‘Smallville’ Season 10: Things are looking even brighter…

Things are looking even more certain that ‘Smallville’ is headed for at least one more year. But right now the roller-coaster ride has just begun.

Today The CW held their part of the Television Critics Association press tour, and several journalists caught up with CW Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff to discuss the prospects of Smallville going for a tenth season.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello, Ostroff sounds optimistic about the show’s chances, and seems pleased with the show creatively. But regarding whether or not the show will be back for another year, Ostroff says the decision will come in May. “[The producers] haven’t even pitched us the last episodes yet, so we haven’t even gotten to how we’re going to deal with the last episode and whether it’s a season finale or series finale,” Ostroff said to Ausiello. “But right now, I think it’s just aseason finale.”

Ostroff also made chances sound good in an interview with IGN’s Eric Goldman. “If the show doesn’t come back, I think it will be a sort of really last minute decision, because either development [for new series] was great or the show wasn’t doing as well on Friday nights. But we still have a whole half a season to go before we have to determine that,” she said.

So, while no official decision has been announced, at least things ARE sounding good.
