Smallville Season Nine a Go!
A couple of months ago it seemed that the chances of a ninth season of Smallville were pretty slim, well all that seems to have changed. Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Tom Welling is close to signing a deal to keep him on the show through a ninth season, the are close to a deal with only a few minor points left to iron out. An imporvement in quality of the show, as well as in ratings may have been the turning point in these negotians.
What does this mean for the proposed Martian Manhunter show?
With the way season eight has been going this is awesome news, and maybe they’ll go for ten seasons since they’re so close.
(EW)
P.S. here is the Martian manhunter news story regarding the possible spin off...
On the heels of rumors surrounding the ninth season of Smallville, showrunner Darren Swimmer suggested in an interview that there is a possibility of another Smallville spinoff, this time for Martian Manhunter, John Jones who is played by Phil Morris.
Remember that earlier this year there was news that a new show, The Graysons was turned down by the CW. Tom Welling who is not under contract for a ninth season may decide to hang up his red jacket. So it seems that current showrunners are on the look out for their next project at the CW.

Hmmm.... Just how long are they going to keep him not flying? I have to say Season 8 has really raised the bar, and you cannot help think if it is because certain people (Kristen Kruek, I am looking at you!) are not in it. I was really unhappy to hear Lana is due back. A further season with this quality or better, cool. Bringing back Lana, I cannot stand it! PS, the martian manhunter series would be great.
