The Smallville Animated Sequel Series: A 2025 Update

For years, the most persistent rumor and hope among the fandom has been the development of an animated sequel series, which would continue the story of Clark Kent, now fully embracing his role as Superman, and Lex Luthor. The latest updates, as of 2025, have provided a candid, though somewhat disappointing, picture of the project’s status.

The DC Universe Reboot is the Hold-Up

The animated series, which was being championed by Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum, remains an active goal for the duo. However, Welling recently provided a "discouraging update" on the potential return of the DC TV drama. The primary roadblock is the ongoing restructuring and reboot of the DC cinematic and television universe under new leadership.

Welling confirmed on Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast that while they are still hoping to bring the animated series back, DC’s reboot plans are keeping the project grounded. This means the series, which has been in development since around 2021, is currently on hold, as DC focuses on establishing its new continuity.

Despite the delay, the enthusiasm from the cast is undeniable. Rosenbaum has used his popular podcast, which frequently features interviews with other Smallville actors and industry figures, to keep the conversation—and the hope—alive. The animated sequel remains a passion project for the stars, who want to give the fans the definitive "Season 11" they have long awaited.

Where the Cast Is Now: New Shows, Podcasts, and Major 2025 Reunions

Beyond the sequel talk, the individual careers of the Smallville actors are thriving in 2025, with several major professional and fan-focused activities taking place.

Kristin Kreuk’s Return to Crime Drama

Kristin Kreuk, who played Lana Lang, has made a significant return to television with a new starring role. She is leading the cast of the FOX psychological crime drama, Murder in a Small Town. The series, which has an all-new 2024-2025 program slate announcement, showcases Kreuk in a compelling new role, moving her far beyond the fields of Smallville.

In a fun twist of topical authority, her new show has also become a mini-reunion hub. Reports indicate that another major Smallville cast member, Erica Durance, will be guest-starring in Murder in a Small Town, delighting fans with a new on-screen collaboration between the former Lana Lang and Lois Lane.

The 2025 Convention Circuit and Full Cast Reunion

The biggest news for fans in 2025 is the sheer number of full-cast reunions scheduled. The "Salute to Smallville" convention is set for September 13-14, 2025, in the Chicago area.

This event promises a massive gathering of the core cast, with announced guests including Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, and Erica Durance. Additionally, Welling, Rosenbaum, Erica Durance, and John Schneider (Jonathan Kent) recently participated in a Q&A panel at Comic Con Revolution 2025, showing their continued connection to the fandom.

Michael Rosenbaum's Podcast Empire and Tom Welling’s Ventures

Michael Rosenbaum’s Inside of You podcast remains his most prominent project, where he conducts deep, candid interviews with celebrities, including frequent appearances by Tom Welling. The podcast is a major entity in the Smallville universe, as it is often where the most up-to-date news on the animated sequel and cast collaborations is revealed.

Tom Welling, with an estimated net worth of $14 million to $15 million in 2025, continues to focus on his family, farm life, and the podcast world, alongside his convention appearances. Erica Durance, known for her role in the medical drama Saving Hope, has also received recent attention for her work in made-for-TV films like Color My World with Love, for which she received a Canadian Screen Award nomination, and the new film Unexpected Grace.

The enduring popularity and continued professional success of the Smallville cast prove that the story of the young Superman and his friends remains a powerful force in pop culture, with 2025 serving as a vibrant new chapter.
