Smallville Available to Stream for The First Time Next Saturday
All ten seasons of Smallville are coming to Hulu on Saturday, October 1st, marking the first time ever the series has been available to stream.
Smallville, which starred Tom Welling as a young Clark Kent before he became Superman, ran from 2001 to 2011. Its first five seasons aired on The WB before that network merged with UPN to create The CW, where the series finished out its ten-year run over five additional seasons.
While Netflix has become the streaming home for CW series in recent years, the deal between the two companies was struck after Smallville ended, allowing Hulu to secure the streaming rights for the series from Warner Bros. TV, who produced and own Smallville.

Moreno tweeted his design for "Parasite"--featuring a pitch-perfect take on a spider sinking its fangs into a blood-red bottle--back in August.
