It's fate is undetermined right now.
I think this might be it too. The Closer has just finished their sixth season with their best ratings yet, and McDonnell can certainly carry a show. They could even promote Sedgwick's character and have her show up from time to time.
Probably in my own head, then. I remember hearing somewhere that Ackles and Padaleki were only contracted for 6 seasons, and that they weren't into the idea of dragging the series out beyond that, especially now Kripke's gone. I guess somewhere in my head over the last year or so, that has made me think we aren't gonna get a 7th season. I hadn't read much about the show since the middle of last year, so I didn't know that another season was a possibility.
I guess it's just me hoping that they don't drag the show out for too long, which is what tends to happen a lot in the American TV industry.
I'd still love to see a few Supernatural feature-length episodes with a bigger budget though. Smallville has run it's course as-is, so they'd need to go full-on Superman to keep my interest beyond S10, but I can't see them doing TV movies featuring Superman when there's a big screen outing in the works already. Another season? Maybe, but as I said, it'd have to be all or nothing.
Smallville has been having 11th season rumors since at least October, IIRC.
L&O: CI seems plausible, too, since D'Onofrio was coming back for the (supposedly) final season.
24 also seems maybe possible, considering the film doesn't seem to be working out...
Mary McDonnell taking over The Closer is an intriguing idea, as they have definitely been using her character a lot more...

My money is on Smallville.
24 is an interesting case to think about however. If I remember correctly, a ninth season was seriously considered and was only dropped in favor of ending the series and going to the big screen.
The the first scripts (scripts?) have been rejected, and there was some regrouping.
One thing is for sure. 24 needs to do something soon before the momentum needed for a film or a season is gone. It's possible if they don't get something off the ground Fox will decide to just let the series rest. Sad, because 24 has the potential to be a good film franchise. Not sure what else it can accomplish on television. TV movies might work. Redemption was pretty good.

This is properly read as "I wouldn't mind another season of Smallville, as long as it's actually another series entirely."
I think Ackles and Padalecki extended their contracts to a seventh year. I'm not 100% on that, though.
Yes. The actors are contracted through a seventh year, and we'll see if CW has the guts to end both Smallville and Supernatural at the same time.
If only FOX had the balls to do that to "The Simpsons" 15+ years ago.
If ever a reboot was needed, its of "Heroes" such potential and premise, and wasted -- blown right out the ass.
Would be nice if it were Stargate Universe, a show which was edging towards being decent.
Read the article. It specifies a "hit drama series." SGU was not dramatic, let alone a hit.
And edging toward somethign acceptable, does not justify the episodes that came before, in fact it make the decent new ones WORSE, since they are a product of what came before.
I did read the article, and I've been reading Ausiello for a long time now, to him almost anything can be termed a hit or dramatic. He interviews actors and producers all the time, do you think he gets those interviews by telling them their shows stink.
In your dreams. The entire point of that show is to stall. stall. STALL. Superman will never appear on the show. I would have thought ten seasons without Superman should have convinced everyone already. I guess not.
Too late. It was cancelled a while ago.
All we have left is SVU and LA, and maybe CI.
I thought it's cancellation was in May of 2010? That is within the specified 12 months.
But there's no time to save the show anymore. It's already off the air. Plus, SVU has taken most of its sets anyway.
The Asylum is always looking for a few cheap, sub-par actors.
