Season 10 has been announced as the final season of Smallville. Is this really it?
Yes. This is the final season. A decade - a nice round number to end it all out.
Can you tell us anything about what we might see in the final shot of the series? Do you already have that planned out?
I will say that we know the final shot.
In the preview clip, there's a shot of John Glover. Is he coming back to the show?
We are hoping for him to come back, and we have a story that we're really, really wanting to tell with him, that we're tossing around right now. Hopefully there will be some news soon.
Is anyone there anyone else returning this season?
Carter Hall is coming back in Episode Two, and we'd love to just pepper the whole season with people's favorites, along with some new characters.
Are you able to tell us how many episodes Allison Mack will be appearing in this season?
She's going to be in the premiere, and then she's going to be in several more. To be honest, we don't have a finite amount. Hopefully we'll get to use her as much as she's available. We just love her, and we have a really, really cool story for her when she comes back.
Is it difficult to keep coming up with one-word titles as the show has gone on this long?
Yes. It's keeping us up at night! [laughs]
Can you tell us who the actress is that will be playing Cat Grant?
Keri Lynn Pratt showed up on the set and was Cat Grant. We watched her audition, and both Brian and I immediately perked up. She just sort of had all of the attributes that we were hoping to find in one person, and that was really rare. It's perfect casting. She's fantastic. I think people will really like her.
Will Cat Grant be in more than one episode?
Yes. I'm not sure how many right now, but we expect to see her again really soon.
Is Clark finally going to fly without being "Kal" or anything like that?
Stay tuned!
