January 15, 2009: More From Ostroff on the Future of "Smallville"

IGN.com also recently spoke to The CW's President of Entertainment, Dawn Ostroff regarding a possible ninth season of "Smallville"...

    "We're starting to talk about it. Obviously, we are prepared either way. If the show doesn't go on, we've got a series finale that the writers have been thinking about, but I think we'd all love to see the show come back."

    Ostroff went on to say, "Creatively, we've got a new team of writers who are running the show and they've done a great job with the series this year. We've gotten great feedback from the fans. It's interesting, because they've even used more female characters this year, which I think has even really helped it blend in more with the rest of the [CW] lineup. So, we've been really pleased with the show and would love to see it back."

The official verdict probably won't come down until the upfronts in May, when the networks unveil their new fall schedules, however E! Online says that the chances of "Smallville" being renewed for a 9th season are "Good, assuming Tom Welling is up for it - the show continues to have admirable ratings and has creatively thrived despite the exit of Kristin Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum."

Thanks to Jackson Holtorp for the lead on this story.
