"Krypton" is set two generations before the destruction of Superman's home planet. It follows the Man of Steel's grandfather, Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe), as he fights to redeem his family's honor while also trying to save Krypton from the brink of Chaos. As it is, the House of El has been ostracized and shamed, and it is up to Seg-El to clear their family name. He also happens to be in a forbidden secret relationship with Lyta Zod (Georgina Campbell), who is a reluctant cadet and warrior in the Kryptonian military.
Cuffe will be at the Comic-Con panel along with executive producers, Damian Kindler and Cameron Welsh. A sneak peek of the upcoming series will be shown prior to an out-of-this-world Question and Answer session. The series is based on the DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
David S. Goyer also serves as an executive producer. He previously produced the DC-based movies, "Man of Steel," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," and "The Dark Knight" trilogy.
Other cast members include Ian McElhinney as Seg-El's grandfather Val-El; Elliot Cowan as Kandor's chief magistrate, Daron-Vex; Ann Ogbomo as Alura Zod, the mother of Lyta; Rasmus Hardiker as the engineer Kem, who is also Seg's friend; Wallis Day as junior magistrate Nyssa-Vex; and Aaron Pierre as Dev-Em, who is described as a "chiseled, twenty-something bad boy."
"Krypton" is expected to air on Syfy sometime in 2018.
