Smallville Season 10 – Michael Rosenbaum Is Not Returning
The CW network has announced that it will bring Smallvilleback for a 10th season, but unfortunately Lex Luthor is not coming along for the ride.
The long-running reboot of the Superman story, starring Tom Welling as Clark Kent and Erica Durance as Lois Lane, has enjoyed a ratings revival after being moved to Friday nights in the fall and will stretch it’s run into season ten with an unexpected rush of momentum. Smallville is currently the CW’s best performing show for male audiences and has dramatically improved their Friday night ratings.
Rumors were flying that Michael Rosenbaum would also return to the series and reprise his iconic role as Clark Kent’s greatest enemy Lex Luthor, but Rosenbaum has sadly debunked that report through Twitter.
Smallville revolves around the adventures of Clark Kent, a reporter for the Daily Planet newspaper and also a hero currently called The Blur, as he journeys from small town Kansas farm boy to Metropolis superhero. Clark Kent’s allies include the Green Arrow, who is played by Justin Hartley, and his enemies include the villainous Zod played by Callum Blue.
The current cast of Smallville also includes Allison Mack, whose Chloe Sullivan was created just for Smallville and was not originally a DC comic character. Allison Mack is the only series regular from Smallville season one still on the show besides Welling. This season Chloe’s role as Watchtower for the Justice League has given her a place in the traditional Superman mythos for the first time.
During the current season it’s been revealed that Lex Luthor is still alive and was not killed by the Green Arrow as previously thought. Michael Rosenbaum played Lex through season seven and fans had hoped he would make a return.
Smallville premiered on the CW back in 2001. Tom Welling has now portrayed Clark Kent longer than any other actor, except Christopher Reeve who played him over a long span in the Superman movies.
Smallville was developed for television by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar based on the popular DC Comics characters. Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson serve as the current executive producers.
I hope that there is one or more season from Smallville Season 10 impressive catalogue on this list that you have yet to view, but now will consider seeing.Watch out live Smallville Season 10.
