Krypton

Two centuries before Superman is sent to Earth after the destruction of his home planet, there’s SYFY’s Krypton.

The show revolves around Superman’s grandfather Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe). The House of El has been stripped of its rank, but Seg increasingly finds himself stuck between his family’s honor, and rising in the ranks thanks to the manipulative House of Vex. That includes his betrothed, Nyssa-Vex (Wallis Day). His heart belongs to another woman, though: Lyta-Zod (Georgina Campbell), the future mother of one of Superman’s greatest enemies, General Zod (Colin Salmon).

This house intrigue might be enough, but thrown into the mix is a time-traveler named Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos) who reveals there’s a bigger threat… Brainiac (Blake Ritson), a.k.a. The Collector of Worlds, is coming. And if Seg doesn’t stop him, Superman will never be born.

The show also stars Elliot Cowan as Daron-Vex, Ann Ogbomo as Jayna-Zod, Rasmus Hardiker as Kem, and Ian McElhinney as Val-El. Based on DC Comics characters, Krypton is executive produced by David S. Goyer (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The Dark Knight trilogy). Cameron Welsh (Ash vs. Evil Dead) is executive producer and showrunner.
