August 28, 2008: Slavkin and Swimmer Talk Season 9 for "Smallville"
In an interview with Collider.com, executive producers Todd Slavkin and Darren Swimmer reveal that they're actually aiming for another season beyond the up-coming 8th season of "Smallville"...
- I'm also curious, like since you guys are obviously going to go for a season 9, how challenging is it as writers to think about the arc of where the season finale is going to go because it may be the last season. It may not be the last season. So how are you planning for that?
Todd Slavkin: We have alternate endings this season. We know how this season will end if there's a season 9, which we hope and we're keeping our fingers crossed, and we believe there will be. And we have plans if this would be the series finale. So it's just a matter of...right now we're so early in the season that we don't have to adjust yet, you know?
Darren Swimmer: But there's an arc that either way, whether it's the last season which it probably won't be, or we go on - there's still the arc....the story it's not like we're going to kind of have to like re-write and take out our erasers and re-write really fast. It's going to be the same basic arc either way.
