There Was Almost a SMALLVILLE and SUPERNATURAL Crossover
Smallville and Supernatural were both extremely popular shows on The CW at one point, and it turns out that there was actually a pitch made for a Supernatural and Smallville crossover. I don’t recall ever hearing about this, but it actually sounds like it would have been an interesting concept to play with.
These are two very different shows and when I first heard about this, I didn’t quite see how this crossover could have effectively worked, especially with Jensen Ackles playing a role in both shows. But, the concept would have been carried out in an episode of Supernatural, and it sounds like it could’ve been fun.
In an interview with EW years ago, writer Jackson Stewart, who co-wrote the Supernatural episode “Frontierland” talked about the Supernatural-Smallville crossover that never happened, sharing what the episode what have entailed:
“There was a lot of really cool ideas that some of the writers had. They had an episode where they really wanted to do a Superman curse that was about every actor who plays Superman ends up getting killed. So they find out that Tom Welling from Smallville is next and have to save him. I thought that was one of the funniest ideas that I’d heard.”
Smallville co-creator Alfred Gough also confirmed the news saying this would have happened around the seventh season of Smallville: “This is true. Eric Kripke and myself and Miles had these discussions around season 7 of Smallville.”
This is just one of those “what if?” scenarios that almost happened. Would you have liked to see it?
