SMALLVILLE MOVING TO FRIDAYS
The CW will be moving Smallville from Thursdays at 8 p.m. to Fridays at 8 p.m. for its ninth season.
The network will released its scheduled for the new season on Thursday.
The CW will put a new show, Vampire Diaries, in Smallville's old time period, pairing it with Supernatural on Thursdays.
Smallville originally aired on Tuesdays when it premiered on The WB in 2001, and moved to Wednesdays in 2003 and then Thursdays in 2005.
Here's how the network sets up the new season:
"Last season Smallville was filled with twists and surprises, starting with the disappearance of Lex Luthor. However, someone quickly arrived to take his place -- the enticing Tess Mercer. As Tess maneuvered her way through town, she flirted with her old flame Oliver Queen, discovered Clark's true identity and unleashed a new world of danger. As if that hurdle wasnąt enough for Clark, he also met his greatest match -- Doomsday. Smallville explored the origins of Doomsday, revealing a sympathetic guy named Davis Bloome, who battled an inner demon -- the Doomsday character fans have loved to hate for years. When Clark wasnąt busy battling the beast, he was knee-deep in work at the Daily Planet. Last season threw Clark and Lois Lane together -- literally across the desk from each other. As Clark's persona as the cub Planet reporter emerged, so did his feelings for Lois, the fated love of his life."
The network lists the following cast members: Tom Welling as Clark Kent, Allison Mack as Chloe Sullivan, Erica Durance as Lois Lane, Justin Hartley as Oliver Queen and Cassidy Freeman as Tess Mercer.
