Get ready to trek back to Superman's homeworld this fall, as Syfy has officially ordered Krypton to series as part of their massive new initiative to expand its original programming lineup.
The series follows Kal-El's grandfather Seg-El, played by newcomer Cameron Cuffe, in his youth as he attempts to restore the House of El's good name while also saving his planet from erupting into a maddening chaos. Georgina Campbell, Ian McElhinney, Elliot Cowan, Ann Ogbomo, Rasmus Hardiker, Wallis Day, and Aaron Pierre will feature in supporting roles.
Further details weren't provided, but a 10- or 13-episode first season is likely in the cards.
The network also released a promotional still, featuring a first look at the characters played by Cuffe, Campbell, and Hardiker. Check it out below:
