lois is a huge part of Superman series and I was longing for it as well to happen. It has a little bit of everything and it’s what keeps me going and not get bored of it. It is a GREAT show!!! I’m pretty sure the CW will pick it up another season.
Smallville season 9 might be last season for sure. If Smallville start season 10 rating will drop heavy from 2.5 to 1.4 be cancel half way thourg season 10. Season 9 Smallville is a good ending point/last season due to low rating like 2.5 or something.
Im a connoisseur of Superman, ive collected everything from the 30s comics the the 30s early animation right upto season 8 of smallville…and i firmly believe the Smallville incarnation of Clark or more notebly now Superman is the greatest portrayal of the character ”ever” WHY…OK well we’ve been told the man story over and over again, but never the story of the boy who becomes the man and why!..we’ve never been shown or told how he came to deal with who he is and what his capabilitys are’ and how he comes to terms with using them, and for what purpose…and the Smallville people have nailed it” sure theres been few dodgy episodes, but all in all world wide Smallville is a smash, or it would never have got past the second season,..now nearly in its 9th year..its clear the people or majority have chosen the way forward for the future of Superman, or if you like who should definitely portray him…and i have to agree…it has to be Tom welling, i mean it worked for sex and the city…and it looks like they’ve already made sequel to it, and that show was’nt even tv show for half the time Smallville has been, so if it’s worked for that, im sure it would work for Smallville after its finished,…also Tom Welling’s played the character longer than anyone else in the industry, so it would only make the sense obviously to cast him as Superman, because lets face it’ brandon routh is ok actor but he’s not Superman” and i also believe this could be key factor into why the movie flopped…he just didnt convince people the way Tom welling dose, and as chris reeves said R.I.P, that a large part of it..to captivate the audience..to make them believe ”a man can fly” …so why should’nt Tom welling appear in Green lanturn…simply because his portrayal of the Clark kent character is been the best to date…just as chris bale’s Batman has been the best to date with the new life breathed back into the franchise, taking nothing away from the chris reeves legacy….there Gold classic” but it would seem fundimentally that Tom welling has as chris did all those years ago..captivated people into believing a man can fly…although he’s only taken flight once in nearly 9 years, however i believe the best is still yet to come, what they’ve done with Smallville is what George lucas failed the first time to do with Star wars, wheres lucus had to go back..they’ve made perfect foundational basis of which to launch 2 or 3 great Superman movies…and it worked with Star trek after the 60s series finished and it would work with Smallville…im not sure how many Star trek movies they made off the back of the 60s series…i do know they smashed the box office though, i dont believe we’ve ever seen Superman super before..sure sure we’ve seen him fly and move outside time in Smallville…but we’ve never seen what he truely capable of” the comics have always gave us glimpse…also if the keep casting the wrong people to play the key parts..the Superman franchise will fall into rut and decay just as the Batman franchise did in the 90s..before chris nolan rescued it!!…but with todays technology…and with the perfect cast Tom welling and michael rosenbaum…they should give us the world and Superman fans the movie we’ve been waiting so desperately for since mr reeves did the first movie!!! so should Tom welling be cast as the man of steel ..YES 100% he’s the way forward now for SUPERMAN!!!
to be honest..financially Tom Welling seems to be the best bet for Superman….with how well Smallvilles done in the last 9 years, and with the success of the sex and the city movie…i would’nt be soo sure that Welling wont be donning the cape sooner rather than later, DC entertainment also suggests that the two part Smallville episode’ titled ”Absolute justice” is simple test run to see how well it goes down with the audience, it would also seem a great coincidence how DC entertainment stopped all materail concerning a sequel to Superman returns, the way WB sort fit in not renewing rouths contract together with alot of other issues concerning it,i together with many other Superman fans feel that Welling is or has been primed for the role as the next Superman,
Don’t get me wrong. I loved Smallville. (well, mostly) But it kind of feels like dating a girl for 9 years and never getting to sleep with her.
