Krypton follows the story of Superman's grandfather, Seg-El, long before Krypton is destroyed. Seg-El is trying to clear his name after the whole family is ostracized due to the actions of his own grandfather. After a grim conclusion to the first season, many fans are wondering how Krypton will turn things around. In preparation for Comic-Con 2018, we're here to give you the skinny on everything we know about the upcoming second season.
What It's About
Season 1 left a ton of unfinished storylines for Season 2 to follow. Seg and Brainiac are both in the Phantom Zone, Adam is trapped in one of Brainiac's cities, which featured a concerning statue of Commander Dru-Zod, and Doomsday is on the loose--no big deal. So despite Syfy not releasing any major plot details, the Season 1 finale gives the writers plenty to work with.
Who's Who
Crew
- David S. Goyer is the show creator.
- Cameron Welsh is the showrunner.
- The show is executive produced by Welsh, David S. Goyer, and Damian Kindler.
Cast
- Cameron Cuffe (Florence Foster Jenkins) plays Seg-El, and even though he got stuck in the Phantom Zone last season, we're pretty sure he will come back for Season 2.
- Georgina Campbell (Murdered by my Boyfriend) plays Lyta Zod, a military commander and Seg's secret girlfriend.
- Shaun Sipos (Texas Chainsaw 3D) plays Adam Strange, the man who warns Seg about Krypton's impending doom.
- Elliot Cowan (Lost in Austen) plays Daren-Vex, the chief Magistrate.
- Ann Ogbomo (Wonder Woman) plays, the leader of Krypton's military and Lyta's mother.
- Ian McElhinney (Game of Thrones) plays Val-El, Seg-El's grandfather who discovered Krypton's impending doom and was punished for it.
What's Been Released So Far
So far a teaser for the show has been released which shows no footage from the upcoming season, but it does show the El family crest/Superman's logo changing into the Zod family crest, which contradicts the established narrative for the future of Krypton. The show has always been very clear that this is an alternative storyline to the story of Krypton that we know, which means anything is possible for Season 2.
What We Want From Comic-Con
Syfy will have a Hall H panel and presentation for Krypton at Comic-Con on Saturday at 12 which will feature Cameron Welsh as well as many of the central cast members, including Cameron Cuffe, Ann Ogbomo, Wallis Day, and Shaun Sipos. No confirmation on a trailer yet, but we're crossing our fingers. Krypton does not have an official release date for Season 2, but it's set to open in the fall of 2019.
