It is a series of the universe of DC that should undoubtedly decide with the usual formats. Superman without Superman, this is more or less the idea of the Krypton series which will focus on the origins of the Man of Steel.
Superman fans are looking forward to it. She is finally here. Almost. We finally know the release date of the Krypton series, which looks like a real prequel to Superman. See you on March 21, 2018.
A quality cast
This is one of the series that should be particularly interesting early 2018. And it finally has its launch date. Krypton, the series that will focus on the origins of Superman's family will be broadcast from March 21, 2018 on Syfy. We will discover the great grandfather of Kal-El played by Ian McElhinney (Barristan Selmy in Game of Thrones) launched in a quest to restore the honor of his family. The rest of the cast includes Georgina Campbell, Elliot Cowan, Ann Ogbomo, Rasmus Hardiker, Wallis Day, Aaron Pierre, Ian McElhinney and Shaun Sipos.
But, the best known name is probably to find the technical side as indicated by this tweet. It is indeed a true veteran of the universe of DC who is at the controls with David S. Goyer. In particular, he participated in the writing of Batman Begins and Man of Steel. In short, a true connoisseur, associated with rather successful films.
Krypton an atypical series?
Above all, what attracts many fans of the universe of Superman and the DC is the possibility of having a series that differs from the others proposed until then. If we have already been served with the Arrowverse (Arrow, Flash, Supergirl), the idea of a series without a real superhero has something strangely attractive. However, it would have been difficult to make a new series on Superman himself. From the adventures of Lois and Clark in Smallville to the various films that have emerged in recent years, the character has been covered extensively.
The series will be broadcast from March 21, 2018 in the USA on the Syfy channel. No channel has yet positioned in France. Maybe M6 could jump in homage to the defunct Smallville?
