Dearest fans -
Just wanted to blast off some news that makes me very happy.
A few weeks ago, completely out of the blue, Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson called me and asked if I was available to direct the series finale of SMALLVILLE. I was and... After doing a couple of backflips... I gladly said yes!
I sometimes feel that I must have done something very good in a past life - because, more often than not, things go my way in this one. Ever since leaving SMALLVILLE, now almost six years ago - I always had a dream to complete the series. I really love the show and the cast and the crew.
When I left the show after season 5 I begged Miles and Al to remember me for the finale episode whenever it came time to do it. But they left as well, and life went on, and then SMALLVILLE went on and on and on too. Enough time and circumstances had passed that I began to forget about the possibility of being able to be involved with the end of the series.
My schedule is hectic and this business is crazy and the nature of my work, in general, is that I never know what I'm going to be working on at any given time. Besides, at this point, it was completely out of my control - Kelly and Brian make all the decisions - and I had no idea what they were thinking.. Sooo -- after finishing the season 9 finale last year, I resolved within myself that that was probably the final episode of SMALLVILLE I would ever do. I was really happy to have returned to do the season 9 finale and to have, what I thought was one last time with my old family.
But fate is a funny thing. There were some other projects I was pushing on to get going in January and, try as I might, they just weren't happening. That's the TV business. So - literally on the day that I was getting into a frustrated acceptance about not getting what I wanted - the phone rang and it was Kelly and Brian!
I really want to tip my hat to them. As, I'm sure all you SMALLVILLE fans agree, this season 10 has been really exciting. Every SMALLVILLE fan I know says that the series is coming to a great conclusion and all of the characters and arcs are moving into position perfectly. Kelly and Brian have certainly steered the ship masterfully.
Having said all that - and even though I will start shooting relatively soon - I don't know anything about the script yet or how it will be presented by the CW. I'm sure it will be great though!!!
Also - As I'm sure you have all heard by now. my good friend, Michael Rosenbaum has just announced that he will be back for the finale as well. So - the cosmos is moving in perfect synchronicity. We have talked and we are both really excited to reunite. He really wants to do the right thing for the fans! It all just feels so right! The old gang will be together again. I am happy.
Thank you to all who have supported and followed me over the years! I promise I will do everything within my power to make this series finale' great!!!! You guys deserve it!
Color me overwhelmed -
Greg Beeman

Thank you for accepting the direction, Mr. Beeman! \o/
Go get 'em good sir!
It's as if the news about this finale couldn't get any better. First I hear that Michael is coming back for the finale and now I hear that you're directing it.
While I'm sad that Smallville's ending, with you directing, it'll surely be great.
I must ask, however, that if you plan on doing another big blog post like you did for last year's finale, that you maybe wait until after it airs. Last year fans got sucker-punched with the news that Allison Mack was leaving the show, and that really took a lot of excitement out for the finale.
Are you handling both hours?
Congratulations, Mr. Beeman!
Smallville is my favorite series and you're the best director that the series has ever had!
"Exodus", "Commencement", "Reckoning", "Salvation", etc.
And now..."Finale"
GOD BLESS!
I love it! Congratulations Mr Beeman, you are such a fantastic director an we all know how much you care and love this show so thanks, thank you so much because we know you, one more time, will be doing a wonderful job with the finale.
I am really excited you are directing the series finale of Smallville. Congrats and all the best.
PD: Please, just like you did with Salvation. Would you do another blog post to share your experience of doing the finale & take some pics of the shooting to share it with us the fans?
Pleaseeeeeee :)
A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
This Smallville finale is gonna be EPIC!
Congrats Mr. Beeman, you are such a fantastic firector and now we know the finale is in good hands because you don't only like this show but you also care about it, so thanks!!!
Please take some pics, like you did last year to share them with us, the fans, who will be a bit sad cause such a wonderful show has ended.
Best of luck!
All the best
John
I think that you are the most talented and fantastic director out there.you have this amazing gift to be given a script and creating something so delightful,intense and iconic out of it.It's no coincidence that some of the top rated and most fantastic smallville episodes and iconic scenes were directed by you!Keep rocking,Greg!-a huge fan from greece
This is the PERFECT way to END Smallville
The Series Finale is in good hands :)
If I could ask one request that maybe not a lot of fans have asked its this: Please try to convince Kristin Kreuk to return for the finale. I know Lana Lang wasnt always the most popular character on the show (and I think that was sort of unfair) but it would just feel weird with her not being there when everyone else has decided to return. I know some people dont want her back, but I dont think one needs to make an angsty Clark and Lana moment to have those two characters come to terms with each other and actually show Lana in a place of content with Clark and see him as Superman rather than her just fade away as a walking Kryptonite.
She may not have the fan demand of Michael, but she needs to comeback. If there is anything you can do, and if you can get her to deliver a great performance in doing so (Wasnt she great on Chuck last year?), I would be Sooooo greatful.
you might have been there when the CLANA fandom made a LOT of projects to praise, and to preserve the love that these two conveyed! and I know TW AND KK are UNAWARE of the huge effect they left in many MILLIONS of ppl's hearts! the new twist of the show has, intentionally or unintenionally disrespected, retconned and is trying to slaughter them and their story and effect!
as much as it pains me as an original Smallville fan to not see the show end with the BIG THREE it started with, LANA AND CLARK, Lex, we wouldnt want KK to come back only to nail the last nail on their coffin in this show to pimp clois and ED's character! the show has turned into making ED'S wish list to come true! and it is pretty shameful, so the HUGE FANDOM that LOVE KK AND TW AND CLANA, for the effect they left in our hearts, for the sake of the ORIGINAL show, we do not want KK to be in this sham... MAYBE KK's fans and CLANA fans are not seemingly vocal, but we tried to voice our plea to preserve their love and the CLANA hertiage, but they fell on deaf ears! maybe you can deliver this one message to MR. WELLING and tell him that there is a HUGE fan base that ship CLANA and many NEW memebers are still joining! many media and the SV current producers are brushing off the importance of CLANA and their fans,,, but rest assured that CLANA is still beloved, worshipped and ppl still join their ship even after two years of RIPPING them off!
the show started unique and different and now it fell to the myths DEATH trap! I hope you will make the TWO million happy with your directing,, but please remember CLANA is BELOVED and the MOST favored ship among ppl who are not wearing the "myths" blinders!
CLANA was all about fighting the given and embracing the unknown! it was so beautiful and unforgetable, and if the show decided to forget about them, they have ppl who are making it their goal to maintain them, through fics, videos, arts and talking and reminiscing them!
Just one request...please, please take a BTS picture of you with Tom and Mike. You have no idea how happy that would people.
I'm not asking much, just that.. :)
you both were my fav directors on Smallville since season 2; couldn't think of a more fitting end to the series.
BIG fan,

I couldn't imagine anyone else directing the finale than you Mr.Beeman.
You are an amazing man and director in my eyes since Smallville and Heroes.(both are my favorite shows)
I am a fellow media producer/director but on the brand/ad agency side of the business.
I've followed Smallville since the beginning and loved your work on "Salvation." This last season has built quite well and I love the theme of a darkside with Darkseid coming. I'm unsure if you actually read these comments but there is no harm in trying.
I produced a song a few years ago (I'd actually say I over produced it) that is entitled "Darkside." I thought it was very fitting for this season of Smallville but I have not pursued the thought of getting it on the show. I still am not trying to get this on the air as I'm sure you are knee deep in color correcting and assembly. However I thought you might appreciate the song in reference to the build up to Darkseid.
