Syfy and Warner Horizon Television are developing
Krypton, a one-hour drama series about Superman’s grandfather set in, where else, the doomed planet.
Synopsis:
Years before Kal-El was born, the House of El was shamed and ostracized. This series follows The Man of Steel’s grandfather as he brings hope and equality to Krypton, turning a planet in disarray into one worthy of giving birth to the greatest superhero ever known.
David S. Goyer will be executive producer of the series, along with Ian Goldberg. Goldberg is writing the pilot, based on a story conceived by Goyer & Goldberg.
It's unknown how this show will impact the upcoming
Supergirl TV series, or if it will even be connected to the Krypton glimpsed in the
Man of Steel movie.
