Exclusive Interview: SMALLVILLE producers Brian Wayne Peterson and Kelly Souders talk about Season 10
ASSIGNMENT X: I was under the impression from interviews last year that Zod was intended as a two-year arc?
BRIAN WAYNE PETERSON: Callum [Blue] had a two year contract, but even though we had loved Callum, we felt we had really run the character’s arc out. The exciting news is, we have hopes of having one great Zod episode. Nothing in stone, but we’re hopeful for this year.
KELLY SOUDERS: We know what it’s going to be.
AX: Did you know you wanted to bring John Schneider back last season, or was it something that happened when you realized Season 10 would be the last season?
PETERSON: We always have known, because the show has gone on for so long, and it really has roots that go back further than a lot of the storylines we’re playing out. So we wanted to end it by bringing back a few of the faces and people who were instrumental in the development of the show.
SOUDERS: We’ve been wanting to bring him back for awhile.
AX: Will John appear in more episodes?
PETERSON: He will reappear a couple more times this season.
AX: What do you think Jonathan Kent’s appearance adds to the show in the final season.
SOUDERS: It’s really to root Clark. Clark has been through a lot, and a lot has changed since the beginning of SMALLVILLE. When we went into this season, the fans of the first nine years will get everything they want out of the tenth season and everything we want out of the tenth season. We wanted to go back to some of the basic aspects of SMALLVILLE and in Clark Kent’s life and there’s nobody that exemplifies that more than Jonathan Kent.
AX: Obviously shows like LOST and THE SOPRANOS, they try to find unconventional ways to tell their ending – do you have any surprises? Do you feel SMALLVILLE kind of has to end that makes sense for the entire series or can you be meta and weird and do something strange too?
PETERSON: I think we succeed best when we do both. When we can pull off both, that’s when we’ve done our job. When we do something surprising and satisfying.
SOUDERS: We’re going to try to do it all.
