DC has been doing a great job with their TV shows, and there are a few more in development at the moment. “Titans” will be coming to DC’s streaming service at some point in 2018, and a Superman prequel series titled “Krypton” is set to premiere on Syfy next year as well.
Superman fans will only have to wait a few more months before they can watch the series, as KryptonSite.com is reporting that Syfy confirmed to the site that “Krypton” will be arriving on the network in March of 2018.
The network has also released a new synopsis which reads as follows:
Set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, KRYPTON follows Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed. With Krypton’s leadership in disarray, Seg-El encounters Earthly time-traveler Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos) who warns he’s under the clock to save his beloved world from chaos. Fighting to redeem his family’s honor and protect the ones he loves, Seg is also faced with a life and death conflict – save his home planet or let it be destroyed in order to restore the fate of his future grandson.
KRYPTON is from Warner Horizon Scripted Television and is executive produced by David S. Goyer (“Man of Steel,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” “The Dark Knight Trilogy”) through his Phantom Four banner, alongside Cameron Welsh, who serves as showrunner. In addition to Cuffe and Sipos, the show also stars Georgina Campbell (“Broadchurch”), Elliot Cowan (“Da Vinci’s Demons”), Ann Ogbomo (“World War Z”), Rasmus Hardiker (“Your Highness”), Wallis Day (“Will”), Aaron Pierre (“Tennison”) and Ian McElhinney (“Game of Thrones”). Based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, KRYPTON premieres in 2018.
So far the buzz around “Krypton” has been fairly strong, and the teaser trailers have been met with a positive response, so it will be interesting to see how many people tune in for the premiere.
