Smallville Is Officially On The CW 2008-2009 Schedule
The CW has released their schedule for next season, and the cast list for Smallville season 8 might be missing a person or three, though Allison Mack's deal to appear apparently came after the announcement. Interestingly, Kristin Kreuk is on the cast list.

Here's the Smallville write-up: Returning for its eighth season, this new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series. Last season, Clark Kent and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) became the sworn enemies that comic book aficionados have always known and loved. The season also brought storylines of Krypton and the El family, including the arrival of Clark's cousin Kara, a.k.a. Supergirl (Laura Vandervoort), and the return of Brainiac (James Marsters).

There were also exciting guest stars from the Superman mythology, including Dean Cain ("Lois & Clark") and Helen Slater ("Supergirl"). Clark discovered more about his home planet, who his parents were, what his future holds and why he was sent to Earth. The series stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent, Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang, Erica Durance as Lois Lane and Aaron Ashmore as Jimmy Olsen. Reinterpreting the Superman mythology from its roots, SMALLVILLE was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar ("Shanghai Noon," "Spiderman 2"), based on the DC Comics characters. The executive producers are Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer, James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions and Warner Bros. Television. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

And now for the big questions: Does the description mean Allison Mack is NOT returning as Chloe next season? Did they get Kristin Kreuk back for more episodes, enough to be a series regular? Why isn't Laura Vandervoort on the cast list? Guess we'll know soon... in the meantime, discuss this news on the KryptonSite forum.
