Showrunners Gough and Millar
Exit The CW’s SMALLVILLE!!

I am – Hercules!!


Al Gough and Miles Millar, who served as “Smallville’s” showrunners since the show’s debut on The WB seven years ago, have left the series, according to an open letter to fan-run Web destination Kryptonsite.

“We look back at 152 episodes,” the duo wrote. “We look back knowing that the show will continue into Season 8 without us. After much heartache and debate we have decided it is time for us to move on.”

The showrunners, who scripted big-screen projects like “Shanghai Noon” and “Showtime” before they began shaping the tales of a pre-Superman Clark Kent, say they “can finally focus on features now.”

Read all of the letter here.
