Fans of the long-running Smallville series can look forward to owning the entire show on Blu-ray for the first time ever come October 19, 2021. From Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Smallville: The Complete Series 20th Anniversary Edition comes with tons of extra content!

Smallville: The Complete Series 20th Anniversary Edition will include all 218 episodes along with more than 28 hours of bonus features from the entire 10 season run. The upcoming Blu-ray release also includes a Digital Copy (the US only). You can buy the Blu-ray edition for $179.99 SRP ($209.99 in Canada). The DVD release will cost you $154.99 SRP ($184.99 in Canada). Smallville: The Complete Series is currently available to own on Digital.

The official description reads:

The groundbreaking, Emmy-winning 10-season hit that redefined the origins of the world’s greatest superhero is all here – from Krypton refugee Kal-El’s arrival on Earth through his tumultuous teen years to Clark Kent’s final steps toward embracing his destiny as the Man of Steel. Relive a decade’s worth of thrills in fantastic adventures full of action, heart, and humor in abundance, all anchored by the marvelous performance of Tom Welling at its center. Savor again the series’ thoughtful and imaginative integration and reinvention of the iconic characters of DC lore. And let your spirits be lifted up, up and away.

The cast includes Tom Welling as “Clark Kent,” Allison Mack as “Chloe Sullivan,” Kristin Kreuk as “Lana Lang,” Michael Rosenbaum as “Lex Luthor,” John Glover as “Lionel Luthor,” Erica Durance as “Lois Lane,” Annette O’Toole as “Martha Kent,” John Schneider as “Jonathan Kent,” Justin Hartley as “Oliver Queen,” Sam Jones III as “Pete Ross,” Cassidy Freeman as “Tess Mercer,” Aaron Ashmore as “Jimmy Olsen,” Eric Johnson as “Whitney Fordman,” Laura Vandervoort as “Kara,” Callum Blue as “Zod,” Jensen Ackles as “Jason Teague” and Sam Witwer as “Davis Bloome”.

The show has also featured many notable guest stars including Terence Stamp, James Marsters, Michael McKean, Ian Somerhalder, Jane Seymour, Brian Austin Green, Pam Grier, Helen Slater, Michael Ironside, Julian Sands, Tori Spelling, Rutger Hauer, and Christopher Reeve.

Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Based on DC Comics characters, Smallville was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar. Its executive producers have included Michael Tollin, Brian Robbins, Joe Davola, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, James Marshall, Brian Peterson, Kelly Souders, Todd Slavkin, Darren Swimmer, Greg Beeman, Ken Horton, and Tom Welling. The series is from Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough Ink and Warner Bros. Television.

Take note; the upcoming Smallville complete series Blu-ray release includes 2 DVD discs with over 28 hours of bonus features originally released on the Smallville Seasons 1-10 DVD sets.

The Bonus Features include:

• The Adventures of Superboy – The original 1961 pilot starring John Rockwell.
• A Retrospective Look at the Series’ 10-Year Journey – An in-depth, season-by-season look at the creation of this landmark television series. Highlights include interviews with Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Michael Rosenbaum, Phil Morris, John Schneider, and many more, as well as rare behind-the-scenes footage.
• A Decade of Comic-Con Featurette
• Paley Festival Featurette
• Smallville’s 100th Episode: Making of a Milestone – An extended version of the original featurette included in the Season 5 set.
• Secret Origin: The American Story of DC Comics – A feature-length documentary chronicling DC’s 75 years of challenges, creativity, and triumph.
• Audio Commentaries, Deleted and Extended Scenes, Gag Reels, Behind-the-scenes featurettes, and much more from all 10 seasons!

The Blu-ray is presented in 16×9 widescreen format. The running time comes in at approximately 154 hours. The set includes a whopping 42 discs (40 Blu-ray discs and, as I have already mentioned, 2 DVD discs containing the bonus content). I can see certain collectors not liking the DVDs being present in a Blu-ray release.

Smallville debuted back on October 16, 2001. I like how the Blu-ray release is close to that date. The series finale aired on May 13, 2011.

The CW has kept the superhero game going with the Arrowverse. Tyler Hoechlin’s version of Superman can be seen starring in the Superman & Lois live-action series that premiered on February 23, 2021.
