When asked on the future of the show Hartley said, "Look, the producers are so busy right now, they don’t know if they’re doing one more season or eight more seasons or two more seasons. They have no idea. So we’ll see. I’ve spoken to them a couple weeks ago and had kind of a vague conversation with them about concept and stuff.”
He also went on to talk about where his character may be heading in season 9, “I know there’s a couple of saves gone awry,” he revealed. “I think Oliver might be drinking again, which is always fun to play. So we’ll see what happens. I’ll leave that up to the brain trust.” and when asked if Green Arrow will be facing off against new villains Metallo and Zod he said, “I hope so. I always like to work with new actors. We just got this guy. I guess they hired a gentleman a couple days ago, so hopefully. We’ll see what happens.”
However the main question now should be, Can Smallville really last another EIGHT seasons in its current format or is it time to take the show in a new direction?
