Why Smallville Season 11 Was Cancelled

Summary

• Smallville season 11 was never made due to a decline in ratings and the high production costs associated with the show's special effects and action scenes. It was also in line with the show's core premise, which focused on Clark Kent's life before becoming Superman.
• However, Smallville season 11 did happen in the form of a comic book series. It continued the story after the show's conclusion, featuring Superman, Lex Luthor, the Justice League, and even the debut of Batman in the universe.
• Smallville also made a return in the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover event, serving as an epilogue for the show. There are talks of an animated continuation, which could explore Clark's retirement as Superman and the reactivation of his powers.

Smallville season 11 could potentially have continued the beloved series, but the DC TV show telling an epic Superman origin story ended in season 10. Smallville was a highly popular Superman prequel series during its run, but as it entered its last few seasons, it was never fully clear exactly how much longer the show would continue. Each of Smallville's last three seasons in particular inevitably carried the question of whether they would be the show's last, until Smallville season 10 was officially announced as the show's concluding chapter.
As Smallville approached season 10, it was still popular enough that it could have conceivably continued into season 11. This ultimately did not happen, and in the end it was for the best, with the show allowed to stand as a decade-long saga of Tom Welling's young Clark Kent and his journey from a Kansas farm boy to the Man of Steel. However, even with Smallville officially wrapping up in 2011 with season 10, the show has never truly been retired with a handful of comebacks and continuation stories in the years since. Here is why Smallville season 11 did not happen and how its characters' stories progressed after its conclusion.
