Smallville: Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, and Michael Rosenbaum Look Back on the Series 20 Years Later

With Smallville: The Complete Series arriving on Blu-ray tomorrow for the first time ever to celebrate its 20th Anniversary, I recently had the chance to speak with Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, and Michael Rosenbaum about the making of the show. During the very fun interview, they shared some very honest behind-the-scenes stories about what it really takes to make a show like Smallville, how they were always in the dark about getting another season, how they’ve stayed friends, their thoughts on how long the series could last, why Welling never made it to San Diego Comic-Con until the last year, how every episode someone ended up in the hospital, being happy social media didn’t exist back then, and more. In addition, we talked about how Smallville helped usher in the popularity of superhero properties and what’s going on with the Smallville animated series that Welling and Rosenbaum are trying to put together.
