Superman is back! Well, not really as the man in the blue suit, but Tom Welling who is best known for his role as Clark Kent a.k.a. Kal-El on "Smallville" is set to return to small screen with CBS's new drama "Section 13".

The project from Warner Bros. TV and Tom Welling Productions will center on a CIA black ops officer-turned-private contractor (Welling) who, in the wake of a personal tragedy, joins a covert organization devoted to carrying out the most difficult high-stakes assignments.

Carla Kettner ("Bones") writes the drama and also serves as executive producer along with Welling.

Since ending his stint as Clark Kent on "Smallville" which ran for 10 seasons, Welling has appeared in several movies, including "Parkland" (2013) and "Draft Day" (2014). He will next be seen in "The Choice", based on Nicholas Sparks' novel of the same title.
