“Krypton”, Superman prequel series premiere date revealed

A premiere date for SyFy’s Krypton has finally been announced, as the TV show will premiere on March 21.

The prequel series is set a good few generations before Superman’s home planet is destroyed.

Taking place before the birth of Kal-El, the series will follow Superman’s grandfather Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe) as he struggles to save his home. To make things even more complicated, he must decide whether to save Krypton from destruction, or let it happen in order for his grandson to meet his destiny.

Show runner Cameron Welsh revealed more plot details when he said at San Diego Comic-Con that the series includes a fair share of time travel and a romantic twist for Seg-El with Lyra Zod (Georgina Campbell). Also starring are Elliot Cowan, Ann Ogbomo, Rasmus Hardiker, Wallis Day, Aaron Pierre, and Ian McElhinney.

Executive produced by David Goyer (The Dark Knight)
