June 7, 2017: "Krypton" TV Series Filming in Belfast, Ireland

The BBC reports that the "Krypton" TV series will take up residence in Belfast, Ireland, becoming the first television production to be filmed at the newly completed Belfast Harbour Studios.

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.

The chief executive of Northern Ireland Screen, Richard Williams, said attracting Krypton was a coup, "We are delighted to welcome Warner Horizon to Northern Ireland," he said. "This cements our position as a world-class filming location with a local and highly skilled crew-base with vast experience."

"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.
