Exclusive: Justin Hartley Eyes Smallville Comeback
Justin Hartley in Smallville by Michael Courtney/The CW
It's time for an all-new adventure in arithmetic, Ausholes!
Justin Hartley's CW drama pilot,
Austin Golden Hour, failed to receive a pick-up this week.

The towering Adonis has a talent-holding deal with the CW, which means the network pretty much owns him for the foreseeable future.
+
His Green Arrow was wildly popular on
Smallville, and fans have been clamoring for the Justice Leaguer's return since the moment he left.
+
In light of Michael Rosenbaum's impending
Smallville exit - Lex bids adieu in tonight's season finale (8 pm/ET) - and Kristin Kreuk's decreased role next season, the show needs all the familiar faces it can get its hands on.
+
Sources confirm to me exclusively that producers are very keen on bringing Hartley back into the fold ASAP.

Duh. Justin Hartley is (probably) returning to
Smallville next season as Green Arrow!
