Gough, Millar to Leave ‘Smallville’

Posted on April 3, 2008 

Tom Welling, Smallville/The CWTo much surprise, Smallville creators and showrunners, Al Gough and Miles Millar, have announced their intention to step down from their roles on the drama at the end of the current season.

In an open letter, they stated, “After much heartache and debate, we have decided it is time for us to move on.”

“Over the last seven years, we have had the honor of working with a remarkable team of people here in Los Angeles and in Vancouver. We have been blessed with a wonderful cast who we have watched mature with admiration and affection. We have been rewarded with a fan base that is as loyal as it is vocal.”

“We are incredibly proud of our work on this show. We have achieved what we set out to do. We never compromised our vision,” the letter continues. “The pilot had the highest-rated premiere in the history of the WB. Even in its seventh year, it is still the #1 scripted show on the network.”

According to TV Guide, Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin, and Darren Swimmer — all longtime writers for the show — are set to take over as the new executive producers.
