There was a time where Smallville was the king of live-action comic book shows, and this set is determined to celebrate that. Smallville: The Complete Series 20th Anniversary Edition is releasing on October 19th, 2021!

The special set will feature all 218 episodes as well as over 28 hours of bonus features. These bonus features will be pulled from all ten seasons of the hit Clark Kent origin show! The set even includes a digital copy of the complete series! How cool is that?
