Another season of “Smallville” means more exciting new characters, adventure and conflict, as the longest running “Superman” TV series continues to deliver great entertainment with the release of “Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season” on DVD and Blu-ray™ on August 25th.


Fans will thrill to this collectible multi-disc set with all 22 episodes of the eighth season, plus amazing bonus features, including unaired scenes, cast & crew commentaries, and several never-before-seen featurettes including “Smallville’s Doomsday: The Making of a Monster.” The six-disc DVD set is priced at $59.98 SRP, and the four-disc Blu-ray set is priced at $79.98 SRP; both have an order due date of July 21, 2009.

In Season Eight – starring Tom Welling, Allison Mack, Erica Durance, Aaron Ashmore, Cassidy Freeman, Sam Witwer and Justin Hartley – there’s a new reporter at the Daily Planet: Clark Kent, who shares a workspace with Lois Lane. There’s a new hero in Metropolis, too. No one knows who he is. But Jimmy Olsen was on the scene of one of the do-gooder’s exploits, and he snapped a blurred photo of the hero in superspeed action – a hero everyone now calls the Red-Blue Blur.

Red-jacketed, blue-shirted Clark Kent draws closer to his Superman destiny, and another Kryptonian destiny also takes shape as Davis Bloome begins to realize he is Doomsday. His mission on Earth: kill Clark Kent. So many new events (Will Jimmy and Chloe’s marriage last?), so many new faces (Tess Mercer, Saturn Girl and Cosmic Boy among them!), so many state-of-the-art effects – so don’t miss a single thrill-packed moment!

“‘Smallville’ is the longest running live-action ’Superman‘ TV series, a testament to its popularity and loyal fan base,” said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV and Special Interest Marketing. “This is one of the most memorable shows on TV and a must-have on DVD. As with prior seasons, ‘Smallville: The Complete Eighth Season’ is timed for release just in time for the Season Nine premiere of the series on The CW.”

“Smallville” was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar, and is based on DC Comics characters. The executive producers for Season Eight are Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer, James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. “Superman” was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The series is from Tollin/Robbins Productions and Warner Bros. Television. Beginning this fall, “Smallville” will air Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW Television Network.
