Although there have been several retellings of Superman’s story over the years,Smallvillehas a very special place in the hearts of the fans. The series ran for ten seasons and starred the beloved Tom Welling, gaining a following of its own and managing to become iconic despite the flashy lights of DC’s cinematic universe. Not only was the series critically acclaimed, but it also stood out in its own way in front of the rest of the Superman projects.
With this in mind, it is not surprising that fans wanted more from the cast after the show aired its final season in 2017. Thankfully, it would seem that Welling himself, along with Michael Rosenbaum, are actively trying to get a spinoff for the series made.

With so much happening within the DC Universe, the possibilities of what can happen have become quite big now. Witha new animated filmfocused on Jason Todd and Dick Grayson on the way, it is safe to assume that the franchise has been making a lot of bold but good decisions. Considering this, it is not surprising that people wish forSmallvilleto come back in some way or another.
Thankfully, it would seem that fans are not alone in this sentiment. During a recent interview withScreenRant, Tom Welling revealed that he and Lex Luthor actor, Michael Rosenbaum, are actively trying to make an animated spinoff series happen.
I’ll tell you where it’s at: We need Warner Brothers and DC to let us do it. We’ve got Al [Gough] and Miles [Millar,] who are very busy doing a TV show called Wednesday. But they created Smallville, they want to write it. We just need to go ahead from DC and and Warner Brothers. So if you know anybody over there…because, listen, this is a passion project.

They simply need the go-ahead from the higher-ups, and the rest they are willing to do completely on their own. He added that the developers of the original series, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, are currently working on Jenna Ortega’sWednesday.
However, both of them are very interested in joining the potential new project, wanting to come back to their roles and write the series.
Tom Welling’s Pitch Is Very Blunt
Tom Wellingfurther elaborated on the plan that they have for a potentialSmallvillespinoff, revealing that they are taking a very realistic approach towards it. They understand that they are not going to make something record-breaking that is going to make the world stop for a second.
He explained that it is a passion project that is very close to the hearts of those who worked on the original series. He also added that they are not only doing it for their gratification, explaining that a show like this would simply be fan service and make their fans happy since they have been wanting something like this for years.
It’s not going to be a blockbuster, it’s for the fans. All the actors want to do the voices of the characters – we’re all in. We just need them to let us use the property.
