In a new DC All Access video, we hear from Cameron Cuffe, the star of the upcoming Syfy TV series “Krypton”, and Cameron Welsh, the show’s Executive Producer, who talk to us about what we can expect from the series, and how it all relates to Superman.
Krypton is the newest series to join the #DCTV lineup and the first to delve into the backstory of Superman’s home world. In this exclusive clip, we talk to the show’s star, Cameron Cuffe, and Executive Producer, Cameron Welsh, about what we can expect from this ambitious new series, what it’s intriguing tie is to the present day DCU and what comics and movies it draws inspiration from.
From Warner Horizon Television and DC Comics, “Krypton” takes place years before the Superman legend we know, when the House of El was shamed and ostracized. This drama 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 Super Hero ever known.
“Krypton” is produced by Warner Horizon Television. The pilot is written by David Goyer (Man of Steel) with Ian Goldberg (Once Upon A Time, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles). Goyer also acts as executive produce through his company Phantom Four with Damian Kindler (Sleepy Hollow), who serves as showrunner. Colm McCarthy (Peaky Blinders) directed the pilot.
The cast includes: Cameron Cuffe (The Halcyon) as Seg-El, Georgina Campbell (After Hours) as Lyta Zod, Ian McElhinney (Game of Thrones) as Val-El, Elliot Cowan (Da Vinci’s Demons) as Daron Vex, Ann Ogbomo (Wonder Woman) as Primus Alura Zod, Rasmus Hardiker (Your Highness) as Kem, Wallis Day (The Royals) as Nyssa Vex and Aaron Pierre (Britannia) as Dev-Em.
“Krypton” will premiere in 2018 on Syfy.
So apparently time travel is involved with the plot of this show. Why am I not surprised?
i have no issues with that. it’s based off a comic… judging from the limited clips/bts vids, i feel the cast is excited and well versed. plus the lead looks like a well placed casting blend of a cross between a young brando and a comic book clark kent. i’ll give it a try before i love or dismiss it.
