The CW Officially Renews Smallville and Supernatural

Let’s face it, the CW doesn’t have a whole lot of shows for genre fans, unless of course you’re one of those people who loves his Smallville next to his 90210 or one of the network’s other gazillion shows about rich teenagers having promiscuous sex with each other. But it does have Supernatural and Smallville, both of which have been officially renewed for another season.

Of note is the aging superhero show Smallville, which enters its ninth season with the re-signing of star Tom Welling, reports THR. Obviously there wouldn’t be a ninth season without Clark Kent aka Superman, so I would imagine Mister Welling has gotten himself paid quite handsomely to return once again. At this rate, Clark Kent will have fought every single one of his comic book villains without ever having donned his boy scout uniform.

The brothers Winchester, meanwhile, will return for a fifth season over at Supernatural, which is pretty much the only show on the network I even bother to DVR. I guess this means Dean and Sam manages to save the world from imploding at the hands of the demon Lilith. What a little bitch.