I want the payoff, you did the pre-Superman years (what is Welling like 42 now???), I had to sit through annoying as hell Lana romance crap with the horrible actress that played her, Come on , please give us full fledged Superman for at least an episode or two before the show ends. We deserve it.
ok you ppl that don’t think that smallville should go another season….what’s your problem smallville has been a great show since day one. It hasn’t been going downhill at all first of all you have to have your filler shows if they went straight to the point the season would only last a month. As for bringing lana back and Pete for guest apperances there is nothing wrong with that it is called tieing up loose ends and thier relationship. So if Lex were to come back what would the audiance say to that? i think that CW should pick it up for one last season..everyone that disagrees is not a superman fan at all and just shouldn’t watch the show
“Mike” – please don’t tell other fans what to think or that “everyone that disagrees is not a Superman fan.”
Standard KryptonSite Forum rules also apply here.
I personally couldn’t care less if SV gets a 10th season. It’s become so convoluted and riddled with retcons I don’t even recognize the characters anymore.
If there is a season 10, I’ll still watch, but only to see the journey end.
What about “one tree hill” it is one of my all time favourite shows I have every season so far and I what there to be an 8th. I want to see where the relationship between clay and quinn goes. Please let us know. Please please please.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been a fan since the start of the series, but I too must admit that it has taken a nose dive. The show can be great again, but needs a face lift. Everywhere from the opening credits, to the completion of Clark/Kal-El’s training in the fortress. Is Clark ever going to make the complete transfer to Superman???? Especially now that Zod is flying about the city. Go back the the blue and red Clark, and while you’re at it, throw on the cape and boots this time. IT`S TIME!!!!
they should keep smallville around , it is one of the best shows going and does not compare to little kids that are 10 and 11 years old
I have watched smallville since the day it aired, and have loved every single season. every season left me watching the calendar for the next season to begin. i get tired of watching alot of the things on t.v. these days because if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen em all…(boring) my favorite station is the CW i love supernatural, and the vampire diaries, america’s next top model, but the show that attracted me to the CW was smallville. i’m a true smallville supernatural, vampire diaries fan, always have been, always will be….
smallville is one of my all times fav. shows (along with supernatural.) dean rocks
i started watching sometime in season 5 and would love to see the blur fly. I have to say red and blue tights not so much. i do love the blurrs style don’t ruin the series by putting tom welling in a crazy coustom ….. green arrow pulls it off but the blurr no not sooo much. unless you figure less is best?
The CW announced it yesterday that Smallville was renewed.
i watched and loved every episode,please dont let smallville go,smallville goes then the cw channel goes.enough said.
I am glad that SV will be back for a 10th season. I am anticipating another great season, hopefully they will bring back Lex and see Clark fly.
Perhaps they should kill someone off that is close to Clark, that could give him the urge to fly (at long last).
Also want to see the formation of the JLA, with Clark and Oliver gunning for the slot as leader.
Can’t wait…
i have watched Smallville from Season 1 to 9 and i love every episode. Please let there be a season 10. Keep Smallville..
More smallville. MAke adventures of superman. Or change the name to metropolis… Smallville is the best!!!
The press release say that they don’t know if Season 10 will be the last. So there could be more.
Oh Hell NO…CW better let Smallville run for next year and so forth. I mean this is the only show that my friends, family and I watch on CW. So, if CW decides not to run Smallville next year then they will lose a lot of viewers. I will aslo cut CW from my TV. This is the best show of all times. Smallville has a lot of fans so cutting the TV SHOW means cutting all fans. KEEP SMALLVILLE PLEASE! THE BEST SHOW IN THE WORLD!!!
I hope a return for Davis in season 10! Chlavis and Clois are the best couple of the show! I want a Chlavis return! greetings fro Italy
i dont realy like smallville it is kind of stupid once you think about it
Please, I hope.. For the SAKE of all the original “Smallville” fans out there. CANCEL the series. I turned it on and I was like, WTF? Wait Young ZOD? Time Travel? Huh?? Where’s Lex Luthor? Who the Eff is Tess? Clark and Lex, where’s the hero and villain epic battle struggle? *cough* This is like Dawson’s Creek, with steroids. The series was only good through seasons 1-4. (facepalm)
